I was wondering if anyone's considered hitting this thing from the third angle. We've got GPU's hitting the folding pretty hard. We've got SHA256 ASIC's hitting the mining end pretty hard. What about a multipool so the SCRYPT ASIC's can hit the value end of things? Then all mining hardware could be used to develop and support CureCoin. Just a thought.

We have nothing useful for scrypt asics to do and it would effectively require a hard fork for nothing.


Asics secure network
GPUs fold


Scrypt Asics would be worse at securing the network especially because their are a lot less.
Scrypt Asics can't fold.

No no, scrypt asics could mine at a MultiPool, like BlackCoin's or CinniCoin's multipool. Basically they would mine Scrypt Based altcoins, and the multipool would automatically trade them for CureCoins. It's a proven technique that allows Scrypt miners to apply buy pressure to coins that are otherwise unobtainable for them.

It wouldn't require any change to the wallet or network. The Scrypt Miners literally just buy coins in exchange for their hashpower.

Buy pressure created by these pools is almost none.... I think BCpool last time I looks was creating 7BTC of buy pressure... That is nothing. Those multipools are basically hype machines for people that do not do the math. Sounds like it would work though.



Totally agree. First of all these pools are always associated with sh*tcoins that are desperately looking to create some hype/ fake demand.
Copying an idea for the tenth time just doesnt work anyway. You need to be ahead of the curve just like this coin is to create some value  Cool



Can anyone elaborate on a few technical aspects of the coin ?

# If there is no hard cap for the coins how was the 5% premine done ? 5% of ∞ is ? Huh
# How does the " Network balancing" mentioned in the OP work ? How does an increase in SHA256 difficulty affect folders ?

Ok, fact that the coins for the folders were all premined doesnt look so good Undecided  I wonder why couldnt that just be divided between the miners and folders as the coins are minted ?
So essentially one person is in control of ~80% of the coins ? Paying folders is done manually ?
What happens if the developer dies in a plane crash etc and takes the private keys with him ?


Just trying to get some clarity here.

After long time of waiting my first payment is arrived.
0.270088 CUR for Valid: 3822
Now I a at 70K points so I expected around to get 5 CURE for this in total now.
Curecoin is a good coin!

I completely agree about not copying the idea with under the false premise to boost value of the coin. It could have some limited effect, but MultiPools aren't going to raise the value of this coin - eventhough that's the tired stereotype that's been attached to the idea. Rather, I propose a MultiPool for an entirely different purpose: it's ability to include mining hardware that would otherwise be excluded from participating in the CureCoin project: namely Scrypt ASIC's.

Anyway, I'm just tossing the idea out. It's nothing the dev's need worry about, but if the community takes hold of it it might be a good idea. Who knows? I just thought I'd throw it out there.

I guess what you're trying to say is,

SHA256 ASICs - Keep the blockchain going
GPUs - Folding the proteins
Scrypt ASICs - Multi-pool for earning curecoins

It sounds good, but we would have to remind miners it would be better to fold on their GPUs compared to mining scrypt on a multi-pool which they may direct to as they might not understand what is folding.

Exactly. I was just trying to think of a way to include Scrypt ASIC's in this project, because I do believe it is a big exciting thing that everyone is going to want to be a part of. I also think that's been part of the CureCoin message from the beginning, they welcomed ASIC's, GPU's and CPU's, and made them all relevant to the project. Scrypt ASIC's are sort of a redheaded stepchild though, so making up some way for them to contribute would be awesome. I honestly don't think the buy pressure from a multipool is going to make a tremendous difference to the price, but it WOULD allow people that recently invested heavily into Scrypt ASIC's and become excited about the project the ability to mine CureCoins by proxy and support the project that way. GPUs should only be used for folding, and that should be made absolutely clear.

I do not dislike the idea. But something like that has to come from within the community. Doubt the devs have time to make such a thin seeing as their are keepin quite busy maintaining and tech supporting current flow of things... (Have to account for both the mining as well as the folding part of things.. ) Where as cinni, blackcoin or mint for that matter might have had more time after the inital pow stage.

However, if you know someone with capability's to make such a thing possible. I would certainly propose it to the devs, maybe get their blessings.. And ofc invite all your scrypt asic buddy's to join the cause! Smiley (also r3 and blackout make some valid points...but in total no one seems against it at least =))

This looks very interesting. I have a pretty powerful gaming PC that I will use for folding. I've tested it for about 5 minutes, it showed me a rough 100k points per day. How much coins would this roughly equal?


Before I start using it 24/7 I will need to put some new cooling paste on the CPU, it is hitting 90c+ degrees...lol.


Thanks

100,000 / 120,000,000 points * 7488 =
6.24 coins/day
 
Price = 0.005 BTC/day = 0.0312 BTC / day

$13.80 / day

EDIT: What do you have for hardware? Not sure what you consider pretty powerful but a system with a single 7870/7950/270/280 should get 100k PPD. You should be able to get a lot more than that if you have something like crossfire 290Xs or whatever.

I've been running into a lot of hung work units.  The work unit will hit the end and just sit there forever at 99.99% with 3 seconds remaining.  I've done a bit of looking around and from what I've seen so far they say look for connection errors in the logs.  So far I haven't seen any but I have these hung work units on several computers.  I'm not sure how to resolve them but they certainly are hurting my production.

About the only thing I've been able to do so far is restart the computer without stopping the work unit first.  That seems to knock it back to a previous checkpoint and then it will process about 50% of the time after it redoes the work again which can take hours.

If I stop the work unit prior to rebooting it just sits are 99.99% again.  There must be an easier way to get around these.  Has anyone else been experiencing this?


I can confirm that this is a overclocking issue !
You can read about my experience on the few last pages. My Gpu's have always been rock solid with every coin but I had to down clock them to avoid the 99.99% problem.

Here's what I found from the folding forum:

The usual reason for this occurring is a GPU reset, check the Windows logs for this happening around the time the WU stopped progressing in the folding log. The cause can be an overclocked GPU that is not stable for folding or a driver crash.

Another action that will do this is sleeping or hibernating the system with a GPU WU active. The OS will reload regular RAM from where it is saved on disc for processes running on the CPU, but does not do that for GPU processing. A newer version of the GPU folding core is under test that is intended to detect that change in state and restart at the previous checkpoint, but has not yet been released to general use.

 

FYI the 99% thing is purely a cosmetic symptom while the client starts up, or shuts down. Sometimes it takes a little bit for the GUI to sync with the work unit. This is especially true with the above mentioned circumstances.


Thanks for the info!  I also saw your situation where you have two computers with identical hardware and one is running at essentially half the speed of the other.  I've got the same situation and I'm rebuilding that machine right now.  I suspect it also has to do with GPU's in that machine.  But it has been hard reset many times while mining so I thought I would start fresh.  I suspect the cards in that machine will actually need to be toned down a bit more than the others.





Yeah, I am still combating with the only 50% of PPD shown symptom. Checking the logs I found out that the PPD figure shown in the client is actually inaccurate ! I was getting twice as many points for my WU's than the GUI estimated. Looking at how much time the WU took and how many points it gave me I did the math and my actual PPD for each card was ~120K as it should be despite the client showing 55K  Roll Eyes  So it's only a cosmetical thing but I would like to get it fixed for a better overview Tongue
