Simple (ish): have a live value ticker combined with a daily refresh WU/CURE ticker on curecoin.net.
a quick way to see what just one's CPU can fold on 'light' without affecting performance.

Something like...


It's just a bunch of maths with values scraped from stanford and exchanges, but it would answer manymany forum questions and help noobs snap decide if they're in or not. Maybe some lovely browser querying js can dynamically get a visitor's rated CPU speed for it. It'd be even nicer if the PPD value could be tweaked by more savvy users with their GPUs involved who want to use it as a calculator.

Also after looking at my previous efforts for a day or so, this occurred to me



...since there's nothing wrong with the original coin logo reeeeaaally.

I'm in no way belittling your effort, but this guy looked so stock-photo-ish that it took about a minute to google him.



...And since i work with stock images often, I know the shutterstock image license doesn't cover an image being reproduced more than 2500 times, and other redistibution-in-part restrictions are in there too, all of which nixes the use of their images for coin logos.

An original design involving a 3d human and protein chains would be most tasty though. I wanted to render protein coils in 3D for my design, but the numerous images from Stanford's folds proved material enough.

and here's black & white ones, and the less-3d-looking ones i made on the way to the complex ones:

Wise before the announce thread becomes full of replies quoting images.

Just posted! and here's what I posted for the general enjoyment/derision of this forum too:

LEGIT.

And damn it's nice to see a blockchain sync from scratch in under a minute. It's a very, very early point to mention it, but an electrum-a-like wallet for curecoin would be sweet in future once the blockchain is a bigger sync.

For now: More nodes! +1

If you were building a factory, would you expect to buy/lease the premises, equipment, upfront costs, and pay for your own survival during setup by trying to barter the unmade, unvalued items your factory is to produce?

Curecoin's kind of a WU factory, a new height of transparency and real-world presence among altcoins, and a long time in planning, dev and cooperation with stanford. And since you can't buy servers nor survival nor business expenses with unlaunched altcoins, and since one can't reasonably expect investors to wait until the coins owed to them are mined when one can't predict an unlaunched coin's hashpower, what else could they do?

Also I think this thread's numbercentric participants are beginning to forget the one or more people all of us know or have known with cancer and/or other diseases F@H hopes to combat. What do you really want to throw your hardware at, pumpydumps and uncertainties, or real work towards those goals that stanford is getting done in record highs? I'm hashing for my uncle now, not BTC.

Our robots are made to help us, so hashing for humanity and folding for our future makes more sense than wearing out all this nice tech so fast just to make long chains of unfathomable numbers with which to move money and argue with governments.

sure, why not, with a value so miniscule that most exchanges don't have sufficient decimal places to express it.
DVC/BTC   0.00000019   0.00000020   0.00000019   0.2187



I'll wager your words they don't. I'll wager you my meagre 15 Curecoins. If'n they're so worthless you won't mind giving some away.

there are two, and here they are: https://blockchain.info/pools
if CURE mergemined with BTC, cexio and that unknown chunk of private hashing would control most of the curecoin generation, pumpanddump them into the ground for BTC like all the other mergemineables, and generally reduce Curecoin's value.

Making a conscious choice to point one's SHA at Curecoin to benefit and encourage folders instead of just amassing mBTC is what gives CURE part of its value. If all the SHA was already guaranteed to be done as part of a mergemine, miners would consider X Curecoins per Ghs and the prices of it on exchanges would reflect that, not the folding.

Also ASIC devices are superceding themselves so damn fast now and becoming pointless for mining BTC so rapidly that Curecoin may as well use that hashing for the blockchain, since scrypthashing it would be a waste of fold-worthy rigs.

Yeah, building in mavericks sometimes no likey lion. If you build it in lion it should be fine on both, though.

Lol bleh. What was it then? 'Cos I launched it on my 'safe' mac and now i don't know if i need a restart or to forcequit something.

That's not a mac .app, that's a folder called curecoin.app.
nor does it contain any of the usual graphic resources that a qt wallet build normally would.
Than if you do rename it curecoin.app (making it launch-able), its icon is grumpy meme cat going bleh, and when launched it seems to do nothing.

malware, trolling or dropboxing the wrong thing error?
clamxav reads 0 virii and running it doesn't prompt for an admin password so limited harmfulness, but still not a mac wallet



Bleh.

https://www.scificryptoexchange.com/ is broken!

SUMMON THE SPOK

That's not how you quote posts!

But also they changed to 30 confirmations so my Curecoins mined about an hour ago are confirming now.

Also hey: Unicode has Curecoin kinda covered for a symbol, although it's not in a circle. ☤

My first mined Curecoin from a little over 24 hours ago is just beginning to confirm now @ united-miners pool. Not bad for a young blockchain

That's great, since machines made of proteins (humans) are good at folding proteins, it'd be a fun way to get people with low hardware power involved, since their inbuilt cpu/gpu combo (brain/eyes) is pre-optimised for folding

Also: mac wallet soon? offer a bounty for first compile if you don't have a mac dev on board?

Also also: MacOsX can't fold using gpu, (although windows running on a mac will).
It looks like it works but never receives work. Known issue. Thought I'd put it in this thread.

Also also also: I might have inadvertently hijacked a long-abandoned F@H username, even though the F@H site sent me a passkey for it. In my F@H noob-ness I didn't notice that it has WU history from 2012 and earlier. I guess if they try to fold now with that username they'll be prompted for a passkey and have to set up a new folding name, so it looks like you need a disclaimer on cryptobullionpools etc to avoid this by picking an unused username for folding, lest we annoy F@H users without passkeys from long before curecoin's launch, or even encounter potential situations of F@H users contributing unknowingly to someone's coin earn.

You got my ASICs mining Curecoin and 4 mostly-idle computers folding. Well done!

Although it's way too soon for extra projects, any thoughts about curecoin becoming a part of human-powered folding via http://fold.it/ or similar?

My block erupters, dusty and bored of BTC, are ready for Curecoin, as is the idle time of all the computers in the house. And that of my VPS.

I notice androids, modern playstations and other such doowackery can fold too, so many users on bitcointalk who wanted to scryptmine on obscure hardware can fold instead.

Gekko won't play nice with cex.io now that they've introduced fees.


Haven't tested it for larger transactions yet, but trades this size and larger are doable manually on the cexio website.

EDIT: sometimes manages trades, sometimes not. :/
