It's a bit frustrating when this happens:
[2018-07-21 17:09:33] Found Share: 27.1042661  =>  stale!
[2018-07-17 18:55:30] Found Share: 29.9036025  =>  stale!


Would be nice if you can have the stale gaps printed to screen so potential records could still be submitted.  Especially if it happened to be a new world record ie: 40+ merit so it wouldn't be lost.

Indeed from a records perspective it would be ideal to retain or to at least present all data.

However, this is perhaps a bit like the Butterfly Effect i.e. stale shares and prime gap records are only really 'lost' ... like tears in the rain!

We know that commensurate with network difficulty increasing - new blocks will match and exceed existing records.

"Your record prime gap has now been assimilated by the borg!"   Cheesy


Not necessarily, few are searching in the shift 400-600 range.  Pretty easy feature request to put a -g option which prints to screen the starting prime and gap length along with the current merit.  Plus gapcoin is missing out on marketing itself if its missing out on taking more length records.
