But you do break even/make a small profit from folding: https://cointweak.com/calculator/coin/cure/FAH

I dunno about that.  I think if it even made enough to break even you'd have lots of people folding.  I also think you could get a lot of progressives to use or at least promote curecoin when they might be hesitant about bitcoin due to the vast number of right wingers in the BTC community. 

I think the biggest problem here, even moreso than the technical limitations of the coin implementation (the premine and IPO instead of split rewards ala devcoin, lack of merge mining) is the complete lack of marketting.  This coin could absolutely be written about in major print magazines if the marketing and community outreach was even halfway decent.

It's quite simple really.  The majority of people aren't interested in helping anyone in this world and the only people having any real interest in this coin are the miners who seem only too happy to dump at pointless prices.
Plus the only real exchange it is on(poloniex) is being heavily manipulated by a bot which no one wants to trade against.

I think CureCoin needs a bigger marketing team to get this coin out there.

What is going that the price still dropping?

Quick Dev Update:

We had a G+ Chat for a few hours to hammer down the conference details. We are planning on having two standing banners, and a table runner. FifthGB made an awesome Android informational app you can download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conduit.app_f160cb96dde1445793dc95ed77265ae3.app and I'll be working with him to get it onto the iOS store as well. Bitcoin conference reservation is set in stone, and the Curecoin booth will be open for business.

In other news, I'm putting the finishing touches on a simple visually-oriented document outlining how a certificate-based blockchain will work, though keep in mind the development and integration of such a system is quite a ways in the future, and involves multiple participating universities. For clarification, if such a system is implemented, all curecoins *will* transfer over to the new system. We're not going to start fresh or anything silly like that.

Hey, found this coin and it's worth using my hashpower on. Love the project and idea, this is real world use instead of solving random problems this solves real world problems.

I hope more donate there hashpower here to get these problems solved. This could be groundbreaking for disease and science.

Also, yes we also have to treat this coin like a business model and developer updates often do help coins grow and much more success. Few days in cryptos is like weeks. Keeping on top and in the news is imporatant.

Don't let this coin die for lack of properly updating or marketing, its too important to be pushed aside by other junk coins.

I would like to hear bit of updates on what the DEV team is working on right now.

I don't think there is any other marketing planned as of yet. They are still working very hard to improve the technical side of the coin.

Any plans to actually market this?  It seems like you shouldn't have a hard time getting into a Wired article or something on Ars.

Hey! Since the coin is out of the "IPO"/crowdfunding stage, we no longer offer the 1 BTC for 10k Curecoin, unfortunately. Curecoin can be purchased on the exchanges (bittrex, poloniex), or on the forums.

For PoS, the easiest way to mint PoS blocks is to simply put the coins you don't plan on spending into an offline wallet, and every 30 days bring it back online for a day or two until you see the PoS blocks not coming any more.

I have done more research and understand better.  Thank you all.

I think since I have mined before, I would also like to try the investor route of supporting the coin.  Folding seems just like mining from my perspective.

How does one participate as an investor to donate 2.0 BTC and get 20k CureCoin, and then participate in PoS minting?

I see it has developers(given coins in pre-mine), miners(earn coins by processing transactions), folders(earn coins for doing the science of solving protein folding problems), and investors(earn coins by investing and then securing the coin with PoS minting).

There is a guide to everything but investing and PoS.  How do I participate as an investor as well as a folder?

This is a great use for Nvidia cards, but the PoS option seems rather attractive as well.

Yup they added it right when I told them

First of all, this is not a mining system. It is a scientific system that calculates protein folding.
That being said, these work jobs can take multiple hours indeed. But your system can do whatever it want in the mean time. Unlike a mining system you have a progress towards completing the task, so if you reboot, crash, pause your system to play a game, etc. the FAH client saves your progress and you can resume from where you left off.
"Miners crash", FAH client does not. The FAH client is a scientific program (As I've mentioned before) and a lot of work has been put into the program to make it work. Unlike some crypto hobbyist who has made a new miner program from his basement in a solo project (Not saying miner programs are all terrible, but there is a difference), this thing has been extensively tested BEFORE release.

Some knowledge on the term PPD: Points Per Day. Meaning you will gain approximately 290-300K Points today. Not in 1 hour, not in 12 hours, but in 24 hours. This also is an average! As you are working with jobs that can take a few hours you can't expect to get 300K points every day on the charts. Because if you deliver a job at 00:05 AM it won't count for this day and you will only have 220K points (if it was a job for 80K points). This does however mean that the next day you have a chance of gaining 380K points (300K average + last day's 80K project).

On a side note: it is better for folding if you don't overclock. Overclocking your system may lead to incorrect calculations which in turn will give you incorrect folding results. This harms both your points and the scientific research because your work will be rejected and has to be done all over again.

If you crash, there are checkpoints saved if you look at the log file in the f@h client. So the f@h client will just resume from the last checkpoint.

The system has been in place since 2000 (9 years before bitcoin came out) and it works. It's not a mining system but a folding system.

I am unfamiliar with this type of mining.

I turned off the CPU mining as suggested in the guide and turned the GPU to "Full" and set to core_17 process.

It is bouncing around between 290k-300k on the app, says 12% on the progress bar, ETA 7 hours....

So my system has to run flawlessly overclocked for 8.5 hours before work is submitted at all?  What if I crash after having done 5 hours of that work?

Poor system if it requires 9 hour stretches to complete before work is "turned in." IMHO.

miners crash.

Am I understanding your observation correctly and this new mining system?

You haven't submitted any work units yet right?

With an hour of folding I don't think it's possible.

been mining for an hour - but nothing on the pool website.   



All my usernames match, I meticulously followed the guides and setup walkthroughs.

So is my 300K PPD being wasted by the pool?  Why isn't my username being matched and my PPD shown in the pool website?

Am I cooking an extremely expensive OCed Titan for nothing?
