Hi there,

It's nice to see that some of you using higher shifts to find new records.

Im currently working on new version of the Miner wich should speed up
mining with higher shift by using the Chinese Reminder Theorem (CRT).

I tried long to improve mining by using the CRT,
but couldn't find a solution with gives a real speed improve.
The thing is, to improve the mining speed with the CRT you have to use
an higher shift, as higher the shift as bigger the improvement you make by using the CRT.
But with higher shift the mining speed also decreases, so that you make
no big improvement at all.

But if you targeting higher shifts anyway, than the CRT could make a difference!
I'm currently testing my implementation within testnet,
but It will still probably take some time till it's ready.
Just wanted to let you know, that I'm working on something.

I also want to thank you all for the great support from all of you!



FYI - gapcoin.org isn't showing a new record of length 9100 though maybe it needs time to refresh

The website now parses all gaps from http://www.trnicely.net/ till 20k, which is currently
not very efficient implemented, so I set the refresh interval to 4 hours,
once the new miner is finished, I'll take care of it.

Wow, he is not dead.
