So knowing full well that centralization is a big hindrance, you guys didn't forego on making sure than transparency was clear for the world to see?

I mean, it seems a given to have on the website's homepage to say:
x amount of currently pre-mined curecoin to be distributed to folders
x amount of points folded today equaling x amount of curecoins distributed today to folders
x remaining curecoin to be distributed for folders


Something of that nature. I'm in no place to criticize, my knowledge isn't anywhere near your guys', but come on, from a sales point of view I don't know how this passed by your guys' heads. I must be missing something here.

I'm confused on how the transparency really works, then.

So there are 27+ million curecoins in "circulation", meaning that the only curecoin that aren't included in this number are ones that haven't been mined, correct?

And so within that 27 million there is a number of coins sitting in cold storage waiting to be distributed to folders, correct? What is that number? To me they're not necessarily in "circulation" if they are in cold storage and yet to be distributed.

And if we can't clearly see the number of coins waiting to be distributed to folders, how can anybody match that up with the stats to confirm there's no shenanigans?

How many are in the dev's wallet that are set to be distributed for folding, then? Only two million?

Is that valid? I know coinmarketcap was constantly changing the numbers for curecoin market cap.

Protein folding is not just about curing disease.. we should garner as much positive attention to protein folding as we possibly can. We should post this Ted Talk video on the website, or reiterate some of it... along with it are some important quotes from the video:

"So obviously one thing that proteins are important for is for understanding health and curing disease. But the other thing that I want to make a case for you about is the prospect of us scaling up small world machines to the big world."

"There's huge prospects for scaling these up for solving problems having to do with water supply, health, energy, solar energy conversion, human transportation, information.. We see it on the micro scale, we should be able to make it work on the macro scale."

"The great thing about this field is that it's one of the rare cases in history where you can already see how a technology works in great detail before you've even developed it. We see it work on the smale scale, it's just a matter of "can we scale it up?". We just need to learn the principles, we just need to learn how to harness it, and conceivably it's a future you will see and we will all see if that happens."

Who has more miners/folders now I wonder, gridcoin or curecoin? Gridcoin is in like 141st place for most BOINC generated. But just curious.
