Is there a guide on how to mine with Asic? Thanks

There will be a guide at launch, however it will be very similar to other coins, you just point your SHA256-based ASIC at any one of the various pools we plan to have ready on launch. Smiley

Additionally, you could of course solo-mine, and we'll have a guide for that too!

Ah ok!
Because i was reading this guide : http://curecoin.us/index.php?topic=9.0 and i was thinking there are different ways to mine :-)


Oh yeah, that's for the folding setup if you are using a GPU/CPU Smiley ASICs can't do protein folding unfortunately, so they provide their service in securing the blockchain Smiley

This seems pretty cool, looking forward to getting my fold on!

Looks like a coin with a lot of potential. Just imagine all the people running folding at home, now they can actually make money at the same time! Awesome idea!! Can't wait for the launch, I'm going to throw everything I have at this one.



Yeah, if people can get paid more than the cost of their electricity for folding proteins, it's a real win-win, and this coin will always be relevant for GPUs and CPUs, so investments into those kinds of hardware don't have to be scary, like the are with all the other alts these days. Smiley

AT LAST someone pulls this off! I love primecoin for it's intrinsic utility on top of making some coins, but this is outstanding!

Now, what safeguards do you have to validate the folding work? What simple proof-of-work is there? What prevents someone from submitting garbage?

Great questions! Since the folding isn't actually integrated into the blockchain but is rather an independent reward system (therefore the network keeps its cryptographic security, and protein folding doesn't bloat the blockchain), the work validation is done by the work-providing network. To start off, we are only using Folding@Home, but as the project grows, the beauty of the separate GPU/CPU computation pool is that more can be created to allow work done for other awesome projects as well. The F@H project handles stopping submitted garbage, and has some downright awesome protection against exploits. Work provided by work servers is provided redundantly, so if one person submits junk it's easy to pick out the incorrect workunits, and points will, for them, not be rewarded. Smiley
Very nice, I'm convinced for the time being. I'm going to mine this, that's for sure.

month-day-year I don't like. It is simply illogical Roll Eyes

If there's a launch time, please put it in UTC. Smiley

As we get closer, we'll put up both a count-down clock in OP and an exact time to be watching for it. Smiley

The moment we all been waiting for is just days away.

I'm new to the pool scene and will put one up to support curecoin.  Will be mining as well.   Grin
