 this coin is almost dead now   

I'm certainly not an economist either, but I suspect value / demand of any crypto is probably going to boil down to what you can do with it over others and the community.  I'm seeing things like credit cards backed by crypto's being talked about, acceptance by payment processors like PayPal, etc.  Ideally we would get universities that sign the certificates to also allow people to use CC at their universities for tuition, buying books, etc.  Actual utility that people would find valuable.

Unfortunately I don't have the experience to even pursue such ideas, not to mention my second full time job is trying to keep my computers running.  UGH.

IMO, I do not think a crypto can survive if it's main purpose is to be traded on exchanges.  I hope resistance to quantum computers is a feature that people will feel is important enough for adoption over other coins but honestly until you guys mentioned it, I didn't even know it was a threat.  Curecoin is clearly much more productive in use of energy.  No doubt about it, but there are other coins pursuing energy efficient methods as well.  For instance, Gridcoin is going through a complete redesign so that CPU's and GPU's all go toward research (95% overall).  Who knows how that will turn out but there is progress on a number of fronts.

I think what we are doing to earn curecoins is a huge selling point but I don't know how to leverage that into adoption / acceptance by payment processors.

I hope I'm not sounding harsh.  I know you guys are working as hard as you can and CC2.0 is a huge improvement, but utility has been a concern of mine for some time.  I haven't seen much mentioned about it.

What kind of participation are you looking for?


Quite a few people are still folding, we're nearly double the daily production of our closest competitor!


It's not dying, we're in a lull period while writing extensive amounts of code for cc2.0/3.0.


Certainly seems to be down, that block explorer seems to have had some problems lately. Curecoin 3.0 will have a built-in block explorer.


I'm no economist and can't make any predictions about future price with any kind of certainty (hey, it's crypto!), but one of the roadblocks to the next generation of Curecoin is getting universities to integrate certificate signing into their existing computational research projects. We're working on making sure this integration is as easy and faultless as possible, which should ease any University's resistance towards implementing Curecoin into their work. Value is certainly an odd concept in cryptocurrency, and no one is entirely sure where value for any coin truly comes from. Some of it comes from speculation, some from utility, some from blind diversification, some from market manipulation, and some seems to materialize out of thin air. The hope is that the utility of Curecoin will push it to a higher valuation--it will offer similar utility to existing cryptocurrencies, and will have a signing algorithm which is resistant to Quantum Computers, unlike Bitcoin/Litecoin/Peercoin/Dogecoin...etc's ECDSA. Additionally, it is a significantly cleaner alternative to traditional mining--all computational power pointed towards generating coins is doing valuable computational research, and the relationship with university research facilities will hopefully increase the public image and set it aside from the black-market-related image that most major cryptocurrencies have been unfortunately shaded with.

In addition to programming, the team is working with media contacts to further Curecoin's media exposure, though this has proven to be a lengthy process.

i still folding  so... i'm a believer in CC team and what they can do. keep F@H

How many people are mining Btc and alt's?

I think there are enough who are folding:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=

Curecoin had a output of 4,012,966,688 points in May!
These people where not only "new" folding miners, some were for sure people of other teams, but they are all back in their old teams and the miners are looking at the current price........

bump...

It seems that the people that actually fold is a very small group.  I thought this would bring new people in and it did but I don't think a lot of people that had never folded before actually stuck around.

In all honesty I'm not sure how much longer I'll continue to fold.  My reasons have nothing to do with Curecoin though.  It has to do with the fact that folding on my hardware has been a non-stop battle since I started.  When I finally got Core 17's running smoothly Stanford broke out the Core 16's again which causes my machines to crash constantly so the battle started all over again.

I've been to the F@H forum and posted a couple of times.  Members of the forum do try to help but I find the support from the "support" team to be lacking in many ways.  Obvious things that would improve the user experience are clearly of no interest to them which is getting on my nerves to say the least.  It seems they have more of an interest in getting people to go away then they do with improving things.  So I'll probably oblige them soon.

If new people ran into a fraction of the problems I ran into I honestly can't say I blame them for moving on though.  Most people don't have the time to keep fighting the issues that come up.  Neither do I.

  

seems the coin is dying. it had decent idea but somehow peopel dint follow.
real sham as this oculd help many lives

As a pretty vocal supporter of Curecoin I really wish I could say I'm aware of plans that will increase the long-term value of the coin, but sadly I'm not aware of any.  CC 2.0 is certainly an improvement, but unless universities literally get behind CC 2.0 I'm still not sure where the value will come from.

Additionally, it doesn't appear that the folding community is large enough to build an economy themselves such as with Dogecoin.

If someone is interested, I've compiled the headless wallet on arm (for my QNAP nas).
If there is interest I can post a compile guide.
I can as well make a static version which works on many arm devices including android.

is the block explorer down? it says "coucou".

The graph of curecoin value is pretty disheartening. Essentially no upward movement for its entire life....yet I keep buying more and folding because I believe in the cause. Can anyone give some reasons why the downward movement won't continue? Any big plans that will increase the value long-term?

Ebola is topical subject, EMC2 is considering making a public donation, we need to know if you are willing to join our campaign if we carry it forward?

Checkout what they are working on for improvements.

As Vorksholk says, the project is moving right along.

Welcome back!

Awesome, welcome back!


Nope, Josh (Cygnus-XI) doesn't use BTCTalk anymore. He's still very active on IRC (Freenode #curecoin), and the project is still very alive.

coin dead?

I think I'll start mining curecoin again

Folding on Windows 7 x64 with the F@H 7.4.4 client.  Unfortunately I seem to have a fickle hardware set.  My 290X TRI-X cards seem to be quite picky and wouldn't even run the core 17 projects consistently until AMD released their 14.7RV3 beta drivers.  So if I messed with the clock speeds to try to get them to run core 16 I would have issues with the core 17 WU's.

Thanks for posting the thread above!  I'm not sure if you have seen the latest messages in it, but they rolled the software update they had applied to the assignment servers back off again.  My WU appear to be core 17 again but it will be interesting to see if core 16's still get sent out.

I appreciate the info!

Are you folding on Linux or Windoof?

Core16 was made for the HD6000 series, i also thought all projekt were done.

Looks like an empty AS for core17, https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=26784, core15 is also old.
Core15 is only for nvidia.

Are the cards oced? try them with stock clock, core16 maybe handles oc different.
