Topic: [ANN][GAP] Gapcoin - Prime Gap Search - New Math Algo - CPU / GPU - Zero Premine - page 94. (Read 287695 times)

Was anyone able to run this on nvidia-cards?

Currently only the primality testing runs on the GPU, the sieving still runs on the CPU.
Although it is possible to port the sieve to the GPU, it will probably take more time.

I could reuse eXtremal's fermat test almost without any changes,
but since Primecoin and Gapcoins sieving differs it will need a more deeper look into the opencl code.

The current parameters should be pretty optimal.
To give you a range:

are't you all positive bunch   shelf life of a crypto coin (any crypto coin) is beyond any exchange shelf life

seeing here some parallels with XPM , in terms of sell off. same people must be doing it, however difficulty level is holding up and primes are being found and at a high rate, don't think fpga yet as price is blocking someone from starting design/manufacturing process. for me GAP and XPM future lies years if not decades in advance, not poloniex short trades, both are very innovative in terms of computing number theory problems in the distributed fashion with a reward attached to it, just a little over year ago no one would even think about doing this, so you all have span of little over 1 year of history, unless developer steps aside which I have a gut feeling he won't GAP blockchain is going to grow as well as difficulty of network overall, public at large is still unaware (public at large is unaware about crypto in general!) media has 0 press releases on the subject and rest are some miners that got on AWS quick and sold it quick to recoup AWS cost + some tiny profit.. this is very weak strategy

I am a bit bitter self.. but only because I can not use GPU miner (NVIDIA system) but I should blame it on myself and attach IDE with C++ bring source cod up and adjust for that card.. instead of waiting for the world to deliver it to me

thank you for your attention

Seems like we have to get the price up somehow.
I'll buy some GAP, but I don't have that much BTC to make a reasonable impact.

It's a shame because this is one of the few coins that do actually useful work. Hopefully people will continue to mine even if it doesn't bring great profit for now.

Seems to be the end for this coin.

anyone still mine on this coin,
just buy it at cheap price.

yes, and no one buying, just selling .

this coin price very low

I didn't stop, my rate of finding blocks hasn't changed in the last 24hrs and I am still profitable (even with the price drop).

I would be very interested in how many coins a solo GPU miner is finding per day; pps numbers are difficult to use when a non-standard sieve is being used.

Great news about the GPU miner,i was away for a while.Gonna try it.

I was triyng setting my AMD Sapphire 280X rig to it yestarday. I was able setting mining with the rig stable only with 2 cards. Obviously the GPU miner requires more powerful CPU than celeron , because of this I considered not to use the rig for GAP...

I didnt. GPU is still buggy it seems or people dont know how to configure it. I am still getting a few blocks per day. Once network hashrate gets like 25% more then i will consider stopping too.

What bothers me as i have told before is that i would prefer a more aggresive block reward halving instead of the 2 years one in order sto stimulate more speculation.

And at least some basic marketing, not about gapcoin being the future of the cryptos but about proposing people to try it and be part of some record breaking which generally help crypto exposure...

Any ideas ?

I was CPU mining , but when GPU "arrived" I stoped ...

Man the GPU miner have really made it impossible to CPU mine this coin...

Oh well I guess i'll move on to the next interesting coin

-z 10 was about 30 minutes and than stopped.

-z 4 workin about 1.5 hours (continue mining) and 2 blocks were found in solo mode.

Just in case you have not got them going, the answer was right in the quote.

Use an instance for each card.

Actually I think 10 is the default,

We have been messing with the -z --queue-size locally with the previous port 4205 higher difficulty.

Currently...
-z 10 stops mining in about 5 minutes,
-z 4 ran for 45 minutes before we stopped it to try some other numbers.
-z 6 stopped in about 5 minutes

back to testing -z 4
15 minutes and counting...

It's solo mining.

P\S to devs, i guess -z 10 solve the problem.
