What is Rapture?
Rapture digital currency is a highly secure and flexible method of payment that furthers the economic strength of the community itself. With no connection to the manipulation and corruption of the global banking and financial cartels, Rapture provides a way for believers to store value, exchange value, transact, and spread the word to the masses.

Rapture has three core goals:
• To provide secure blockchain technology leveraged by believers
• To create a built-in market for tract and gift sales, which gives believes a platform for spreading their message while increasing value to the currency
• To serve as a convenient method of payment among believers, which increases the community grant fund for outreach and missionary programs

Fundamentals

Symbol: RAP

Type: PoW + Masternodes - Neoscrypt (ASIC Resistant, GPU friendly, DgW v3 retargeting)

Features: Masternodes with high rewards, InstantSend, PrivateSend, Fast block times

Coin supply: Approx 21 Million

Premine: Approx 3%*

Masternode Reward: 50% of block (+ Lucky PoW) (MN Rewards are 25% up to block 2000, and 50% from then on)

Masternode Collateral: 1000 Rapture

Block time average: 120 seconds

PoW Reward: 14 Rapture (7 PoW + 7 MN), reducing by 7% annually

Governance: Budgets and Superblocks initiating after approx 1 year (block 262,800)

* Rapture premine to be used for Airdrops, Bounties, and development of Rapture Gift Cards system

How to mine Rapture on a mining pool ?

1. Create a wallet address
You'll need a wallet to receive the Rapture coins mined. It is better to download the official wallet according to your Operating System. There is another crappy quick and dirty method that we don't recommend: create a wallet address on an exchange but many exchange diagree and may lost some coins.

Please refer to the Wallets section of the official bitcointalk thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2788625.0
Or use the official github repository:
https://github.com/RaptureCore/Rapture/


[nVidia] 2. Miner for nVidia cards (neoscrypt)
For nVidia cards, we suggest you to last version of CCminer : https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases
For GTX 1080/1080 Ti, ccminer will work but hashrate may be increased with https://github.com/alexis78/ccminer or https://github.com/KlausT/ccminer/releases or https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer/releases

For AMD cards, see here below.

Remark: some anti-virus and anti-malware may detect the miner as a virus. It is due to the fact that miners were integrated in malwares and virusses so some anti-virus detect the miner as a potentially dangerous component. We use these binaries since years: we've never encounter problems because we avoid to download any binaries and always use the offial binary release on bitcointalk or github.

[nVidia] 3. Configure ccminer batch file and launch it
3.1 Create a new launch file ("mine RAP on unimining.bat" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
ccminer-x64 -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu1.unimining.net:4242 -u RKzT18VTsZBLznG2EJxuLKmfuQg7UqSwjX -p c=RAP --cpu-priority=3
Please note the following arguments to the miner ccminer (64 bits version for my OS):
-a neoscrypt : set the algorithm
-o stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu1.unimining.net:4242 : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (4242 for neoscrypt algo dedicated to RAP)
-u RKzT18VTsZBLznG2EJxuLKmfuQg7UqSwjX : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
-p c=RAP : optional (password) parameters. -p is used to give the password related to the username. As mining is anonymous, the password is used to pass optional arguments. c=RAP is used to force YiiMP to mine Rapture (RAP is the symbol defined on the pool for Rapture) : YiiMP should detect the crypto-currency mined according to the wallet address but as coins are forks of other coins (and some don't adapt address' code), it doesn't always work as expected. So we recommand to always set the coin with at least the optional parameter c (ex: c=RAP).. stats is used to perform a benchmark of your GPU (first GPU on multi-GPU) on the 50st share. To add several parameter, seperate them by commas, e.g. -p c=RAP,stats to set the coin as Rapture and perform benchmark
--cpu-priority=3 : parameter used to set the cpu priority.
3.2 Launch the *.bat file and check wallets' page after 5 to 10 minutes.


[AMD] 2. Miner for AMD cards (neoscrypt)
For AMD cards, you can download Gateless Gate according to your Operating System:
Gateless Gate: https://github.com/zawawawa/gatelessgate/releases/
Only windows binaries are provided, you can download the source code and compile it if your OS is not Windows.

I also updated my AMD graphic cards drivers to "Crimson ReLive Edition 17.10.1 10/10/2017" but I didn't install the ReLive part.

Other miner application such as NSGminer can be used with AMD hardware but we were not able to use it (due to a special hardware configuration):
https://github.com/ghostlander/nsgminer/releases


[AMD] 3. Configure Gateless Gate config and batch files and launch it
3.1 Create a new launch file ("mine RAP on unimining.bat" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
@echo off
set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
gatelessgate.exe --gpu-platform 1 --default-config gatelessgate-RAP.conf
pause
3.2 Create a new conf file ("gatelessgate-RAP.conf" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
{
"algorithm": "neoscrypt",
"intensity": "13",
"worksize": "256",
"gpu-threads": "1",
"load-balance": true,

"auto-fan": true,
"temp-cutoff": "90",
"temp-overheat": "85",
"temp-target": "75",

"pools": [
{
"name": "MAIN",
"user": "RKzT18VTsZBLznG2EJxuLKmfuQg7UqSwjX",
"pass": "c=RAP",
"quota": "99;stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu1.unimining.net:4242"
},
{
"__comment": "Please keep this entry. Otherwise, I won't be able to continue open-source development. - zawawa",
"name":"DEVFEE",
"user": "zawawa.gatelessgate",
"pass": "x",
"quota": "1;s1.theblocksfactory.com:3333"
}
]
}
Please note the following parameters in the conf file:
"algorithm": "neoscrypt" : set the algorithm
"quota": "99;stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu1.unimining.net:4242" : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (4242 dedicated for RAP)
"user": "RKzT18VTsZBLznG2EJxuLKmfuQg7UqSwjX" : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
"pass": "c=RAP" : optional (password) parameters. "pass" is used to give the password related to the username. As mining is anonymous, the password is used to pass optional arguments. c=RAP is used to force YiiMP to mine Rapture (RAP is the symbol defined on the pool for Rapture) : YiiMP should detect the crypto-currency mined according to the wallet address but as coins are forks of other coins (and some don't adapt address' code), it doesn't always work as expected. So we recommand to always set the coin with at least the optional parameter c (ex: c=RAP).. stats is used to perform a benchmark of your GPU (first GPU on multi-GPU) on the 50st share. To add several parameter, seperate them by commas, e.g. -p c=RAP,stats to set the coin as Rapture and perform benchmark (remark: stats should work with yiimp but I didn't test it with Gatelessgate).

Remark: Both files should be inside the directory of Gatelessgate.

3.3. Launch the *.bat file and check wallets' page after 5 to 10 minutes.
