Re: [ANN][GAP] Gapcoin - Prime Gap Search - New Math Algo - CPU / GPU - Zero Premine
Thanks for all the info. Is there any actual use for "gaps". i.e. having a record of all of them etc. I couldn't find any "tangible" use. I like coins that actually provide something, especially when I can mine with just an old computer. 3 blocks now so that's fun.
The original developer no longer being with us became a sticking point, although it is certainly possible to move forward.
That almost always ends up killing a coin. People want a "leader", especially for others to do everything for them while they sit back and make money while crying about how nothing is happening.Gapcoin was launched almost during peek altcoin season
That may be why I missed it. So many coming out it was hard to keep track of them all.We have been delisted from exchanges without any real reason other than a lack of trading volume and development.
ICO's and scam projects have been seemingly more attractive to 'investors'.
Yep. Just goes to show people are only here to make money.ICO's and scam projects have been seemingly more attractive to 'investors'.
"But how are prime gaps useful?
Prime numbers are interesting for lots of mathematicians around the globe, and they're also important to every day cryptography (see RSA).
Researches about prime gaps could not only lead to new breakthroughs in the bounded gap, it may also help proving the Twin Prime Conjecture and maybe even the millennium problem, the Riemann hypothesis. Who knows? "

Why should I care about prime numbers?

"That depends on who you are and what you're doing.
If you're a mathematician, you should care because it's a very important part of mathematics. If you're a computer scientists, especially one that works on cryptography, then you should care as well. If you're just a normal person who finds mathematics interesting and beautiful, then you should care because prime numbers is one of the most interesting and beautiful area of mathematics.
If you're none of the above, feel free not to care

"Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods by different fields such as science, engineering, business, computer science, and industry. Thus, applied mathematics is a combination of mathematical science and specialized knowledge. The term "applied mathematics" also describes the professional speciality in which mathematicians work on practical problems by formulating and studying mathematical models. ..."
