Topic: [ANN] FoldingCoin - MINE FOR MEDICINE- PHASE 2.0 - page 87. (Read 473653 times)

Hi,

I'm Adrien, I'm the co-founder of Masterxchange.com.

As some of you know, we are still stuck on XCP withdrawals because of some issues with their newest software version.
Sadly the situation has been almost the same for a month: we install their software, it crashes at some point, the devs help us "fix" it, the fix doesn't work, rince and repeat.

At this point we have a "working" version of XCP installed but the computer (which is more than decent) is slow as hell when it runs and a simple payment attempt hangs forever.
We are trying to hack around using a script issued by the dev team but at this point we're not confident at all in anything they provide.

We are still holding the private key that controls https://www.blockscan.com/address/1XCPvihttZTyc1uJf3tx4ht9RLsajwxhH

As you can see we were able to issue a single payment 2 days ago but the software is hanging whenever we want to issue another one.

We know this situation sucks, we have already lost a whole month on the issue and it is still not resolved. It is a huge hit for us in terms of confidence from our users and in terms of development and morale.
We never earned anything substantial with XCP or XCP assets and we've already waste enough time to develop a couple of cool features because of it.

TLDR: XCP is a messy pile of shit, we do have the coins but we are still unable to send them, we are working exclusively on resolving this and we are sorry for everybody that have coins stuck.

They have an issue with counterparty implementation, so it is not really something Foldingcoin can directly help with. I will ask the exchange to make a statement here about the progress and security of coins.

looking forward to hearing about the new token announcement today.  


edit:

Whats up with today's payment? Getting alot of the same transaction but none that gets confirmed.

I have 1 million fldc on masterxchange, but I can not widthdraw to another wallet. They said they are solving problem with counterpartyd tool, they don't know deadline to finish. FoldingCoin, can you help them?

We are very excited to. This will allow us to merge multiple wallets and donor names that people have used in the past. So that way if someone wants to change to the _ALL_ command, they can do so with keeping their user name and stats together. This will obviously only be on our page, but thats still better than having then seperated like hey are in the stanford stats

Excited to see the upcoming stats page

@weex is correct, also we have the full Merged Folding Page up now with all details needed http://foldingcoin.net/alttokens/ It will be in the naigation bar soon

Will the old address system still work after 5/2? And will it keep paying out in FLDC or will I be getting a mix of tokens?

It would be fantastic Imagine if we could even double the network at FAH? Then we can really see if their work is getting anywhere

Some people have found ways to cure cancer taking a very different approach. I have a feeling these algorithms actually help create more drugs to battle cancer. This approach may never work is all I'm saying but if it does, that would be so epic.

True, cancer inst cured yet, but it require a lot more to cure cancer than your toilet

If you skim through those papers, even without a medical understanding, they are very well written and have a clear message on what the folding has done. Though cancer istn cured, this research and these papers help to get us there. Here's a good quote that is relevant:

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
-Thomas Edison

I only trust my plumber after he has completed the job and the plumbing works. I guess I will just have to believe I am helping to cure cancer if I decide to mine.. but maybe the approach is wrong and will never work. Anyway it is much better than all the other coins calculating useless algorithms. These algorithms might be useful one day.

Absolutely, I have been asked this many times. First off the pure data is provided by Stanford upon request by any certified medical researcher as FAH is a non profit. But Stanford itself also writes medical papers on the results which can be found here http://folding.stanford.edu/home/papers

Now many people say "I cant read those papers, so how do i know they are legit?" and here is my response to that:

You trust a plumber to do the right thing in the correct manner when he comes to your house. You cant possibly know if he is doing the right thing as plumbing would not be a profession of yours. The way you can find out if he is doing the right work would possible be through word of mouth and other customer reviews.

The papers that are in that link I am not going to lie to you, are way over my head. I do not fully understand what is being done, I just know the 101 version like many of you. We have talked with some other bio chemists about the work and they think its great and they approve. But unless you understand the papers in the link, it would be unfair to say that FAH isnt doing anything.... Think of them as your plumber

And like the plumber, we would need to use a source comparable to "Angies list" for other people to tell us about how they do, not what they do precisely. Here https://folding.stanford.edu/home/awards/ is a list of awards that they have on their website that they have achieved from  respectable organizations but the one I can recognize is found here http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2014/11/24/nvidia-foundation-awards-400000-to-two-teams-pioneering-cancer-research/ its an award from Nvidia.

Now Nvidia is up my alley, they trust that FAH is doing good work so therefor I trust their judgement. Communities relay on other peoples professions and the trust that we must put into them. As a data specialists I once told a customer not to run a data line on his own at 400 feet as signal will be dropped and data can only go 300 feet on cat 5e. I told him he needs a repeater or fiber. He didn't listen, he thought it was just like cat 3 (he was an old school pre-cat 5 phone guy) and it could go 1000 feet. Sure enough I was out there 3 weeks later installing an second cabinet for networking equipment.

Moral of the story, its good to do due diligent on things you are looking to support, but trust the good sources and take their word for it.

Hi, very interesting idea to use mining power for useful computations. My only worry is are these computations useful? I mean you tell us we are "helping" to cure cancer. Is there any evidence of that? can we see the output of our calculations or something?

thanks

We will be announcing a higher profile token that will become part of the Merged Folding family on Monday, we are really excited for this Dont sell out yet, with this announcement it should help increase the price again on Poloniex

Sell while you can, slow bleedout incoming.
Price always launches high on exchanges, but wait a few weeks for it to stabilize

Bitcointalk is back!!!! It was a sad day today learning about the disk failures, but it seems like most everything is still here. Please everyone let me know if you have notcied any posts missing, thanks and good job folding!

Read the above comment first then:

For now, you can look at our distribution page http://foldingcoin.net/distribution/ and it has the daily breakdown of how many FLDC per credit.

Today was abour 0.033 FLDC per FAH credits, so that would be about 7.92 FLDC

This is something that we could develop now that we are on a bigger exchange. Let me look more into this with our lead dev James and we can start making plans. We already have a lot on our plates, but this might be something easily done for a simply one on our website. I know in the new code, we will have the FLDC per FAH credits earned on a day to day basis, we should just have to extract that imformation and put it on a calculator for users to enter the FAH credits they get a day

i am a member from polo n started folding !

jus want to know how many fldc i get for 240 points.. roughly
