Topic: [ANN] CureCoin 2.0 is live - Mandatory Update is available now - DEC 2018 - page 60. (Read 696267 times)

Thanks! Its true! Curecoin is now the 3rd most contributed team on the largest research DCN in the world. We are coming up on rank #2 so fast that if we pass them at this difference in speed I am honestly going to feel pretty bad for them, they have done some serious folding for many years!

Congrats to everyone that has every folded with team Curecoin! In a matter of less than 3 years we have hit rank 3. A lot of people on other folding teams thought Curecoin was just going to fade away and they would not have to worry about their titles when we showed up on the scene. To say the least they spent some time eating their words. Its all good though, they are hard working fellow folding teams, they are cool... Team Curecoin is just a little cooler now though  

I guess merge folding just turned into the most profitable gpu use since the ETH price explosion is the consensus. I can live with that. It should drive up some research numbers while creating a budget to improve Curecoin currency itself.

Fold for Curecoins and rock science with us, we have cookies and you will get your $$$ curecoins too, and #FKcancer  

Indeed.

Im currently pushing ~1.2 million PPD on my new merge folding name, and ~700k on another name.  Still have a couple more 980s to fire up and a couple cards to repair. This will be a good winter for folding and keeping the house warm. I see some new guys have joined that have a lot more than that. Welcome to the team everyone!

Looks like we might have had a few rigs come over from EVGA.

We are in exciting times 😊

Curecoin team is #1 in terms of PPD!!! 

Yes it uses the SHA-256 algo, so you mine it just like you would bitcoin. There are a few pools listed on the website here:

Not a whole lot of support over at the curecoin forum on their website.  I am trying to mine it with a gridseed orb that I've used for scrypt, and someone is suggesting that I need to set it to sha256 and then the conversation died.  Is there a better place to discuss mining this coin?

I think that for the moment they do the distribution by hand which explains why they switched from daily to weekly to monthly.
But it might go back to shorter period as they are working on a new distribution server.
 

 Cure payouts haven't been a problem. But there's more to it than that on FDLC.
 Just tried a new setup about a week ago though, will have to see how that works.

 Once a month payouts though are a sad joke. That sort of thing makes me wonder how long FDLC will even exist.

 

Pretty sure you just have to have "_FLDC_" or "_ALL_" at the end of your F@H username, and the FLDC and other XCP payouts happen automatically at the end of each month. I can't say for sure because I only changed my username this month so I haven't had a payout yet.

To get your cure payouts, as I'm sure you should already know, make sure your cryptobullionpools.com username matches your F@H username and you are folding for team 224497.

If I could ever get the merged folding stuff to WORK, I probably would move the 9xx rigs over.
I've been TRYING to get it to work for months not, and NOTHING to date.

I was aware the number of FLDC was higher, just have no clue about the relative income from each at this point.

I couldn't have said it better!

Thanks to confirm what I said above! 



While FLDC has lower value than CURE, you need to take into account that you get way more FLDC than CURE per folding day so at the end of the day you earn about as much value (in $) per day with both cryptos. And the good news is that you don't need to choose between the two. With merged folding you can earn both at the same time and therefore double your daily income. I don't think I'm too far from reality saying that merged folding is now the most profitable way to use GPUs. So, if I were you I'd switch all my 9xx rigs to merged folding...

And I'd keep my cryptos because with CURE 2.0 + SigmaX released (+/-)soon and the future reward halving of FLDC both are going to rise...



Well, if all GPU mining guys would get to know that merged folding is now more profitable than mining, we'll quickly beat EVGA. So spread the word guys and let's give F@H more computing power than they ever dreamed of!

And we're well on the way to catching HardOCP for 2'nd.

 EVGA, unfortunately, seems likely to hold on to #1 for the forseeable future - though if Curecoin price stays where it's at or climbs some more that might EVENTUALLY change.

Gratz!!! 

 Seems to be rather a bit of that happening the last week, after the big price spike - I know *I* switched all my 1070-based rigs over from Ethereum mining - sadly the older 9xx rigs are still making quite a bit more on ETH than on CURE and I can't afford to swap them over at this point.
 Do note that the large jump in users DIRECTLY correlates to when the price of Curecoin spiked - I for one have never seen whatever that video is that was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I DEFINITELY track Curecoin pricing and relative profitablility.


 Now if I could just get foldcoin working TOO (for what it's worth)....


 400k ppd for a little under 150 watts sounds like the AMD 480 - folding STILL does better on NVidia gear as my 1070s do quite a bit more PPD for a little under 150 watts per card, though the RX 480 seems to have closed the gap A LITTLE. I don't have any 1060, 1080, or Titan X Pascal rigs (much less any of those insane TESLA Pascal pieces) to compare on those.


 No, I don't have a warehouse full of GPUs, though sometimes I wonder about PS3Ed.....

Looks like the stats server is back up now.

Just to give a quick update, some Pande Labs servers are being updated right now. Work units and points are still being counted on the back end. When the updates are complete (should be any hour now) we will payout the accordingly to the accumulated stats.

As far as the recent talk about the smaller computer vs the GPU farm...

If you are going for the gusto than folding can be a lot of work, just like mining of any coin for example. There is competition for all these coins including curecoin. So people will use leading edge cards that say for folding@home produce 400k + ppd and use well under 150 watts while folding.

On the other hand, folding can be something you do for both fun and the contribution to science. I usually do not cpu fold much but recently fired up the NACL client through google chrome to fold in order to see how my laptop could handle it. Amazingly the cpu could complete an nacl work unit in 9 minutes on full and about 30 -40 minutes on half power , over an hour on min power ( at which point the temp of the CPU did not even rise from idle temps). Thats pretty good for a laptop+ folding. I ended up running it on medium and left it going for the a while. In the meantime I have a shelf with currently 4 mobo's , lots of cooling, custom ordered open air cases, and a kvm switch with a small desk to run it all. I'm in the process of upgrading it since folding looks like it could be profitable for a while so this is the best chance to be able to fold more while having the system pay for itself , and hopefully some extra.

The point to take home.. A lot of people do crypto mining / folding as a hobby. A lot do it seriously and build large farms that they update when more efficient equipment comes out. Like was mentioned you have to be realistic about the risk you are willing to take if you want to make any major gains of crypto and most things for that matter. When I first got into crypto I was pretty excited running my one GPU to mine bitcoin. Did I make much? not really.. I think I sent most of it to satoshi dice because it was not worth much then

Anways-
We are using this chance to implement some upgrades on our end to make cryptobullionpools easier to use. So if the site is offline for a moment hold tight, she'll be right back 

You can set the folding@home client to use ur pc only when its inactive (kind of like how the screen saver turns on when the computer isnt being used). Also u need to be realistic about how much u can make off a single desktop with a low end or dated gpu. Finally if there is profit to be made u can bet ur left sock that someone has crunched the numbers and filled a warehouse with gpu's to exploit that fact.
