[CURE] - Mining a cure for cancer

[greyworld]

[CURE] curecoin.net

I was digging through the exchange's selection of dirt cheap coins lately when I found this and thought I'd check it out.  Really cool stuff.

CureCoin is a distributed protein folding network used for research in solving diseases and (I think) curing cancer.  I'm a little murky on the specifics of protein folding, honestly it's pretty complex.  But it's doing good stuff, and it takes a lot of CPU horsepower, so the good folks at Stanford University came up with Folding@Home, which uses peoples home computers to collectively equal the power of multi-million dollar supercomputers.  CureCoin has partnered with them to create a crypto-currency based on letting users earn Cure coins by participating in this research.

Good stuff.  I like it.  So I'm trying it out, you can mine with either SHA256 to secure the cypto-coin network, or CPU/GPU mine to actually fold proteins.  Either way gets you Cure coins.  More info on this at the link.  It's very simple to setup, like any other mining.

Wouldn't you use all that GPU horsepower currently mining various versions of Bitcoin copycats on something actually productive?  Sounds like a winner to me.   

I'm not sure what the investment potential of [CURE] is.  The chart looks pretty healthy, volume is low but there's still enough variation going to get some good trades in.  I bought a good sized chunk of it and I'll report back with the results of that here later.

It seems like a project that I can not understand exactly what it is and what it does.I think that it was a very radical sentence to say to cure cancer. Many people we know may have cancer.Cancer is a disease that is very difficult to treat and even certain deadly in some species. It is absurd to me to reconcile this with an ico. Millions of billions of dollars are already ready for a sector that is trying to solve this problem.He could produce more different projects until he found the subject of cancer and got him into ico. I do not believe that the project is reliable.It is very difficult to find a treatment for something, but it is very unethical to say that the treatment of cancer is found on top of it.

I wish i knew about this project sooner, i will be distributing links to this foundation on all social media platform i have a big following on... LOVE THIS

The concept of this ICO is great. Instead of owning a big computer to the protein unfolding, uses the power of people's computer and in the process mine a token out of it. It's a two in one concept. Liked the idea, will follow this one and see how it works out.

Check Gridcoin too, they have a similar concept.

[Kraddler]

Great project. Perhaps we already could have cured cancer if all bitcoin miners folded proteins instead of computing hashes 

[leea-1334]

This is actually been going on for a while since at least late 90s, the concept of "home computers" harnessed together for supercomputing power. Remember when they managed to map out entire human genome? This was the idea that made it successful. But yes, Curecoin and Gridcoin are two such crypto linked to that sort of thing.

Thank you for reminding us!

Thank you for remaining skeptical I think it is always a benefit for us to do so about any claim.  But as near as I can tell, it's accurate.  Protein folding research is being used for all kinds of good stuff like curing disease and cancer treatment.  Here's are some links I found to substantiate that, maybe you could have a look at them and see if that helps us find clarity on this.  If you read them through and still disagree, please let me know and I'll take a second look.

You are not wrong for being skeptical. This is after all the world of crypto. One must always be extra careful. But the Gridcoin and Curecoin projects are well recognised in research, you can check for yourself and email those unis and departments listed at Grid and Cure. Actually, if you join the telegram channel it is FULL of conversations. And not scammy buy sell repeater bots
