Thanks; but, for what I'm wanting to do, that's lacking too. The XML is stripped down and doesn't have "Points Last 24hr" which is integral to a valid estimate (a backwards looking average is 23M points different than past 24 hours on eoc and ~ 20M different than the "Pool Folding@home rate" number on cbp).

Basically I want someone new, and considering joining CC team, to type in their estimated PPD number (and nothing more) and have as close to a valid estimate of earnings as possible. They can then tweak settings to get larger range estimates, but accurate simplicity first.

It's a planned addition and the next thing on my priority list after some general business tasks. What you have described here almost exactly what I'm hoping to do, with some help (I don't do front-end development).

Once we get to that point, if you're interested in providing some feedback, I'm sure we could pull you into some meetings on this addition.

We've hit another all time Folding@Home daily record of 358,374,369, up from our previous record of 343,270,480.
With at least 1 more 1080 Ti being added today. Cool

Between you, me, and members of the Google Hangout, that's about 10 (6 confirmed) 1080 Ti being added in the next few days.

What name are you folding under nowadays, Genie?

According to FoldingCoin's June public recap where part of Curecoin team participated, there are now 10 developers working on Curecoin.
I guess they finally understood the potential of their coin and accepted to delegate the development of parts of it to more people.
Good news in other words.
I hope, ffs, that it isn't the same folks that have been "working on" FoldingCoin.  Undecided

We're all listed here.

I understand SigmaX will likely never actually disappear, but wouldn't the shift to 2.0 almost eliminate any market for 1.0 and thus remove any incentive to participate in SigmaX functions?

If my memory is good:
  • CC2.0 will be the new coin (quantum computing safe, without PoW) that will be distributed for Folding
  • SigmaX is a new coin, (quantum computing safe, with PoW), and its distribution would be (probably among others) related to holding (i.e. not dumping) CURE

But this was the idea over one year ago. Since then it might have evolved to take into account new ideas the Devs had (Proof of Proof etc.).

Interesting. I'll have to get some clarification on this.

...I think the current system is designed well to support rewarding Folding@Home contributors...
Agreed, CureCoin is literally the difference between me folding and mining some random dumpcoin.

Thank you for your contribution.  Smiley

BTW - for some of us it's not "Triple Payout", it's Quadruple - "bragging rights" are in there somewhere. 9-)

Sure, CureCoin is THE Braggingcoin Cheesy

BTW - for some of us (those who hold their CURE) it's not "Quadruple Payout" it's Quintuple as the future SigmaX coin will be distributed as a reward for holding CURE (if I remember well).

From what I understand, the "future SigmaX coin" (aka Curecoin 2.0) is similar to the current PoS system that is in place now with 1.X (one that Genie is upset about because it was taken out of the SHA allocation).

Actually, unless things have changed, there were supposed to be 2 different coins: CC2.0 which would replace CC1.0 and remove SHA256D PoW and SigmaX which would keep the PoW.

I understand SigmaX will likely never actually disappear, but wouldn't the shift to 2.0 almost eliminate any market for 1.0 and thus remove any incentive to participate in SigmaX functions?

...one that Genie is upset about because it was taken out of the SHA allocation
I'm not "upset" about any such thing. If I were to use the word upset, I'd say that I find it upsetting that the OP is fallacious in the depiction of the "participation" role that ASICs can play in CureCoin.
Most specifically if there hasn't been any block in 40 minutes and the next block is PoS, and PoS difficulty is cut in half, it will still increase the PoW difficulty (which is only lowered by a long PoW block average time, not overall average block time of the network).



IMO, I agree with you, and it shouldn't work that way. But, given that the project has been around for a while, it is highly unlikely there will be any significant changes to address underlying characteristics like this until the launch of 2.0. Given that the point of the project is to increase the contributions to Folding@Home, I think the current system is designed well to support rewarding Folding@Home contributors and currency holders. Less emphasis on rewarding contributors would mean lower rates of contribution. Less emphasis on rewarding PoS would mean a lower currency valuation. Beyond a certain threshold, there would be no additional value to the project as a whole in support greater rewards for miners/ASICs.

While I appreciate the offer, I'm not a big fan of taking public things private or private things public.

My "issues"/concerns are but limited to four:

1) The statement of:
...Whether you are heavily-invested in ASIC equipment or still have GPUs and CPUs, you can participate....
is, at best misleading.
   a) Someone that is "heavily-invested in ASIC equipment" not going to fair well pointing that equipment at CureCoin,
   b) they're literally looked down upon for doing so. I use this morning's
...If you were properly invested in asic mining you would mine BTC mainly anyways...
     as a reference, because I'm too lazy to look up the other 2 or 3 times he's basically said the same thing.

2) There's no known activity on the part of devs to make CureCoin useful to purchase folding equipment. Making the primary purpose of the coin appear to be nothing more than dumping coins on altruistic buyers.

3) Through a willful act, or ignorance of code, PoS blocks increase the diff for PoW blocks (even when PoS diff goes down), creating 1a.

4) Being treated like a moronic child for pointing out that 1-3 are actual issues.

I completely understand and agree wholeheartedly.

1) I'll add a task to our team board to see if I can get this changed
2) We're working on strategic partnerships to increase the utility of the coin. I have this same concern and am working in many different regards to finding ways to increase the incentive to buy/mine/fold for
Curecoin.
3) I'll see if I can get this in front of Vorksholk to see if/how this is addressed in Curecoin 2.0
4) I understand and, though it may not mean much, apologize on behalf of the team. Thank you for your honest feedback.

Hey ComputerGenie,

I would be happy to sit down with you and try to get a feeling for your concerns. I'm not sure I can do much to change things, but maybe I can try and gather some feedback to bring back to the rest of the team.

Feel free to shoot me an email: todd at curecoin.io.

Well don't trust CURECOIN with your money if you like it....


don't get burned. So many lost money on this shitshow and now they have to seek a cure for their depression.

Despite the good 'idea', too many fundamentals are not present. You are 'folding' for a bitch that get it for free. Miners dumps at every occasion, or hold in despair. Large hand pump to make some FOMO bagholders  thats don't even read past the coin nickname, just to dump harder. No big fish will buy something that the 'consumer' dont need to buy WITH MONEY.

Who are you folding for already?

Get a reality check CURECOIN.



What fundamentals would you like to see? Are miners holding or dumping? You can't have both.

I'm aware there has been some issues with meeting stated estimates in the past, which is why we are not going to release any specific information as to when Curecoin 2.0 is being released.

As with most academic projects, society in general will benefit from the research, not just the Curecoin team or the schools behind the project. My personal investment of time in the project is due to my belief in the underlying mechanism which provides a net-positive social benefit. If you're buying Curecoin for profit, maybe we're not the best choice.

As with any coin, do your research and invest wisely.

I think by sticking only to one area we are limiting scope and growth

If you want to become the powerhouse of distributed computing we need to allow people to dedicate their resources on array of projects that they find worthwhile, interesting or even profitable.

So all those wanting to just go with "curing" can still do that but we allow others to join the project too.

Then again volksholk was saying there is a companion coin coming so perhaps that is what that is for, other things not related directly to curing.



I firmly agree. Given the resources available to the project, I could see the potential for a pivot into other distributed computing applications that could complement Curecoin.

As far as other questions go being raised here, I would need someone with more insight into the technical aspects of Curecoin 2.0 to respond to that comment.

I read this on the grid thread - im far more invested into cure coin since the start but I think folding at home is too restrictive

-------------------------------------------
Golem, which is also targeting distributed computing segment, still has marketcap ~14x higher than Gridcoin, despite having less functionality (just a distributing rendering prototype vs fully functional general-purpose BOINC computing platform used by Gridcoin). So yes, I would say there's plenty of room for further growth. The future is in monetized and commercial BOINC projects which will distribute Gridcoin to their crunchers, obtaining a lot of computing power at very affordable prices.
----------------------------------------------

BOINC and anything else that can facilitate distributed computing

folding at home is great but I think the poster on the grc thread and those voting with their btc are pushing more open ended distributed computing projects.

Would be good to see cure looking far into the future too.


Also i'm interested in the cure dev team

is vorksholk still involved and it seems some new devs are here now too?

I agree that there are definitely more opportunities to explore in the application of distributed computing and cryptocurrencies. As far as Curecoin goes, we would likely want to stay as close to our underlying mission (supporting health research through distributed computing) as possible. As a newer member of the core team, I'm not sure what has been discussed in the past.

Vorksholk is still our lead dev. We have an on-going and active project development community that talks on an hourly basis.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Protein Folding Research based Proof of Work on: May 18, 2017, 02:32:48 PM
is cure coin always going to be tied to folding at home?

what about opening up the possibility for other distributed computing tasks?

It's not something we have explored, but we're open to the possibility. Are you talking about BOINC or something else?
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Protein Folding Research based Proof of Work on: May 17, 2017, 07:38:03 PM
The CC team has been buzzing along very well lately.  You may have noticed that the website at https://curecoin.net has changed, but it is in nowhere close to its near-term end form.  We also have this site up https://curecoin.io which includes an updated Team page here: https://curecoin.io/the-team/.  We will be cutting duplication between the two sites, and have a team discussion on the web sites next Friday.  

Max is still hard at work on CC 2.0, now working closely with https://www.veriblock.com.  They have the creatively-named Proof of Proof technology to finish.  I'm working on a far superior project which I call Proof of Proof of Proof Grin  As many of you know by now, CC 2.0 will feature quantum computing resistant cryptography, mini blockchains for the light weight clients such as smart phones, and block times of a few minutes on average.

We are open to more volunteers (everyone on the team is volunteering).  Ivan could use some help with keeping the social media going, and other ideas for your efforts are also welcome.  I will post shortly on ways to contact us.

when we say near-term?
what scales of time are we using?
Rough rough guide for cc 2 release?

this is a very old project and cc2 has been talked about for a very long time. Just to give some indication would be very good at this point.

My Near-Term for a great web site estimate: 2-3 weeks
My CC2 Release estimate: Sometime this summer

That sound very promising.
Hopefully we will make poloniex regret booting cure coin and keeping on grid and folding.

A cure coin exchange could be something worth looking at in the future too or getting added to blocknet

We're not giving any time estimates on the Curecoin 2.0 release, but you'll know when it's coming. The release of Curecoin 2.0 will be much more than just a change to the blockchain. We are formalizing Curecoin as an organization and are moving from more of a "garage project" to a legitimate cryptocurrency with full-time staff.

Keep your eyes and ears open. There are some exciting things in the works.
