What's the difference of this ann thread to your other gapcoin ann thread that has 105 pages?

Interesting! Why is your website not secure?

We have a new and unique logo:






Starting with digit "3" at the top, it proportionally shows the size of the gap (black) between two consecutive prime numbers.

It shows gaps 2,2,4,2,4,2,4,6,2,6,4,2,4,6,6,2,6,4,2,2.
That last gap ending back at the top is wrong. It should be a 6-gap (from 73 to 79), not a 2-gap.
In fact it's obvious that you can only get consecutive 2-gaps at the start.
You can argue that it was a 6-gap that got truncated by reaching the top, but that would be rather obscure and misleading. It would be better to remove it to indicate the discontinuity.
Or you can argue that it was wrong on purpose just to make it look symmetric at the top. Which is not how we do mathematics.


So the 'old' Gapcoin logo presents said graphical anomaly as per the above ...

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_gap

"The first 60 prime gaps are:

    1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 6, 2, 6, 4, 2, 4, 6, 6, 2, 6, 4, 2, 6, 4, 6, 8, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 14, 4, 6, 2, 10, 2, 6, 6, 4, 6, 6, 2, 10, 2, 4, 2, 12, 12, 4, 2, 4, 6, 2, 10, 6, 6, 6, 2, 6, 4, 2, ... (sequence A001223 in the OEIS)."


...

~ Mind the Gap and well spotted ...

Can you refute Gapcoin's on-chain Prime Gap records ?

The motive of the circle is inspired by the prime number distribution.

Update:

  • PoW code rewritten form simple proof of concept C to object oriented readable C++.
  • Code integration started with bitcoin v0.9.2rc2, looks good so far.

Just for references, what was the previous reward scheme? I don't remember. Watching this thread for a while now Smiley

A hard cap without reward halving every 420000 blocks.

Anything new to report about this coin? I can't wait to see it lunch!

Edit: Reward scheme changed: Block reward halving every 420000 (about 2 years) with about 10 - 30 million GAP.

Will you be releasing a python PoW too? for P2P Pool... and Javascript would be cool too, so NOMP can include it Wink

NOMP seems to be pretty cool, but first of all the coin must be created Wink

Yeah... i know, but one of the first things that must be handled for these new cpu algos is the pools, because there are some guys with serious cpu mining power (*cough* *cough* botnets *cough*) that rapemine these coins like no-one's business.

Just saying, this algo seems pretty spiffy, being a math geek myself, i'm liking all these prime PoWs.

Suggest you update logo

I know its just a template, but there could be a logo contest.

You could use this prime-sieve program as a logo:

Code:
000100011001100101000110100
 000000101100000100100010101
 11110111          101001000
 11010000          111001101
 000000000010110111001110011
 11111011110000000011111001
 10111000
 00010110
0000110110

That would be pretty cool if it were fancied up a touch.
