Hey Stedsm, you entered the team number wrong! http://fah-web2.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpage&username=Stedsm You put 2244970 rather than 224497.

I'm seeing you with around 16 CUR predicted payout:

That is of course estimated, and it may be a day or two for you to get fully paid out for those WUs.

As a point of clarification, we aren't making any investment advice. If we say anything about the markets, it's purely speculation, and purely a personal opinion, and should never be taken as investment advice. We're about protein folding, distributed computing, and the research and scientific progress which come as a result.

This is crypto. People will gain money, people will loose money, exchanges disappear, pools shut down. Practice safe investments--don't invest more money than you can afford to lose, never leave your coins in the hands of others if you can avoid it. We're not making any market predictions, and anything we say is based off of our own personal beliefs, which could certainly be incorrect. Do your research before investing, and think logically about anything you do--how could this go wrong? Is this the best choice for my money?

By investing or being involved in Curecoin, there's no particular promise about guaranteed profits or limited risk. We can't control the markets, we can't ensure profitability. We can ensure that, while participating, you are doing something good for humanity. Whether you purchase Curecoins and make the price go up, or point computing power at Folding@Home, you are helping to further research on some of society's most troubling problems--Cancer, Huntington's, Alzheimer's, Diabetes, etc. Whether the market goes up or down--that's economics. That's risk.

Hey Fifth, rumor has it you speced-out an awesome build around $10k for folding for fun, and I missed it! What kind of build were you talking about?

Also folding is going incredibly well

The 100 CUR is from my personal holdings.

Yup, definitely the next step!

Unfortunately, unless you want to run a WINE emulation, Linux can only fold with NVidia hardware. Are you on ATI cards or NVidia?

The $0.35/hr is actually a few cents higher than I'm currently paying ($0.29/hr right now). It's fairly profitable currently, but also a great way to acquire CUR right now

Good question!!! The GRID GPUs are fairly low performance for the price. LasersHurt did a test run of these and got really low PPD numbers, so c3.8xlarge or cc2.8xlarge with BigAdv is the way to go.

Hey guys! Appears the daily and hourly stats pages we made are working well, so here they are!

http://stats.curecoinfolding.com/

They will change, we'll add some small additions this weekend and/or next week. Note that estimated payouts are... well... estimated. Predicted. Etc.

After submitting a folding WU, it can take up to 24 hours for the pool to account for your shares.


30 days before PoS mintage is possible. 90 days until it is in full force.


ASICs are the only hardware that can efficiently mine, however GPUs and CPUs can earn the lion's share of coins by protein folding. 80% of the daily payouts go to CPU/GPU folders, while the other 20% or so are awarded by mining blocks in the blockchain.


Be careful! The hardware in most standard laptops isn't powerful enough to compete with desktop hardware, and the heat generated by laptops generally isn't dispersed as well. If you have a gaming laptop, you might have better luck, but keep an eye on those temperatures. CoreTemp'll come in handy.


Did you sign up with the exact same username for f@h and for the pools? What FAH username are you using?


Sure!! Active Clients are individual computers who have connected in the last x days (7 and 50 on the stats page). A WU is a workunit. Depending on the type, they can be worth anywhere from around 80 points to up over 500,000. The larger-point WUs take more time to compute, and some are only available for certain types of hardware. For example, a simple CPU project like 2968 can be worth upwards of 1207 points, a GPU project like 13001 can be worth upwards of 17123 points, and a BigAdv (Beefy CPU, we're talking 16 or more physical cores) like an 8101 can earn upwards of 22607 points. However, due to QRB, that 2968 unit could be worth, say, 15000 points, that 13001 WU could count for 40,000 points, and that BigAdv, with good enough hardware, could hit into the 400k range. Points are awarded, as mentioned, based on the difficulty and timeliness in which a WU is returned. Quickly returning a WU can increase the points it is worth by a factor of 10 or more in some scenarios.


The MH/s stat on the folding pool is just a graphical glitch heldover from old bootstrap pool code.


Your coins are certainly being counted, however the pool is currently only doing payouts on intervals. Set an automatic payout


Hey! Just checked your stats on my backend stat collection system, looks like you got nearly 250k points being counted in this payout roll.


Try setting an auto-payout, that seems to be working well.


Yeah, I'll admit that the IPO stake was quite large, and if I were to ever do a similar project I would certainly adjust it, but the people were taking on quite some risk exposure, and had their BTC locked up for quite a while. I can certainly understand people's negativity towards it though.


Yup!


Was this resolved? Sometimes waiting a few hours can fix this.


Did any coins appear in your cryptobullionpools.com account with the last payout? What's your folding username, and your cryptobullionpools username?


The stats shown on that linked page are total points, not points per day. It appears you have submitted a total of around 50,000 points worth of WUs so far.


Sorry about the delay! Try setting an automatic payout, the pool appears to be having some sort of issue processing manual withdrawals.


Are you mining with those GPUs by doing actual hashing? If so, that power would be much better spent doing folding


We understand the concerns. I suppose at this point, unless someone proposes some kind of alternate solution, it'll have to be based on trust. We did actually put in some of our own money, I threw about $2500 at it early on in the project. I'd be interested in some sort of 'lockaway' of the funds to ensure they're only paid out at the expected rate to devs, but I don't see a cryptographically-provable way to do that. If anyone has any proposals, I'm all ears


Agreed for sure on the technicality of ASIC-resistiveness, however seeing that a project, or part of a project is ASIC-resistant, is of course attractive to people with consumer-grade hardware


Hey! GPUs can take up to 20 minutes after first getting assigned a WU to start actually running. Some projects have stuff that must be done on the CPU before the GPU portion can begin. Did this issue resolve itself? If not, hop into IRC (webchat.freenode.net #curecoin) and shoot me a message, and we can work on it in real-time there Might want to consider scaling back the cpu folding so you don't choke the GPUs.


See above comment, did this resolve? If not, hop into IRC and I'll get you fixed up


Thanks for the log! Those times look correct, though for anyone reading this in the future know that it may change as we modify the payout pool.


Do your username on the pool (cryptobullionpools.com) and f@h match?


Welcome aboard!


Those might be slightly lower than normal, 770 should be getting around 70k-90k on Core 17, but if you got assigned Core 15 WUs, that sounds like a normal speed for that card.

The pool can take up to a maximum of 24 hours after a WU is submitted to be accounted for. After 24 hours, the workunit should show up in both stanford's stats (within an hour for them, usually) and on cryptobullionpools. They will then be counted for the following payout.

Added pictures. In response to the above, EC2 has a TON of servers, and it's very likely folders won't be competing for spot instances. This is more expensive per point than GPU folding, assuming you already have the hardware, of course.

I find that happening occasionally when I leave a folder on for more than week or two without a reboot. Try rebooting your system.

Welcome aboard! You might be interested in checking out the Chrome extension, the current project being assigned for those is folding for human islet amyloid polypeptide, which is a hormone for glycemic balance in the pancreas.

Hey, it appears that your GPUs are slow. Since this post was a few hours ago, did the folding catch up and start performing a lot better, or would you like some help troubleshooting those?

There is no hard limit to the number of curecoins, however a set amount (7488 until the block halving in 4 years) is paid out per day for folding. As the coin is PoS, the total network value will continue to grow.



There isn't a specific reference yet, however a 280x is basically a 7970, which should be earning somewhere around 120-160k PPD.

Hey Daliss! The update from f@h to the Curecoin folding pool (cryptobullionpools.com) occurs once every 24 hours.

For your rigs, those projects are very similar, and shouldn't be showing that discrepancy. Has this changed? If not, check the logs, and manually calculate the TPF by looking at the difference between timestamps on two messages from the same FS0x saying a new percent has completed, and compare that to the other rig. If those are similar, you should be fine and the PPD calculation is just off for now. If they are drastically different, then one machine is running significantly slower.

For a failed GPU, try restarting the computer, though that sounds like the driver is reporting a bad/failing GPU. Does mining work alright on that card?

Yup, done once ever 24 hours, the next payout will be around 2am EST.

Depending on the type of CPU you have, GPU mining is generally *far* more efficient. For people with very beefy CPUs (16+ cores) on linux, they can get bigadv WUs, which can earn upwards of 300k PPD. However, with standard desktop processors, the points payout is considerably lower (by a factor of 10-40) .
