Yes, an nVidia GTX 560Ti + a 6-core i7, both doing approximately equally well and beating the AMD cards to the ground. Smiley

Wow, you must be another nvidia owner? this is quite to race!!!! Grats , for a second i didnt think anyone was gonna be able to do it, but this is exactly what i wanted to see. Fun competition that might just help people out some day.

The great thing about team "Cryptocoin Network" ---

You get paid long before the research even gets to the drug companies !! How does it feel to be getting paid long b4 Pfizer gets their greasy little hands on the formula you are helping to create Cool

This is so great, score 1 for the people, score 0 for the drug companies Grin

Edit - screw u Pfizer corp, dont be creeping on my thread

It's been almost a year since I last folded...

1 overclocked GForce GTX560Ti (est. 31500 PPD) and 1 overclocked 12-threaded 4.2GHz i7 CPU (est. 46300 PPD) are pointed to the team.
The nVidia card is my primary display adapter and was used for some supplemental Bitcoin mining @98MHs, which is not really great any more. Tried it with scrypt, but cgminer keeps crashing.
The CPU is really good for LTC scrypt, giving me 80Khs, so I'll only run it against F@H for only one WU.

I was trying their latest clinet - 7.3.6, but had to downgrade to my previously-installed 7.1.52. The latest client has a nasty feature, called Web-interface. As soon as you launch the client, it will fire up FireFox and that in turn causes the clocks on my primary adapter to drop from 1000MHz to the safe 800MHZ and locks it there. Closing Firefox does not allow me to set the clock back up, so the only option was to reboot. I was only able to avoid GPU clock drop if I was fast and closed FireFox before it completely launched, and then right-clicked the FAH icon in the tray and chose Advanced view.

EDIT: Upgraded back to 7.3.6 and disabled HW acceleration for Flash in FireFox.

EDIT 2: There is something wrong with the new client. As soon as it starts computing the WU, GPU core clock drops to 405MHz, even when no overclocking is previously applied, and can only be budged from there by a reboot. At which point the client forgets that it should be using GPU with id 2, and reverts to -1 setting, picking one of my AMD cards mining for LTC. Once I force-set the GPU to id 2, it reinitialises WU, losing previous progress.  Cry I think I am giving up on F@H after I am done with that CPU WU.

By the way, here is a nice place to watch the team and member stats:

Sounds like fun. My bonus points for folding finally kicked in. I think I will keep 4 cores on this for a while yet. I'll be changing my signature shortly to include addresses for altcoins.

Mokahless was #5 person to get First 5 to 2000 point bounty.

Please send me you feathercoin address for your bounty.

The race is underway to claim 100 Freicoins + 5 FTC for being #1 on the list. Many more races and bonuses to come.

This thread was meant to promote the alt coin "Curecoin" (and all crypto coins for that matter) - So for now Id like to keep in in the alt crypto forum, but if a mod feels it more appropriate to move to a differnet section then thats fine. too.

Sending out some random bounties right now. Reminder: anyone with one work unit done can get a tiny 1 freicoin sign up bonus, just send me your Freicoin address.

MashRinx , you have not collected your 5 Feathercoin bounty for making First 5 to 2000+ points, just shoot me a message if you want it.

At this rate it wont take very long to climb that ranks. We could use a few more people to point even just 1 card or 1 cpu at the project. you can even donate as little as 25% usage of on CPU, which should not effect your mining at all

Note to all on the team, If i dont have your freicoin address yet please send a message or post your address so i can include you in sign up and random bonuses.

Even with just a few people we are doing awesome for a brand new folding team.

New Bounty:  Pass BrewCrewFan in stat points, and hold lead postion on team.  Shocked

BrewCrewFan is smoking everyone in points. Can you handle the challenge? Or is your rig too small  Tongue

Bounty reward is 100 Freicoins + 5 FTC + title of MVP on team Cryptocoin. Bounty expires in 5 days.

If no one passes him the coins will be awarded to BrewCrewFan for defending his title.

Sorry for reading this quickly. Is this automated or manually distributed coins?

Hopefully the foundation as it forms at FRC can come here observe and hopefully if there was some sort of client or app that could be open source and forked from Github more people could become "faucets" or if you can set this up more as a P2P set up then there would be no need to have one person or group doing the distributions.

I will be putting some the PC at home into this. Thanks for this!

I WANT TO CURE CANCER IN THE NAME OF FREICOIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure how to join the team but I put in the team number on the client page.

I just joined your discussion group on freincoin.org tonight. Im impressed with the freicoin community and their initiative to help make this all happen.

Right now this is all manual payout. Ive been refreshing the team page constantly and watching points roll in for team "Cryptocoin Network". Only refreshing it so much for my own entertainment of the growing team. The stats pages give me enough info to give proper payouts. As of now to claim bounties you can either message me or post your coin address here with the bounty you are claiming. Unless you have your coin address in your signature, and use same name here on forum as on folding network. Then there is no need to request, you will get your payment once i see your name hit a current bounty.

The teams with titles of "Bitcoin" and Bitcoin Killers" that i mentioned in the first post.... we have already passed them by a huge margin. With a little more participation, and a few more rewards / bounties, i think we can blow away team "Intel". It wont happen overnight, but it could if everyone pointed their miners to folding for a few days.... after that we go in for the kill and top the charts and beat team "overclockers.net" and "www.overclockers.com"

Maybe im being over optimistic. Maybe im not. The math of the bitcoin network speed vs the entire folding@home network speaks for itself.

"You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one"

Time for me to finalize the next round of bounties. Within a week i will release a new set of bounties. Ill be reaching out to others who want to donate or personally sponsor bounties.

Id love to see someone with some bitcoins to spare, stop and take a look at this, and post a bounty of 5 BTC to be the first member of team "Cryptocoin Network" to reach 10,000,000 points

Perhaps a bounty of 1 btc to hit 1,000,000 points.

Soon we will have a good idea of proper reward amounts, so check back in a week if your not ready to sponsor a bounty just yet.

Either way this would create a great race of many gpus pushing our team to the top. This could create much positive media hype that will make your BTC value increase, so you investment will be well worth it.

Many thanks to everyone folding right now, and to everyone who has expressed support to the eventual creation of a widely acceptable, profitable, and fun "Paid to Research System".

Small additional bonus bounty - Community based bounty
Tomorrow morning if there is a total of 20 or more people in the team with minimum 1 work unit done, all of you will have the option to claim a portion of 60 Freicoins. Bonus will be given out as 60 coins / 20 people equals 3 FRC each. If there is 30 people with a completed work unit, ill split 60 / 30 and everyone will receive 2 FRC. tomorrow morning for me is about 12 hours away. This means, encourage your friends to fold atleast one WU.

Edit - The race to be the first 5 to get 2000+ points is still open with one spot left. Someone is really close to the last spot but anything can happen !

Awesome! sent you a message. If you would like to choose the next bounty go ahead and post it.

The next bounties i had in mind are designed to get people dedicated to showing the folding network what the "Cryptocoin Network" can do in terms of quick results due to the custom rigs lots of miners use.

The first bounties were easy... maybe too easy lol. well worth it though, im sure someone had fun racing to spot #1.

Next bounty might be something like first person to 100k points gets 100 coins, and every person to hit 100k after that gets 50.

im still trying to measure the time one puts in to get the points compared to the time it takes to mine coins with the same hardware.

This is a great chance for Nvidia owners to get crypto prizes.  calling all nvidia miners... try out folding .. your speed will boost the team a lot!

Someone with 4x nvidia card could hit 100k easy.

Next round of bonuses coming out - Friecoins + PPC and TRC !


I'm in with 250 FRC as a simple addition to your bonus scheme.

Just give me your FRC address, and I'll just send them to be dispensed together with yours.

has anyone else yet tried getting any results about mining and folding at the same time. On amd cards this works great. if someone else could confirm mining and folding with out much lost speed in mining i think more people would give it a shot.

Edit:
I take that back... I am sure there are flags to play around with but the hash rate is all over... my max was usually 125khash.... but with both running we are seeing it jump all over.... that and F@H takes a huge hit as well.

Ive noticed weird calculations with my amd card compared to nvidia. the nvidia is constant for folding. The amd jumps all over on speed estimate even when im not mining... i keep retesting it must have done it 20x times now. What looks like a hit to folding power i think might just be the software needing a little more coding to make amd estimates accurate. Even when my PPD dips down to 300 instead of 4k, the progress bar still moves at the same rate. The overall time the WU takes also seems to stick with the time it estimates when its displays full speed. Ill be fiddling with this a lot more.

Yeah I am not sure on a lot of stuff yet because I been out of the game for a few years.
Odd that you would need to move it to full in order to get it to start on the GPU... of course I am sure there are flags to lessen the intensity of F@H in order to make room for other activities on the GPU...
My computer really does not lag all the much with F@H...

Ill PM you my FC addy too.
