quick question -are you the fellow folding as penny something? There is a big folder out there that is not merge folding and they are missing out on ~2x profit...
To clear this up further, if you look at the amount of people that have switched to merge folding with FLDC + XCP assets there is definantly a drive for profit. The simple little calculator does not include the spells of genesis collection I earned or Scottcoins / powcoins / pepecash was a recent bonus etc etc... My spells of genesis collection alone has probably paid for months of my folding (if I sell this sweet dragon I got). Anyways on the other side of that there are some folders that would be folding less probably with their outdated equipment but would be folding even if curecoin did not exist. About 1 year ago Id say was when we had the highest amount of non profit seeking folders. By looking at the amount of merge folders though you can see the profit seeking is gaining popularity in folding (which was what we have been aiming for of course). -- Simple answer, its still mixed but more are seeking profits lately
No, I'm ComputerGenie with a few letters missing because of the addy limitations. I'm not one of the "big" folders (although in the top 400), just a single GTX1080; however, I do merge with the "ALL". Although FLDC and mixed bag of "junk" aren't much per month, it does add up over time.
My main income is running my ASICs, which are
far less profitable on Curecoin than folding is (and I'm guessing that's by design). That being said there's still profit to be made mining as well as folding (not Bill Gates size scratch, but profit is profit).
