Re: [ANN][GAP] Gapcoin - Prime Gap Search - New Math Algo - CPU / GPU - Zero Premine
Hey,
Be sure gjhiggins, BitcoinFX and the weak community are well aware of the limitations / issues / major stake that you are talking about. Unfortunately, we are experiencing a lack of GPU developers and mathematicians [...] at this point, despite the best wishes in the world...
If you knew the history of Gapcoin, its developer and its community, it's true that your post would have been different, I think.
But in general, although there are some better ideas than others, there are rarely bad ones.
What you are saying here is true, but a fact already known and has been thought out. It's obvious to some.
However, I disagree easily with some points like the market cap and mining reward, people are just and simply venal and just don't give a s**t until there is money on the table [...]
If you want to discuss further, it's here :
The thing is, (not a criticism, just a self-evident fact that falls on you one day or another) this is an 'open source' project. If you want to/can participate, you can freely and we will thank you for that.
https://github.com/gapcoin-project
Otherwise, the ideas just go to the pile of ideas. And there is a BIG one.
I'm not trying to be on the defensive, or to justify gjhiggins' answer, but just to replace the Gapcoin's situation.
Give gjhiggins a real bone to chew on and he'll do miracles.
We're just little monkeys randomly typing machines, hoping to produce Shakespeare. (cf Gapcoin Core 0.16.3 > About)
People like you are necessary for this kind of project, but it's a lot of work.
Thanks for your time, your efforts are still appreciated, don't give up !
