If this is not released here, it will be there, go ahead an bookmark it. Since im aiming for fair.. i should probably post on both sites at exactly the same time.

That folding forum is one of many that im considering for official release. Better option yet would be to put it on multiple university forums, and bitcointalk.org, at the same time.

As you can see by this point, and above posts... I intend to make this launch as fair as possible for everyone who wants to contribute.

One last point before i go back to actually making this happen.

People are worried about drug companies making money.... please read these previous posts of mine




as you can see these questions have been addressed before. please search b4 you ask.

the post about this creating biotech weapons, LOL.

 i understand being paranoid.... especially about evil government conspiracy stuff.

 There are copies of all the protein structures available on many different research sites,u can cross reference them if you are really paranoid. They even include the work unit id you are assigned, so you can go search for the project you computed.

these come with a detailed description of exactly what the project is researching.

please go look for yourself.

Where is the university forum you are talking about? I would like to read more about this. Don't worry I am not greedy, and even if I was I only have about 1200 Kh/s hashing power. 

this guy i like, you called it. yes, that is the goal for tuning the amount of coins received. payout based on quality of hardware. the folding forums are already full of all the info i need to adjust this ratio.

i cant think of a fairer way to payout.

Im sure someone is crying at the thought of nvidia getting an equal payout per cost of hardware, after spending all the money on ati. but not to fear.. i said EQUAL PAY. if you spent 1000$ on ati you will get the same return as someone with $1000 worth of nvidia. ITS CALLED FAIR  

Edit - obviously this system cant be 100% perfect due to all the variations of card builds. nothing is perfect though.


no, it will be fair.

yes i know, thank you for bringing it up. there is over 100 research networks open to the public, besides bionc and @home. I encourage anyone to look around and try them.
This is a good post because people do need to be reminded that if you dont want to cure cancer, you can go look for aliens (SETI) or search for prime numbers(multiple projects like this). both of those are ones i find interesting. probably not as useful as curing diseases though.

Think of it think way, if you put all your time into SETI, and we make contact with aliens and invite them over for lunch... it could take 200 earth years or more for the aliens to travel here. you wont live long enough to meet them unless our medical technology is advanced.

There's always a cure for cancer, just throw as much money as you can at it and it'll be curable.

This might sound a bit harsh too.

This is exactly the type of greed i intend to avoid.

So... youre saying if YOU dont get it released on YOUR favorite site, then its a premine because they saw it first? how fast is you hashing power and how badly do you want to rape the curecoin?

Also, why are you so afraid of logging onto a university forum? Not enough pump in dump scammers there for you to feel comfortable?

Sorry, this is going to be launched in a fair manner. If you dont like it because its not your easy pump n dump your used to, then dont mine, dont fold, and dont bother me, because all the greed flowing on this site is what will make me release this OPENLY and PUBLICLY on a university forum.(yea, there is a world outside this forum, maybe you should spend as much time on university forums as you do here)

Next person that suggests how they want this to happen for reasons of their own greed will be the one who makes it so bitcointalk is the last place to hear about it. You obviously dont care in the slightest about helping advance our world, but rather it seems you would like to stick to first come first to get served rich and everyone esle is fucked. this will be one of only a few slam posts im going to respond to. i have some god damn coding to do and its hard to concentrate when i know people are itching to pump n dump my coin.

Here is something for you... if this is released in a university, it wont take long anyways b4 you hear about it. MORE IMPORTANTLY, this will give REAL BUSINESS PEOPLE who are opening businesses all over the world, a taste of crypto currency. When that happens, you might actually be able to go spend you crypto at a business instead of just the current, extremely limited marketplace 

Just face it, people will soon not let you make money from pump n dump, i think everyone here is learning that.

congrats, you just delayed the release because now i want to recalculate a better way to STOP PUMP N DUMP.

and i want a reply about your hashing power - id like to know just how badly you are planning on raping a coin designed to help to cure cancer

This is an awesome premise, I am going to subscribe to this thread in the hopes I can be on the bandwagon as soon as it releases. Also will this be SHA-256 or scrypt? Just wondered if all the jerks will be able to screw up the network like they do with every other SHA-256 alt coin.

You know that would not be a bad idea merging like that. Have the ATI do a majority of the mining while the Nvidia does the majority of the folding. Both would be doing the thing that the other half just flat out sucks at ( yes ATI just sucks folding as nvidia just sucks for mining )

IMO, there has been a cry for something more original here in the alt coin world besides just a simple recode. I do really think that this is something that could get some great intrests. As I said before this really could be a great first step on getting the nvidia side involved in the community. I would have left the community the first 2 days if it was not for jumping on some easier alt coins, but once the dif hits around 1.xxxx its almost not even worth the effort to search for a pool let alone set up the cuda launch.

An idea for how the "share" would be figured for nvidia is something like the amount of points you submit. Proof of work would be rather easy to prove because Stanford will either accept the work as finished or not... and it will only credit the work if it is done. SO that part is already done, its just getting it tied into the mining aspect of a pool so the shares could be divided kinda like they are now, except that it would be in the form of points instead.


This would also get the CPU aspect back into it because you can gain some good PPD from CPU folding too.

What it sounds like to me is there are two parts to this coin.  Both parts are necessary.  The ATI cards to handle the actual coin side of things like Bitcoin/Litecoin and nVidia for the actual cure.

If I was devising this I would do a scale based with ATI on one side and nVidia on the other.  nVidia since it's rarer in the coin community would be paid more than ATI since they are in abundance. But as more nVidia cards come online then the scale evens out.

Have no clue what the OP is going to do but to me that would encourage more nVidia cards to hop on the band wagon and lower the number of ATI farmers from hopping on too quickly.

EDIT: Just thought of this, it may not be that way at all.  Since folding isn't dependent on the CPU or GPU it could be if your nVidia you work on the cure only, while some ATI work on the coin and others work on the cure as well.

Just so you know Folding@Home is a project at Stanford.  There are other projects doing similar things.  A client for Folding is developed by Berkeley called BOINC.

Some of your questions may be answered here about the folding side of things:

To heck with that. From the start Nvidia has been next to useless for mining... now is a chance for them to get in on the game.

Look at it this way, it would be a great way to introduce the "other side" into cryptos minus the big handycap. Now us nividias can actually do something worthwhile with some reward. Time has come because personally, I am sick of seeing some 2 or 4 year old ATI card own my nvidia cards in mining.

GO ahead call me selfish, heck ati have plenty of other options out there... go use them instead.

Oh Noez!  Quick, somebody find a cure using distributed semianonymous virtual currency!

I told him not to make his own but he was too cheap to buy mine.   

*dodges Grandpa Smurf's purple-blue eye lasers*

Not to mention it transforms you in this type of superhuman:

So would you turn the parameters somehow so that rewards reaped by nvidia cards of certain price ranges which use the folding method reflect the value  of respective ATI cards in that price range? The way you explain it, once your coin hits, I certainly would want to do folding rather than the regular hashing but I would need nvidia cards first.

Or are the nvidia people going to be the good samaritans earning very few but doing the actual "curing" while the ati guys rake off the profits as usual?

Colloidal silver cures cancer, marijuana is a scam.  

But seriously, thanks for pointing out the Nooshare paper - that's a good one!

I thought of a better name too: MediCoin.  The post about the caduceus gave me idea!

"Hello I'd like to buy some internet pr0ns plz."

"OK that will be one Medicoin."

"Fine, here you go!  Oh look, I cured cancer!"

Great news! I'm in!

This sounds awesome.  I will definitely be supporting this.

This is a coin that I think most people can get behind and support- from all cryptocoin sectors... no matter whether you're a bitcoiner, litecoiner, ppccoiner, terracoiner, feathercoiner, whatevercoiner.

If you succeed with the implementation that you have described, I will certainly support this coin.

Excited to see the implementation, sounds like tons of fun!
