Sure thing, although if someone does come along with a new pool (public or private) then it's, do what thou wilt ...

Good effort! Sadly Gapcoin was de-listed from cryptopia.co.nz on 10th Jan. 2019 (as previously advised).

Furthermore, it would seem that we have had a lucky escape as cryptopia.co.nz was apparently hacked on 14th/15th Jan. 2019 and remains closed at present. Users Gapcoin funds were therefore mostly unaffected.

@four3200 - interested in your decentralized exchange suggestions and watching the thread. Keep us posted about any developments!

@UsernameNumber7 - trade.mct.plus looks OK - I will contact them via discord when I find a moment.

Indeed GJHiggins repository seems to be working backwards ...

Contrary to popular belief, I'm able to build new binaries for windows and linux. However, I do not currently have a fully working / up-to-date / secure build environment, but I'm working to fix that soon.

I have mentioned Gapcoin development to the guys who had recently forked Bitcoin ABC to Bitcoin Stash. These guys are competent 'Bitcoin' developers and I hope that we might work with them in the future. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5043802.0

Does your repo. SwissKnife1000/gapcoin - build a working QT successfully on Ubuntu 18.04 running without error 'loadlocale.c:129: _nl_intern_locale_data: Assertion `cnt < (sizeof (_nl_value_type_LC_TIME) / sizeof (_nl_value_type_LC_TIME[0]))' failed.' and where 'export LC_ALL=C' etc., will only fix the issue temporarily ?

The Gapcoin daemon (and QT wallet) will compile and run on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - so, in terms of operating systems, we are OK until early 2020.

I do need to spend more time to familiarize myself with the code base. Sadly, other things always take priority.

I have been optimizing the CRT mining sets for the higher merits. Despite some of the 'safety' restrictions in the code base (1024 shift etc.,) I remain confident that we could hit a merit of around 46 with the current implementation! We just need enough base level hashing power (from in-wallet mining) and CRT miners who know 'how to' mine correctly to progress the difficulty. Guide and sets in progress ...

Upgrading the code base will also ensure that the Prime Gap results can continue to be of much higher merits.

J0nn9 did incredible work here. I will be adding some limited information and links to the gapcoin.club website in due course.

I'm also going to try and contact some of his family members and colleagues. I feel that it's somewhat relevant to know if his family have access to his coins and/or if we can initialize a donation address for them as we continue to progress the project. If his original Gapcoin is assumed to be inaccessible, then we perhaps have even more in common with Bitcoin than we thought.

Never a better time to start mining / trading / accepting Gapcoin folks! (IMHO).
