I assert that John Allen Frey was the original developer of Gapcoin
Your assertion may has been proven wrong since j0nn9 (Jonny Frey) has been active on bitcointalk on March 23, 2018! Also he (or his script) has updated
http://gapcoin.org/primegaps-length.php on September 10, 2019!
At this 5th year milestone, I would like to thank Jonny and all the supporters of the GapCoin project. New record prime gaps await us ahead!
@PrimeObsession - perhaps you can shed some more light on this?
I agree it is most certainly an anomaly. However, even the original PoWCore seems to point to John Allen Frey being involved here ...

actual difference, it was offering to update the

We are assuming that some unknown others took the project reigns for sometime ... perhaps Dr Thomas Nicely or someone else close to Frey ... ?
See:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=822498.msg53120640#msg53120640It remains a mystery as to who, briefly, updated the gapcoin.org records, who is continually paying for the domain name and hosting (if it isn't long-term paid for on auto renewal!?) and exactly which genius(es) actually contributed and convieved building and launching Gapcoin / PoWCore.
Several requests have been made in this thread and elsewhere for the original developers or anyone associated with them to come forward, yet to-date, no one has come forward and/or contested my/our (community) assertions.
Regards,
