I tried mining some with some shifts on the range around 380 but miners gave me 'illegal instruction core dump' error.

I then noticed that it gives me that error for every shift bigger than 192. So i put my miners running with shift 187-192. Lets see what happens.

It seems to work. Any reason why i get this error? Can my binaries be the problem?

My PPS is halved btw.

Looks like you've found a world record already on a shift 192--length 7546

Yep i checked and i think its mine

Hurray!

I have a few VMs with AMD processors. I think i have plenty of memory and thats not the problem. Running Ubuntu 14.04. Unfortunately i cant install dependencies so i can only use binaries. Now since i am quite noob on those things, i know just the basics, when i made some binaries from the source on my personal computer i couldnt run it on my VMs because of missing dependencies. See, i dont really know how to build nice static binaries (damn i am not sure if those are called like this, i am just a physics guy Tongue

) So i got permissions to install dependencies on one of my VMs once and somehow i built a binary that managed to work on the other VMs. The binary was like 15% slower but it did the job.

So what i think i need is a guide to show me how to static build gapminer...

Btw, i was thinking about an idea that probably will bring more people aboard. I am not sure if it can be done or maybe if it is bad so i am just writing it here for discussion. Is it possible to automatically know who (if he wants ofc) is mining the world record blocks so that we can list the records like this: Gapcoin[Username]
You know, the idea is that you are mining gaps for the coins, for science and for a position on the 'leaderboards'...
