This coin is about 40 days old. It searches for prime gaps and has already found a gap that is 12th in the world records.

The ANN is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=822498.0

Difficulty is now around 24 and if difficulty ever reaches 35.4245, every block will be a new world record!
However merit spikes randomly some times and merit with 33 can happen even with diff of 24 so since difficulty seems to keep rising we expect records rather soon.

I consider coins like primecoin, riecoin and gapcoin rather interesting for helping mathematics and i believe that breaking mathematics world records spreads awareness of what
the bitcoin protocol can do in the scientific community.

I would propose to just mine the coin. You dont need to buy it. Although a GPU miner exists a CPU miner came out about 2 weeks ago which was 10 times faster than previous CPU miner and so the coin is still mostly CPU mined. GPU isnt yet that efficient. There is a pool already although i still prefer solo mining. With a rather good CPU a few blocks can be mined per day.
