Really impressed with the coin. Is there a way to automate the distribution? What happens when you don't have the time to continuing distributing new coins or lose interest?

if projects in this forum deserve some good attention, FLDC is certainly one of them.
one of the best with helping mankind
almost 1 billion folding@home points is already a great help to Stanford and to scientific research.

Agreed. If more people would get involved with FAH that used to be miners, than FAH would blow up just like alt coin mining did, alt coin mining power overpowers the FAH network by about 17x, imagine if that energy was used for FAH or BOINC....

Hopefully FLDC can help bring more adoption

won't it collapse Stanford servers ? Smiley
LOL!!! I sure hope not, but if so, then they must accommodate for the massive power!!!

I know that was a joke but for those that dont understand, In reality, the files from FAH that house the folds are downloaded to the Folding machines, then are crunched by the folding machines OFFLINE (yes you could technically fold offline) then once complete are sent back to Stanford (you need to be online once complete). So really stanford runs a file upload and download server.

Is there a basic WRITTEN how-to somewhere? Suitable for a cryptocurrency noob? I find video tutorials really hard to use for something like this. Maybe it's my eyesight, maybe it's my crappy monitor, maybe it's my brain. Hmmm. I'll blame the monitor.

on the beginning there was a nice non-video howto... don't know why it is removed from the website
FoldingCoin - you need to put it back/make one on the website, with nice big pictures of all the settings..

but basically you need a counterparty wallet address (can open counterparty wallet at http://counterwallet.io ) - make sure to remember the password, i also save the wallet's private key... just in case
next you need a folding@home client installation from Standford, if you are using GPU, you will work faster when deleting the CPU slots

then use your counterparty's bitcoin address as your folding@home username - in the folding@home client configuration
if you join the foldingcoin team in folding@home client, then you can just use the counterparty's bitcoin address
or you can use   yourname_FLDC_bitcoinaddress
for example PookTwo_FLDC_16muW9htJAYrrXrKN8BwWTmT6cgXscXDzJ

it is better to use folding@home client username configuration with a passkey - for bonus points, get a passkey from http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py
You are correct, I need to update the tutorials and how to pictures.

This is my first official day of being full time FLDC!!!!! I am supper excited to get started.

Today will be a lot of organizational related tasks dealing with the internal files that me and the devs use. Also fixing broken internet links. But tomorrow I will put focus on updating all the tutorial related items since they are a little outdated now. Please give me until Wednesday morning to get that completed.

But now that i am full time, I am going to be here all day so please feel free to ask anything of me and i will respond, thank you folders!

Counterparty trading is good if more people will use it... decentralized exchange. but only with XCP at the moment
traders/investors are usually buying in big exchanges, using BTC and LTC or others
I agree, having a decentralized exchange does limit the speed, but it makes up for it for not having another MtGox situation

need bigger exchange ... twitt polo/bittrex?

Crypto Trade is still working with me and the guys at counterparty, I will report once this gets done (I would assume since the holidays are upon us that everything is going slower).

As for poloniex, I would really love to get us on that exchange, however they have not been responsive. I have sent in 2 tickets about FoldingCoin getting into the vote and if i dont hear from them before the holidays, I will be sending out another request Jan 5th

Hashing algorithms are not involved in protein folding, and it is well known you can't use protein folding as a PoW system.
Can you elaborate please, I actually am not sure from that statement if you are against the idea of FLDC or not, but I would love to defend our case and try to show you the value of using Protein folding as a form of POW (obviously its not POW in the same manner that a traditional alt is)
Seems like a strange and only tangential statement to make in regards to FLDC. Of course, folding is not used in place of hashing (i.e. for security) here except to portion out the distribution of FLDC.
Well in a way hashing is done for FLDC, its just done by the BTC miners who are hashing the BTC blockchain since FLDC lives inside of BTC transactions. The folding calculations are stricktly for determining how many FLDC each folder is entitled to
