Since we need some extra steam to get to that 1200 rank quick, I am putting up a bounty!

The person with the highest 24 hour total once we hit rank 1200 will get 0.15 BTC! I will be using kakaostats (http://kakaostats.com/tsum.php?t=224497) to get this information. Lets get to rank 1200 Cheesy

Just to clarify, I mean 24 hours prior to the rank 1200. So say we hit 1200 on Aug 5 at 04:00 UTC, all points from Aug 4 at 04:00 UTC to Aug 5 at 04:00 UTC will count.

I just made a team for folding@home.

"Cryptocoin Network" team number 224497

Put the team code in your client if you want to join me in a test run to compare to other teams. There is a team called bitcoin killers i seen, and another called bitcoin. They didnt have too many points compared to some others, so i thought it would be interesting to see how quick bitcoin miners would rise in rank.

Starting time 5/1/2013 11:25 pm EST

A lot of you are busy with the China coin at low difficulty.... the CHNCoin thread is 50+ pages deep already lol. I gave it a try and got a ton of orphans and not a single block.

When your done with the CHNCoin mining take a break and use one or two cards to do a folding project. if you havent tried it yet, the interface is very nice. You can select any GPU easily and use it for folding with the ability to pause /save your progress.  You can even use the animation of the molecule as an interesting screensaver.

With multiple gpus you can point one gpu to folding and the other to mining with no loss in performance.

I plan on giving out a few FTC when i see your names pop up in the list!

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/42471-f-h-core-16-taking-amd-gpu-folding-next-level.html

soon 5000 6000 7000 series cards will have about 2x speed increase for folding. here is results from the beta that was tested for a short while.

i will be pointing 2 6870's and a 5870 to the team

Just to clarify:

That article is 2 years old. There is no such thing as the new Beta 7. V7.3.6 is the default now and is not a beta and is what you download by default if you visit http://folding.stanford.edu/

yes moving at a decent pace!


if you read the article and test what your card runs at.. you will notice that the speed increase was not included in this stable release of 7.3.6

I'll join you for a bit I've been rather curious too about how we compare.

cool the team is getting a good start now. i plan on giving out most of my ftc for a while to build up some folding points and not have miners lose out on coins.

After i burn through my coins, ill try some type of bid for folding points thread, with a google doc to track transactions. something like each post containing:

Bounty to get X amount of folding points for Cryptocoin team

Offering X amount of coins

im sure there are some coin rich people that would pay a few coins per points for a good cause. That way they can keep mining and contribute to folding without using their own miners.

yea, i was thinking that since bitcoin kernel experts have perfected opencl, one of them should take a look at the opencl for folding. i bet the research networks would pay a nice amount for better opencl. i know they are working on it already. seems like bitcoiners know their cl much better though.

fire up a miner on your amd card that is folding... it will still mine at the same time pretty fast  

im folding and mining right now , temp 73 c

nice, 11k points already in a matter of hours.

Other teams have been on the board for a while... since the start of folding back in 2000. so in comparison we do ok for only a half a day of folding.

First 2 people in history to get Cryptocoins for folding@home! I did search google to check... There is mention of folding and bitcoin is a lot of places, but a lot of it was people doubting that it would ever happen.

It looks like work units get reported in groups at the exact same time, i kinda anticipated this was going to happen after looking deeper other's folding reports. Ill have to split the "First to 2000" bounty between the both of you. Congrats!!!!

Firing up my feathercoin client right now payments will be there in a minute!
