I hate to say this....
But if supporters of this coin wish to have a pool - with my help - I will need some help with knowledge.
I have purchased a domain and been constantly tinkering with pool software as time allows, I have more azure credit I can use for a VM to host the site/software.
I have googled and asked in many forums and discord channels with minimal help received.
As much as I love the concept of this coin, I can't do anything but mine the coin unless someone steps up and helps me figure things out on the coding end.
I do not wish to waste my efforts nor anyone else's.
Your efforts and input are appreciated, however, pool
development is unfortunately not the major priority currently.
The development of Gapcoin core and new software releases are curently more
essential for the project. Realize that these developments (as they happen) are also likely to change the working 'old' pool / code implementation.
However, if you can get it running then great! As long as your main inventive is seeing increased network hashing power and the discovery of larger prime gaps over personal profit.

Oh no, I gave up on profitability a long time ago. It's a combination of enjoying the concepts of this coin along with gaining personal knowledge. I apologise if my post came across wrong, just a little frustrating.
