I'm still confused as to how curecoin will contribute to folding.  Will the algo be folding or what?

Good question! Basically, the algorithm would be scrypt and people would mine the coin normally, but the person who mines the coin only gets 45% of the coin, 45% goes to a pool that pays out coins to people doing folding work, and the other 10% works towards things like DDoS protection for the folding 'pool', NVidia hardware giveaways, etc. etc. Smiley

prepare for folding once again, deep inside the curecoin operation, code is being made beyond previous expactations  Grin

New folding pool will be here  http://cryptobullionpools.com/folding/  

New pool will be very secure, on a highly protected ddos proof server. This should be the last test run needed before Cygnus can launch curecoin.

In the mean time... please visit my pools and share some hashes to support our efforts... dont forget to try your luck on a physical coin block reward in my DGC or WDC pool

Peace all


added this to my pool thread... share with your friends plz

Different folding work units can exercise different parts of the graphics cards in different ways (memory, shaders etc.). Some units have gone down in folding history as causing previously overclocked but stable machines to overheat and shut down. As mentioned above many different work units use the same core, so you can't make any sensible predictions referring only to the core. The best parameter to note is the Project, but older Projects are finished and disappear and new ones are started. There is no way for you to limit which Projects and Work Units download to your machine.

The problem might be that your looking at folding like you do at Hashing.  They are totally separate things.  When hashing, your rate pretty much can stay stable from now til the end of time, because your doing small calculations over and over again.  It never differs.  In folding, sometimes a single fold will take 1-2 days, If your folding a 70k workload and it takes 0.75 of a day to finish it, your days will look like 75K / 150K / 75K / 150K.  If however you get put on a different project.  Say folding for a cancer cure as opposed to folding for a cure for Malaria, the calculations will be way different, and the time it takes to complete will vary dramatically as well.  The work units are set to pretty much equal out overtime.  so in the case of a 75K / 150K flip flop your avg is 112.5K per day

thanks for the explanation. another question, is folding really different from mining, because when I'm mining my GPU fan spins really loud, but when folding it doesn't make any sound. both shows 100% usage, and the temp is also lower when folding. both have the same OC, and I don't set any GPU related thing in my cgminer.

Mining produces quite a bit more heat.  I was quite surprised when I went from folding to mining.

Good explanation, I would also like to throw in that some cards are better at different types of calculations. Smiley

this is a good explantion, also more about this

beta units are notorious for uneven folding times - your best bet is advanced units or bigadvanced.

starting and stopping your client especially for longer periods of time will make your estimated PPD go down since the total ppd i do believe is collected by the quick turn in bonus, correct me if im wrong

today was the first day we ran the polished up version of the folding pay system. progress is being made. this is not a project that one can just throw together. I can tell you its gonna be worth the wait. while i can give no exact date yet its a lot closer than it was before this alpha pool test. ( if anyone noticed alpha pool payment was a little % off today its because the system went back 2 days worth of points the first time it was run, this was done intentionally, going forward it will should be 100% accurate again ) .

Sidenote - the plans for development have an underlying rule to the whole project, take the time and make it right   Wink

why is my hd 7970 goes up and down between 70k and 140k ?

AMD Cards seem to be particularly edgy to PPD, but NVidia cards have done it too. How many cores is that machine running?

Pool still up and going, team rank now 881

Well, after some days of folding all I can say it's not profitable even in the slightest at the moment. GLC is so cheap that you should pay much, much more to cover at least electricity bills.  We reached your magic 1200R, so why is the delay? Why sudden silence? When are you going to launch Curecoin?

Yeah, right now folding will cost you a bit of money. Not sure what the magic 1200 was for (better stats, I think?), but curecoin will come soon, I think cygn mentioned a few things he was still working on over at the curecoin.us forums.

I don't know why but my 7970s are doing the same. Unfortunately it's not stable 100K from beginning to end.

Come join the pool and learn how to fold before official curecoin is released  Grin

The CureCoin team is now out computing INTEL and PandeLabs!!!
Now's the time to hop in on this, guys. We're just getting started!

Curecoin points in the last 24 hours = 1,006,625
Intel Team points in the last 24      =    960,511

"Team Intel tries to compete, but has been stricken down by the Curecoin!!!"

Curecoin points so far today = 375,055
Pande Labs points so far today = 362,715

"Pande Labs is holding in the fight , but team Curecoin is not done yet!!!"


Curecoin
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=224497

Pande Labs
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=1

Intel
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=711

This is a great success. I'm going to have coffee with a potential investor to curecoin today. This person wishes to see this project happen and said he is willing to cover some start up expenses.  I plan on starting a fund raiser to cover the rest soon after Im done with this meeting.

The curecoin team is growing powerful in more ways than folding power, people are supporting the project more than ever.

Now lets keep kicking the pants off team Intel and Pande Labs  Cool

I didnt put it in the shortcut before. I was able to get it to 43k for the card by using an older graphics driver - 311 instead of 320. It just seems low since I'm getting 38k with the cpu.

Wow, what CPU are you crunching on? Cheesy
