Title: What Don't You Like About Curecoin?
Post by: cameronpalte on November 24, 2014, 04:21:42 AM
Hello Everyone,
I was just wondering - what improvements would you guys like to see in Curecoin or what do you guys not like about it?

Well first off, can it cure anything?
In what context are you using the word cure?
It just seems like a random word was picked out of the dictionary that was still available.

Can it cure world poornes? Make everybody rich?

If not, it sounds like a scamcoin.

Only the sha256 part is relevant for network security, the folding thing security relies in a centraliced server which could get hacked and loses the crypto esence of an unbreakable cryptographic security.
I told to the devs that hold the coins and distribute them daily isn't a solution, if you want a good coin for distributed computing, should be done from scratch or with much more heavy modification, this isn't diferent from auroracoin and all that airdroped coins "I know the team seems honest and good guys, but the key is not need to trust anyone" Maybe a coin with smart contracts for distribution and the results from folding stored in a blockchain could be a solution, although should be better options in long run.

It uses Folding@home (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home)

lopalcar is right I think. It's good idea but not executed particularly well.

Yes it does cure things - it works on folding@home which attempts to solve protein folding in order to accomplish more and solve different major diseases.

Developer Vorshalk deciding to destroy the profitability of the coin by putting up a HUGE folding farm.

 I have to wonder how many of the "Development Team" reserved Curecoin are being used by him to FUND his profit-destroying gigantic farm.

 At BEST, this is an insult to everyone trying to use Curecoin (AND FOLDINGCOIN) to fund THEIR Folding@Home expansion.
