Hopefully you have been mining Gapcoin along the way?
Not thus far - I'm confined to a i7 laptop atm and given it's an expensive Dell XPS 15 9560, I'd rather buy than fry.

I will take a look and try spinning up an instance or two from your latest repo. before adding it to the website.
It should work out of the box, I've even forked the Gapcoin-PoWCore repos so's I can fix the constexpr issue which was preventing successful compilation.

Assuming the requisite packages are installed according to build-unix.md (https://github.com/gjhiggins/gapcoin/blob/v0.9.3-gap/doc/build-unix.md#to-build-from-git), the following should work out of the box for anyone wanting a GUI client on one of the current Ubuntu-flavoured distros:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
HERE=`pwd`
git submodule init
git submodule update
${HERE}/autogen.sh
${HERE}/configure --with-incompatible-bdb --with-gui --with-miniupnpc --with-qrencode --disable-tests
make

The next significant task is to get the tests working (some of the test fixtures are Bitcoin-specific and are bound to fail).

I must also find the time to look again at the Slimcoin thread, developments and my old wallet.dat's !
You've not missed much. And Slimcoin, like Peercoin, remains PoS v1 which means you don't need the wallet open all the time to stake, just fire it up and wait while it grinds through the stakes.

Cheers
