So someone got a 33.32281046 gap. That would put it 12th in the world record list.
fantastic!
would be great to publish this... anyone knows on the status of support for GPU Nvidia cards for GAP, thanks in advance!
The creator said he'd submit it to the recordkeeper for publishing. Maybe it would be a good idea for @gapcoin to tweet to Wired or Scientific American magazine. It's certainly an interesting use for an altcoin.

Hi,
I'm working on reddit to gapcoin, if someone can write a welcome post would be good, because my english is not good,
also if anyone wants to participate as a moderator or to make any change in design is welcome.

Yes, noticed that
I already contacted nonce-pool about paying the bounty for the finder Un3eaL.
I'll submit the gap to http://primerecords.dk

Not sure if anyone else thinks this is a good idea, but can we replace those 10 & 15 gap metrics with something else?
I am using primes/s and candidates/s eg:
This is just the number of "numbers" scanned, in effect how fast numbers are skipped/tested. I just accumulate sievesize for every call of run_sieve.
It is the only way I can see of measuring performance across different miners and different parameters (tuning parameters is why I added it to mine).

Guys, i am still trying to understand all about the algo of this coin.
I do understand how the difficulty works : when the difficulty increase, gap and prime size increase too.
But how are calculated the prime we have to find ?
Are they random ?

Starting point is derived from the block you are mining so effectively the starting point is random. The "absolute end point" is defined by the "shift" which you get to pick. People only mine part of the "space" which is defined by the sieve size.
Difficulty is logarithmic, it is on the gapcoin website, so a difficulty or 23 is significantly harder than one of 22.
Summary; random range of numbers are scanned looking for a run (currently a few thousand) of composite numbers.

In addition, please see the proof-of-work verification code for restrictions - see lines 99 onwards:
https://github.com/gapcoin/Gapcoin-PoWCore/blob/master/src/PoW.cpp
Also, because the merit of the gap is the ratio of the gap size relative to the natural logarithm of the smaller prime, the size of the prime does not have to increase by much as the difficulty increases.

Wow, an idiot moderator deleted my previous post. I'll post it again, lets see if they ban my account.
GAP is dead, supercomputing abusing it with a private cpu/gpu miner, no volume on poloniex, several large botnets active...
I'll focus my CPU power on Riecoin, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annric-riecoin-constellations-pow-cpu-hard-fork-successful-world-record-446703 , we are about to break world record in 5 days.
There is the evidence? If not, then I say - before you say, keep HTML GAP is dead, supercomputing abusing it with a private cpu/gpu miner, no volume on poloniex, several large botnets active...

All have the fastest miner... No botnet mining RieCoin?

hmmm, everything seems to be fine... nobody talking about problems.
am i the only one?
no connection anymore. unable to load "gap.nonce-pool.com" (tried different browser, no connestion). tried different miners (cpu+gpu) to connect to the pool, only cpu-solomining with gap-wallet works.
mining other coins still works fine, internet works fine but all things 'round gap don't work...
any ideas? please help!
going to check my system for malware...

You is not working GPU miner?

Where is the buy support? I guess the news of someone mining most blocks with a 30x faster miner is too much for investors.
Is it a new miner that is 30x faster now?
Come !, I can not believe something. Do you have a miner?
The new miner is in the thread... most people have swtiched to it. I don't think there is only one miner that is better than the rest..
