[ANN] CureCoin to be released soon.

[cygnusxi]

CureCoin - Dedicated to finding cures, and paying you for your contributions.

Thanks to the support of many people, it is now time to launch CureCoin.

Copyright © 2013 CureCoin Team

CureCoin is going to be a research driven coin, benefiting both miners and researchers.

Basic benefits

Chance to find cures for cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson, and Huntington's, and hopefully more.

Eliminate the excessive need for high power mining by using some of that power to fold proteins.

A coin that is likely to hold value due to its benefits to society.

Nvidia owners will be able to focus on research, and get fairly rewarded. No more running stacks of gtx ti cards to only get ~200 mhash.

         
        -No premine involved.
        -Low transaction fee 0.01
        -Easy to use client
        -Launch site - to be decided.
        -Project will be open source
        -CureCoin will have multiple features (secret for now) to prevent pump and dump by early adopters.
        -Scrypt Algo

-Launch site - to be decided. <<---- what does this mean? Source code and binaries might be getting released elsewhere. There is a possibility this coin will be first released on a university website.

For everyone who was been wanting to spend your electricity wiser while still mining for crypto, here it comes.

Many thanks to everyone who has been promoting and especially the ones who joined team "Cryptocoin Network". This team has been the inspiration to this project.

Check out our current stats and predicted ranks. Keep in mind this team is only a few days old, and we are competing against teams that have been folding since year 2000.

Sweet!

But... without a premine scandal it will fade away in oblivion, jk finally something worthwhile.

when = soon

[bitdwarf]

Watching.

How far along in the development are you guys?  Looking forward to this, but joining folding@home work units with coin mining is not going to be easy!  Best of luck! 

[co2pop]

here we go

I guess NVIDIA wants a piece of the mining cake. AMDs stock did pretty good in the last couple of weeks. I'm sure some eggheads ad NVIDIA noticed that.

So possible NVIDIA has brought this coin to life.

No, not easy at all.
Here is something i found while searching the topic. To give you an idea of how complex it is
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3qaT-ZL6aeKOHNEQWdpZEtRYWc/edit

Someone was really close to doing this once. I spent days staring at this code, and finally thought of a way to cut right through the nonsense of making something this complex that could be rendered useless if it ever needed an update. The CureCoin will be able to compensate miners and folders much differently then this previously proposed code. You will have the full details when it launches.

Edit - Didnt answer how much of the code is in place. About 90% done.

对此项目表示非常的关注~期待作者的最新消息~

I have to say. If you guys can do this. WELL DONE. Something worthwhile. I will be watching this thread for more information. This would be something I would fully support

[killa12222]

Awesome!

[jonytk]

if you somehow made that to mine this you need folder@home rewards i give you 2 internets.

But looks like another hype,  unless this is someone's university project.

anyway... good luck launching without a website... you need to put serious money and developers if you want it to have some btc value...

I can already imagine the troll box. " Buy CureCoin, it cures cancer!!"  lol

[h2odysee]

I would expect this to work by having the protein folding be the proof-of-work algorithm, but your post says that you use scrypt. How can scrypt hashing fold proteins?

[dokosten]

Love the concept. Hope you are serious! Good luck

[spoid]

well I hope this is the truth! very exciting! are red crosses or that snake-around-the-pole-thing copyrighted? might be nicer on the coin than the current symbol.

[juve4v]

kakao team ?

[mobodick]

Nice!

This was something we all tossed around as an idea including myself. While its a great idea, its not the one ill be using.
