Thanks for the interest and positive comments. This project has taken a good deal of time, and its nice to know people appreciate that, it really keeps me moving at a good pace knowing there are supporters.
To answer the most common question "how in the hell is this gonna work" ---- you will have the option of mining via the blocks, or mining via folding, no matter what card you have. Obviously most nvidia users will choose to mine via folding, and most ati owners will mine normally. With a separation between these two functions I believe the overall result will be very stable, compared to trying to combine the functions into one. hopefully that satisfies your question for now.
In this manner both the folding and the mining will be every bit as secure as they are now. Security is priority #1 with this project, to create a long term stable ¢ure'ncy. my twist for currency.
In order to keep this project safe from corruption before its release, Ill be working with as small of a group as possible, just enough to make it work properly. please feel free to contact me though if you are willing to help. For the most part I think i have this on my own, which is why ive asked help from only 1 person so far(from this forum anyways). I can also handle building the website, but i might take someone up on an offer to make one. If any web devs want to show me a link to their current work that would be great. If i choose to let someone else build the site it will be because they are a pro web dev.
sorry if this post is messy i have to get ready for work soon. Will be back later tonight to see if my Zippy keyboard holds up to its warranty promise.
I am very curious about your brilliant idea. Would love to hear answers to my stupid questions so I can try and understand
1. So when people mine via the blocks, is that still solving the SHA algorithm? Or is it the Scrypt?
2. If two equally powerful computers mine the blocks and the folding respectively, will they get the same rewards? Otherwise this creates a bias in favour of what has the biggest rewards?
3. Will people/organisations be deriving a profit from this in any form? Besides the miners I mean. Say we find the cure for cancer, will that make some pharmaceutical company billions of dollars? Furthermore will the cure be made cheaply and released as a generic treatment which isn't expensive? I know cancer treatment drugs can be ridiculously expensive.
4. What will the starting difficulty be and how will you prevent the age-old argument of early miners getting too many easy coins?
5. Finally, will this be released anonymously/semi-anonymously or will you be releasing this full public with your identity? If it's the latter, are you worried about political influences and your safety/future freedom? Wikileaks etc.
Hope my questions aren't too tedious and I don't look like an idiot answering them. Can't wait to see this released. It will capture the general publics imagination.
