DO IT, DO IT, DO IT....ooo 

I think there should be remuneration in some way or another for anyone who is doing work for the coins. It should also be completely transparent (anyone that is being paid should be public).

We need to start getting a foundation setup for the coin so that we can have specific public relations people and support people. We have developers who are also doing some of the support but they should focus on the development and we should get other people with knowledge of folding to do the support and then get separate public relations people. The question is will these people be paid or will they be volunteering for this - someone should contact the developers about this.

This, my friend, is why they need public relations people. Developers develop. Support supports. PR keeps the masses up-to-date with what's going on, works actively to market, and ensures that there is no confusion.

If the Devs put up an OSX Wallet onto the OP and website I will promise to buy 1 BTCs worth of Curecoins on the exchange to add a little to the buying power.  At the moment I have nowhere to put my coins locally so mine are just stored at the folding pool.... not ideal

That's the point - no one is going to read through 200 posts to find a needle in the haystack. Assuming that hundreds of people will is a fundamental flaw in the approach thus far to communicating the coin's purpose.

Presentation and education needs to be the primary focus/FT job of at least 1-2 people. There are lots of people curious about Curecoin but struggling to understand it, verify it. I know the cypto devs are typically brilliant, but marketing is the act of communicating a message than can reach a wide mass of people with minimal friction. Right now there is a significant amount of friction - the reason there's little buy support is because people don't get what they're buying. Highly educated miners are setting up GPUs because they understand the uniqueness of the folding/mining platform and find it intriguing.

But investors/non-technical enthusiasts may not recognize why this coin is special. There's still time, no one is dumping, but it needs to be FT focus.

We need more buy support at the exchange.

Ok, to answer some questions.







Plenty of effort has been made to make things look legit, it just hasn't all been organized in the OP yet. Go look at cygnus's post on page 20. The 'premine' is released over time to the developers and they don't have access to the bulk it is just paid out at like 7488 coins a day to them and then they distribute it to everyone.

More so, should they try to take anything from this premine because of how the organization is setup (in the United States), they can be held accountable for stealing from an organization and be jailed/have it take back/ fined.


I'll see if we can put the info in the OP.

Downclock GPU.

It happened to me and this is the help I got,

kqpahv posted some information directly from the folding forums about this a few pages back.

The issue you are seeing with the WU that appear to be stuck at 99.99% is actually a sync issue in the client.  What is actually happening is that your GPU has encountered an issue.  You can confirm this by looking at the log tab inside the FAH Control client for the specific work unit and you will see it actually stopped updating long before 99.99%.  I had no errors in my logs and didn't see any errors in Windows event viewer but the data being sent in the log stopped long before the 99.99%

The problem is almost guaranteed to be an overclocking problem on your graphics cards.  I had to tone my R9 290X TRI-X cards down to standard 290X speeds.  One computer still had hung work units so I slowed the core clock speed down to 990 MHz instead of 1000 and will keep dropping it until the GPU's can handle the work.  Keep in mind these cards were factory over clocked but that made no difference with folding.  The overclocking got in the way and actually slowed down my WU submission.

TLDR:  Lower your GPU clock and memory speeds until the "hung WU" issue no longer happens.  As a reference I'm using a core clock speed of 1000 MHz and memory clock of 1250 on my R9 290X TRI-X cards (much lower than the factory defaults).  Even at these speeds I still had to reduce the core clock speed on two of these cards down more to 990 MHz and will continue to lower them 10 MHz at a time until the work units get submitted without incident.

I totally agree with the above post.

I think that the lack of marketing is the biggest issue so far. Imo, the coin was released prematurely - even before the website was done. Given the softness of the alt market right now, I don't know why the devs rushed to release. I think it would've made sense to raise a little additional money as well to make some explanatory videos, branded materials, and possibly even buy some ads.

Right now, the devs and all supporters of the coin should be hustling to reach out to writers and media about the coin. The message needs to be clear that the project integrates with Stanford's Folding@Home project and transfers the millions of daily Kwh used for bitcoin mining towards a social purpose - doing disease research. I have personally sent a few emails without much response but could do a lot more.

I also think within the altcoin community, the devs should host an open invite to a number of the big altcoin traders, possibly even flying them out to Michigan (I think?) to meet with the team and visit the data center to understand the legitimacy of the operation. Because of the centralized distribution (even if automated and more Peercoin like centralized checkpointing) there will be questions - but those can be assuaged if others were credibility offer support of the coin.

I think it will be a journey, but that this is the most important redistribution of energy yet proposed in the bitcoin world. That said, the team needs to move quickly or others will release worse coins with better marketing, steal attention and market share and Curecoin will lose. I think the team is doing a strong job on the dev side, but a weak job on the marketing side. The can either look to add marketing talent to their team or depend on the community. If neither of those happen, the project won't succeed.

Welcome aboard! 

Is the last version of the source code the one that is on the official GitHub code repository?

I have two guys mining in my pool and the last thing I want is for them to be mining in an old fork of CureCoin.

Is there something special one has to do in order to mine CureCoin?
I did set up the pool like it was any other Sha256 coin. Did I do it wrong?

I ask this because I have +1 TH/s of mining power in my pool for 2 days and the pool did not find any block!!!

Try underclocking your core clock on your card a tad.

how to stop this sticking at 99.99% ? it is happening on a few rigs now. Didn't happen before.

Curecoin should be a top 10 crypto, it will get there in coming months I expect.

A Public Ledger site is being created, which should ease some of your fears. There's a lot of information on the new website as well.

It's being taken seriously, but there's nothing that can be done to help anyone's opinions until the ledger is out there. The devs could bend over backwards to assure people, but it wouldn't matter. They might as well keep their focus on finishing and publishing the ledger.

And some people will never trust a central holding, even when it's in the hands of a 501c3 nonprofit. For them, there is no help.
