Finally signed up here to comment on this coin launch due to a ton of opportunities not yet discussed that this coin could benefit us all by...  A higher premine may be warranted if specifically used for the purposes stated below..


Setup a foundation feature that pools a portion of block rewards to actual medical research (voted on by members) or help cover costs for medical course expenses paid by aspiring students (school or elected person). If a school/doctor were to be rewarded with funds from Cura and becomes a physician, they could be more willing to grow with the causes Cura promotes and may even provide the services discussed on the first post at reduced costs.

A portion of block rewards could be used to fund development of ipad or android based medical equipment (meaning they are the devices that communicate vitals to the remote doctor/nurse) that will allow doctors/nurses to provide remote checkups for impoverished villages, disease outbreaks, or places that are affected by natural disasters.

Portions of block rewards could be provided to farmers in select communities where produce is more scarce and obesity/diabetes rates are higher. These farmers can then provide discounts to local stores to keep product expenses lower. A Cura sticker on the produce can mark items the coin directly helped.

Hope some of these ideas can be discussed further as it creates a network effect beyond direct mining.  



good ideas.. we need to think on everything possible for the betterment of people in need and better future

Yeah good ideas, far from being implemented yet tho Smiley I think with that niche this coin will gain a nice value and we people can use that to do good things for the world too !
All that is needed is community to accept and promote it and adoption will come Smiley

I'll keep my eye on this one,

BTW i'm also a member of SDN and a PGY1

Glad to hear someone has similar forward-thinking regarding cryptocurrency  Wink

I just posted a thread on SDN pre-allo: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/pre-ann-cura-proposal-to-de-centralize-medicine-healthcare.1052331/

And they think ALL bitcointalk people are matured people  Cheesy


Also, I have started working on source-code.

If I mine this does it mean I can opt-out of Obamacare without the penalty?  Roll Eyes

Definitely No penalty  Wink , you don't have to pay for extra premiums either.

Another point I want to bring up for miners/investors (since this is Bitcointalk after all) is, although Cura is catering a niche market (medicine/pharma), if there is adoption, the market is hughe, only even if it in U.S alone.

We will start working on the project next week. I will do more thorough research/changing proposal a bit before releasing to studentdoctor network site. Also, the soft upper cap is 500 billions but I am thinking of following Dogecoin's route of around 3% inflation once the maximum is reached. My reasoning is to make it affordable. Let me know what you guys think.

let's make a deal.
reducing the influence of insurance companies and breaking their tight grip on providers and patients,
just FYI, most developed countries except for the US have universal healthcare i.e. "medicaid for all".  

many of the problems you list are not shared by the rest of the world outside the US.  

Many of us outside of USA consider one's health to be an intrinsic human right rather than something that should be paid for individually, out of pocket.
