Edit: I'm not sure how big a deal it would be to lose an exchange since we don't have much volume. Forcing everyone onto one exchange might not be a bad thing since it would increase the volume on that exchange. I prefer Bittrex over Poloniex though. I'm curious why you prefer bittrex. I use bittrex a lot because it has an incredible number of coins, but it seems to me that poloniex is technically 'better'. Trade fees are 0.2% on polo and 0.25% on bit. Withdraw fees are generally lower on polo. Polo offers the ability to analyze your trades for each coin using special parameters to determine your average price. Charts are more smooth and detailed. Admins are more active in the chat, users are more active in the chat.... Higher volume on the coins I've traded which is only Curecoin and Dogecoin and I've never seen any downtime. Never had any sort of problem what-so-ever. At the time I'm typing this Poloniex appears to be down but I could reach it within 10 minutes. I suspect I'll start moving over to Poloniex soon. I have an account there. I just prefer the GUI a bit more on Bittrex but either will work fine for my purposes. Ironically it looks like the Dogecoin wallet is disabled on Bittrex now so I guess I can't say I've never seen an issue anymore...

It says the following: "This market is in danger of de-listing due to low trade volume and lack of user interest. It may be removed on November 7th unless the average daily trade volume for the last 7 days exceeds 0.2 BTC." That's a bummer - I don't have enough to trade and Bittrex is a major exchange for us. Yeah it bummed me out as well! Hopefully the volume will rise enough to keep Curecoin listed. Today's volume is above 0.2 BTC, so that's looking up Yeah I'm actively trading now as well to try to increase the volume.

Quote from: alicea on October 28, 2014, 10:37:53 PM Quote from: ryohazuki89 on October 28, 2014, 05:25:55 AM Who has more miners/folders now I wonder, gridcoin or curecoin? Gridcoin is in like 141st place for most BOINC generated. But just curious. I am the enthusiast of both coins (and please don't forget about undervalued CPU-only ripple-based ResearchSupportCoin). One part of my hardware is working for gridcoin and another part for curecoin. I can see advantages and disadvantages. Your question "who is on better place" in ranking is completely wrong way of thinking. Both coins should do some things to improve, I mean technically and good information (if you want, I can list them). Both have unjust way of rewarding, but both have future. There's one fundamental difference: gridcoin needs help and has wider perspectives, but curecoin is older and seems to be more stable. Actually Curecoin is younger than Gridcoin by at least six months. Gridcoin was released in late 2013 and Curecoin wasn't released until May of 2014.

I think it's just because they launched the new version. Probably, the same will happen when the new curecoin is out. I agree. They was supposed to launch the new version this week and there was quite a run up to it. I didn't check to see if the new version was actually released though. They was still testing the last I saw. I hope we see the same with Curecoin. Edit: I did check now and it looks like there are some problems, which leads me to say again how well Curecoin has been done. It is virtually problem free. Yes we run into issues with the folding but never with the wallet. Well done dev's!

I did some looking around on this and to be honest the information is so old now I don't have any idea how many PPD you should be getting. Most of the discussions around the Radeons 5870 was back in 2009 and 2010. You can post the same information you have here to https://foldingforum.org/ and see if someone has more information specific to the cards. Regarding the downvolting cards, I would say it probably isn't a good idea for folding but I have never done it with my 290X TRI-X cards. Keep in mind folding uses a lot less energy and generates less heat than mining anyway. Regarding crossfire, it should not make any difference one way or the other according to the F@H forums. The F@H client ignores crossfire. Quote from: conspirosphere.tk on October 24, 2014, 08:47:18 PM I've got a rig folding from 12 hours with 2 radeons 5870 (cpu folding disabled, it's a dual core pentium), but they make just 34700 PPD together. Seems too low (?). ATI driver is the latest (downloaded yesterday). Log below. Any advice welcome. P.S. anyone has experience downvolting Radeons to fold? These babies used to mine for years finely at 0.985 v. and could Xfire them be a good idea for folding?

Quote from: URSAY on October 23, 2014, 10:42:21 PM Is there a reason you don't have your mac wallet listed in the op? Also, is there not a working block explorer currently? Could the mining pool list be updated as well? [EDIT] Also, there is just this very short statement which is unclear and overlooked next to all the other info and graphics... "PoS mintage model also included." Proof of stake can be a very popular feature. I think you should make it more clear that your a proof of stake coin and provide more details on that. Just bought some curecoin. Happy to now be a part of this community. I hope I can find a place to help push this project forward. Welcome aboard! I suspect you will see more information about Curecoin when the devs get done with cc2.0. They are making a lot of improvements so much of what is in cc1.0 won't apply anymore. Here is a link to what is known so far. http://curecoinfolding.com/progress-updates-p2p-networking/

This isn't related to Curecoin but I guess it is just a reminder (as if we need another one) to anyone that is new to crypto as to just how risky crypto is. http://www.dailydot.com/politics/moolah-dogecoin-alex-green-ryan-kennedy-ryan-gentle-millions-missing-mintpal/ This is yet another case of large sums of money ($1.4 million) disappearing after a lengthy effort to build trust in a community. Moolah was well known and active in the Dogecoin community and it appears yet again that it was all an effort to grab cash by the owner... He also appears to have taken MintPal's funds as well after their takeover. I didn't lose coins in this scam but I did lose a few coins to something similar with an exchange called coinmarket.io. That was my first experience with just how "fly by night" the crypto world can be. So even though I had a balance on MintPal, when the conversion went badly to say the least I immediately moved my coins as soon as I was able to. The moral of the story is try to keep your coins in your own wallet. Leaving them on exchanges just opens you up to another way of having your coins taken from you. I know for people that active trade that is easier said than done.

I haven't been getting many Core 16 WU's lately though. What GPU are you using and what is the Core for the WU being processed? aticonfig --odgc is an opencl configuring tool showing actual clocks and gpu load gpu is radeon 6850, cpu is 2-core athlon I've added all possible parameters to slot, like client-type advantage and gpu-usage 95 etc, changed the priority of fah client, but no way, the gpu utilisation is a few percents, max 15%, and the gpu often goes idle. Because of that the fah manager shows ETA 1-2 days (CPU), but 9 days (GPU). I mean the utilisation of gpu, not the percentage of the work unit. I suggest going over to https://foldingforum.org/ and starting a thread and post your logs. Perhaps this is something that others have seen before.

Quote from: cryptoconomist on October 11, 2014, 02:27:19 PM An example on what the dev could do to make this coin more interesting/valuable.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=711966.0 Very interesting idea by the developer! Looks like he found a use for his coin for the traders of the world of which there are many. The guy appears to be getting overwhelmed on his trading software thread though. He probably doesn't have much time to put into new versions of his coin. I can't say I've ever heard of his coin though so I'm not sure what its purpose was in the first place. Although I have to say the 2,500% (mentioned in the linked thread, I didn't verify) increase in the value of his coin value when he announced his trading software appears to have brought in a lot of people! Quite nice volume now and still highly volatile. Edit: I've read a good portion of the above linked thread and I have to say I think the developer really has a brilliant idea in that he is using a holding amount of his coin as a requirement to use the features of his software. Instant demand from all speculators. A very creative idea indeed! As new features gets added he increases the holding amount. When it was first released he was only asking for a holding amount of 100 of his coins. Now it is 10,000 and he is moving toward 20,000 soon (for advanced features). Amazing people are willing to do it but they appear to be. I don't know if cloning his idea would be nearly as effective now. I wonder how many coin developers have approached him to see if he would work with them on requiring their coins as well.

Just for the record I would like to recant my mention of Moolah from my message quoted by Indigoman. Since they have taken over MintPal, let's just say that I won't be doing business with them unless there is a radical improvement in their customer service. So please ignore that part of my message. There are plenty of other payment processors. Regarding the inflation rate, I've also seen 1-3% used quite a bit. My feeling would be closer to 1% but it is just a guess.

Quote from: pallas on October 05, 2014, 07:56:08 PM I believe that the coin aim is to replace the useless mining of the other coins with useful computation. In this regard, the dogecoin effort doesn't deliver, nor does the current curecoin implementation. But version 2 will, so I am really looking forward to it! Let's hope people will understand the importance of this aspect of cryptocurrencies. Yep, I completely agree. The wasted energy and the actual release of Curecoin is why I stopped mining Dogecoin myself. Without usage of the coin though Curecoin is in a tough spot. I'm a believer in research based crypto. I have no idea what that will ultimately look like in a few years with the various progressions but I do believe the two concepts are perfect for each other. Of course there would be other difficult problems with "attaching" to another coin as well such as what would be done with the existing coins that we already have. So I suspect any possibility of doing that is already too late.

@Vorksholk Thanks for the detailed information on quantum computer resistance! My concern is that you guys could be so far ahead of the actual threat that nobody is going to care. I also don't know how much additional work you are looking at for this specific implementation. Maybe it isn't much more work than you was going to have to do anyway for the certificate signing so it makes sense to do it now. I just hope it isn't adding months to the project at this point. Quote from: natmccoy on October 05, 2014, 12:54:31 AM So the market cap is currently at $16,000, granted that is somewhat due to the recent decline in bitcoin value, but at some point it has got to be worth investing in. Currently $160 gets you a 1% stake in the project. I've been dribbling in orders as the price declined, but it's getting to the point where this project is undervalued. How much lower can the price get? Well price is the equilibrium point between supply and demand right? So we know the supply, but what about demand? My concern all along has been what do we do with Curecoins? If the main use of Curecoin is to sell them on exchanges for other coins that we can actually use then Curecoins price is going to remain under pressure. Building usage around a crypto coin is a lot of work and it obviously takes a lot of people. It needs a large community. I think we've got 15-20 active posters in the forum, who knows how many readers. There appear to be even less on the main http://www.curecoin.us/ forum and our reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/curecoin/). We obviously have a lot more folders than that but they don't appear to be active in the community. So where is the ability to use the coin going to come from? Who is going to build it? We could push to get accepted by payment processors but from what I've seen so far only the highest volume coins have made it. Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. So even after CC2.0 comes out we still have quite a challenge ahead of us. Additionally, it appears that at least one of the more well establish coins have figured out that some of us like to fold and mining isn't viable for many people. For instance, the Dogecoin community is gathering donations to reward folders in Dogecoin. I can't help but wonder if we would be better off trying to embrace an existing established coin rather than trying to build a new coin from scratch and the Dogecoin community would seem to be a good candidate to at least have the discussion IMO. I know trying to get involved with an existing coin is a whole other can of worms but it may be easier to get involved with a coin that has an existing economy than trying to build one from scratch for a new coin. Just my thoughts.

Essentially no upward movement for its entire life....yet I keep buying more and folding because I believe in the cause. Can anyone give some reasons why the downward movement won't continue? Any big plans that will increase the value long-term? As a pretty vocal supporter of Curecoin I really wish I could say I'm aware of plans that will increase the long-term value of the coin, but sadly I'm not aware of any. CC 2.0 is certainly an improvement, but unless universities literally get behind CC 2.0 I'm still not sure where the value will come from. Additionally, it doesn't appear that the folding community is large enough to build an economy themselves such as with Dogecoin. I'm no economist and can't make any predictions about future price with any kind of certainty (hey, it's crypto!), but one of the roadblocks to the next generation of Curecoin is getting universities to integrate certificate signing into their existing computational research projects. We're working on making sure this integration is as easy and faultless as possible, which should ease any University's resistance towards implementing Curecoin into their work. Value is certainly an odd concept in cryptocurrency, and no one is entirely sure where value for any coin truly comes from. Some of it comes from speculation, some from utility, some from blind diversification, some from market manipulation, and some seems to materialize out of thin air. The hope is that the utility of Curecoin will push it to a higher valuation--it will offer similar utility to existing cryptocurrencies, and will have a signing algorithm which is resistant to Quantum Computers, unlike Bitcoin/Litecoin/Peercoin/Dogecoin...etc's ECDSA. Additionally, it is a significantly cleaner alternative to traditional mining--all computational power pointed towards generating coins is doing valuable computational research, and the relationship with university research facilities will hopefully increase the public image and set it aside from the black-market-related image that most major cryptocurrencies have been unfortunately shaded with. In addition to programming, the team is working with media contacts to further Curecoin's media exposure, though this has proven to be a lengthy process. I'm certainly not an economist either, but I suspect value / demand of any crypto is probably going to boil down to what you can do with it over others and the community. I'm seeing things like credit cards backed by crypto's being talked about, acceptance by payment processors like PayPal, etc. Ideally we would get universities that sign the certificates to also allow people to use CC at their universities for tuition, buying books, etc. Actual utility that people would find valuable. Unfortunately I don't have the experience to even pursue such ideas, not to mention my second full time job is trying to keep my computers running. UGH. IMO, I do not think a crypto can survive if it's main purpose is to be traded on exchanges. I hope resistance to quantum computers is a feature that people will feel is important enough for adoption over other coins but honestly until you guys mentioned it, I didn't even know it was a threat. Curecoin is clearly much more productive in use of energy. No doubt about it, but there are other coins pursuing energy efficient methods as well. For instance, Gridcoin is going through a complete redesign so that CPU's and GPU's all go toward research (95% overall). Who knows how that will turn out but there is progress on a number of fronts. I think what we are doing to earn curecoins is a huge selling point but I don't know how to leverage that into adoption / acceptance by payment processors. I hope I'm not sounding harsh. I know you guys are working as hard as you can and CC2.0 is a huge improvement, but utility has been a concern of mine for some time. I haven't seen much mentioned about it.

Quote from: kingscrown on October 02, 2014, 03:53:41 AM seems the coin is dying. it had decent idea but somehow peopel dint follow. real sham as this oculd help many lives It seems that the people that actually fold is a very small group. I thought this would bring new people in and it did but I don't think a lot of people that had never folded before actually stuck around. In all honesty I'm not sure how much longer I'll continue to fold. My reasons have nothing to do with Curecoin though. It has to do with the fact that folding on my hardware has been a non-stop battle since I started. When I finally got Core 17's running smoothly Stanford broke out the Core 16's again which causes my machines to crash constantly so the battle started all over again. I've been to the F@H forum and posted a couple of times. Members of the forum do try to help but I find the support from the "support" team to be lacking in many ways. Obvious things that would improve the user experience are clearly of no interest to them which is getting on my nerves to say the least. It seems they have more of an interest in getting people to go away then they do with improving things. So I'll probably oblige them soon. If new people ran into a fraction of the problems I ran into I honestly can't say I blame them for moving on though. Most people don't have the time to keep fighting the issues that come up. Neither do I.
