FLDC August 2016 Community Update
(This is an excerpt from the blog post
HERE )
1. Spells of Genesis to begin distributions once again MAGICFLDC will be paid in full from the backlog that began March 9th
2. Distribution Calculator Developer FOUND! A developer will build the new GUI for the FLDC distribution calculator and server. He will:
- rewrap everything within a WordPress plugin.
- Include some basic stat calculations within the new distribution server. He is going to add total FLDC earned, total FAH credits and daily FAH points.
- He will have a prototype ready by August 16th and should finish the remaining new platform sometime in September
3. Monthly DistributionsDistributions will now take place on the first Sunday of each month following the public meeting.
- MAGICFLDC – 72,000,000 tokens among 445 Folders (Distribution backlog since 3/9/16, so this distribution is between the dates of 3/9-7/31)
- FLDC – 15,500,000 tokens among 244 Folders (Distribution dates 7/1-7/31)
4. Future MeetingsMonthly meetings will now be help on the first Saturday of each month at 17:00 UTC time (we are moving away from EST and EDT as cryptocurrency is global, not just in Indiana
). The next meeting can be found at the following links:

5. Final note by Founder Robert RossThe reception we got from this meeting has been wonderful! I am so happy to see so many people take a renewed interest in this project from our 2 really important updates we had this week. Although we have Merged Folding working again, and we have found a developer to complete the new distribution server, remember that we are extremely short staffed and we could really use your help in bringing us to that next level. I have not been full time on FoldingCoin for almost a year now. Jona and Helene have really stepped up this year in helping to keep FoldingCoin alive. We also have some other people working independently (such as “hou5e”) on their own things that will help FLDC. If we had just a few more volunteers to help us complete our mission, we can really help to get FAH a lot more computational power.
Its exciting to see the market on Poloniex today, and I am so happy for those holders out there of FoldingCoin, but keep these two things in mind:
- Trading is hard, and we don’t want to encourage anyone to pour money into FLDC upon some good news. In cryptocurrency we see this a lot so make sure you are being careful and not buying into hype/FUD. If you are new and have not heard of this coin until today’s volume, remember that you can earn FLDC by folding with CPU/GPU’s (this also helps build our network of Folders to contribute to the FAH project). If you would like to learn how to fold please visit this link and follow the steps.
- The entire mission of FLDC is to bring rewards to those that fold on the FAH platform. Always remember that our main mission is to bring more computational power to Stanfords Folding@home project (also known as FAH). By becoming a folder you are directly helping Stanford in their research for diseases.
