Hi there,
first of all Id like to thank you all for your great support over the years.
Second I want to confirm that Gapcoin indeed broke the World Record for the largest known prime gap of maximum merit:
NEW PRIME GAP OF MAXIMUM KNOWN MERIT
The Gapcoin network (Jonnie Frey, developer), a Bitcoin derivative which employs a hashing algorithm to search for prime gaps of high merit, has discovered a new prime gap of maximum known merit, a gap of G=8350 following the 87-digit prime P1=293703234068022590158723766104419463425709075574811762098588798217895728858676728143227. The merit M=G/ln(P1) of this gap is M=41.93878373153988, the largest merit of any known prime gap, and the first prime gap to be discovered with a merit exceeding 40. The endpoints of the gap have been certified as primes deterministically, using the Akiyama-Kida-O'Hara UBASIC implementation (1988-1992) of the APRCL2 test, due to Adleman, Pomerance, Rumely, Cohen, H. W. Lenstra, and A. K. Lenstra (1984-1987).

Do you now have plans to continue with Gapcoin's development and/or with the future release of updated software, now or in the future ?
