[ANN]Curecoin beta pool test - user limit lifted - Lets hit the Mile Stone 1200R

[dudeami]

back to normal  todays points are updated

Any reason my valid points dropped from ~35k to 19547? Might still be that bug lingering :p I'm not worried but dunno if it affects anything/other users.

Keep up the good work!

i made an adjustment to how many days back points are counted against. the end result will be a system that pays based on points going back 24 hours, since this is the longest a WU  usually will take.

With the first payout schedule the little folders were not getting there fair share, since we were taking total points from a 5 day period.

so the payout system is looking more like what the curecoin plan is now, payout per 24 hours of folding. You should see a more even spread of the share now to all the folders.

Thanks for the explanation. Maybe change it from "Your Total Folding Points" to "Folding Points within 24 hours" as to avoid confusion?

Guys - even though this is just the test pool, I think it's the beginning of something that's going to make history in the crypto/distributed computing world.

This TEST pool has driven the Curecoin group to 1813th of over TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND teams in what? Ten days? As of this post, there's only 66 members on the team. I've been keeping my eye on the team ranking and it continues move up in ranks. If you're not interested in throwing some GPU power (or even a CPU) toward this project for the current payouts of GLC/profit, consider hoping on board because this is very likely just the beginning.

I've just been a hobbyist miner with just a single 7850 (and perhaps I've also been a bad investor in LTC), but this idea and what could become of it is the first time I've thought about buying a additional hardware to hash/fold. It took me all of five minutes to download the F@H client and register there and with the pool - look at the OP, and jump on board - you can be part of this.

So what's the tentative day for the release of the Coin For Disease Control (beta thingy)?

we are trying to get the payout system tuned fairly, still a work in progress.

One a good note, team curecoin has hit 5,000,000 + point mark. currently around rank 1800.

Gratz to the folders, your team is kicking ass!

Take a look at the pool, payout logic has been adjusted again, and is more evenly disturbed now.

Yeah, this team is making some big waves and we only got a few big rigs on here! Currently I feel the GLC is not a great incentive (I personally donate it back to the pool) but its enough to keep some of them on. Rank 1200 in ~1 week if we don't get any resurgence in folding power.

[CryptoBullion]

glc price is doing good... i guess its time to up the payout though....

Upping payout to 8000 GLC per round from 4000 !!!!  this leaves enough for another ~14 days of folding, and at this point should be well worth it to help the team out.

Dont forget about the bounties... it looks like its about equal to 100$ usd in bounties ( search curecoin bounty thread)

For some reason, my 7970 cards are only reporting around 80000 on core 17. My 7950s report around 75000 for themselves.

For anyone curious, XFX 7970 GHOST cool cards, no custom firmware, slight slight overclock, no undervolt (can't without custom FW), on a single-core processor. I'm wondering of that Sempron 145 Sargas is screwing me up. Anyone here have some insight into the folding world as to what a 'balanced' system is, and whether two GPUs can run fine from a unicore machine? Cheers

Edit: I'm guessing it's related to the single-core, as there are times when that core jumps up to 100%. I am of course not telling the machine to fold on the processor, but 100% folding from a core_17 running isn't conducive to multi-gpu setups on single-core CPUs.

[jlspartz]

I just found out about core 17.  Upgrading to it was a pain.  I had to put the flag in, install the core manually, delete the old work and database, and even hide Core 15 in order for my computer to resort to using Core 17.  Now, I've got slightly higher PPD, but it still seems like nothing compared to what others are getting.  Does 31K for Quadro K5000M sound right?

did you put the flag in on the shortcut? or in the client option menu? the flag is in too spots, and you have to change the option on the shortcut or it will try to boot into another option.

I did see someone else has a similar problem... The curecoin.us site is up, we will be putting guides there soon.

[jlspartz]

I didnt put it in the shortcut before. I was able to get it to 43k for the card by using an older graphics driver - 311 instead of 320. It just seems low since I'm getting 38k with the cpu.

Wow, what CPU are you crunching on?

The CureCoin team is now out computing INTEL and PandeLabs!!!
Now's the time to hop in on this, guys. We're just getting started!

Curecoin points in the last 24 hours = 1,006,625
Intel Team points in the last 24      =    960,511

"Team Intel tries to compete, but has been stricken down by the Curecoin!!!"

Curecoin points so far today = 375,055
Pande Labs points so far today = 362,715

"Pande Labs is holding in the fight , but team Curecoin is not done yet!!!"


Curecoin

Pande Labs

Intel

This is a great success. I'm going to have coffee with a potential investor to curecoin today. This person wishes to see this project happen and said he is willing to cover some start up expenses.  I plan on starting a fund raiser to cover the rest soon after Im done with this meeting.

The curecoin team is growing powerful in more ways than folding power, people are supporting the project more than ever.

Now lets keep kicking the pants off team Intel and Pande Labs

why is my hd 7970 goes up and down between 70k and 140k ?

[CryptoBullion]

Pool still up and going, team rank now 881

Come join the pool and learn how to fold before official curecoin is released 

 

[Makitaki]

why is my hd 7970 goes up and down between 70k and 140k ?

I don't know why but my 7970s are doing the same. Unfortunately it's not stable 100K from beginning to end.

Well, after some days of folding all I can say it's not profitable even in the slightest at the moment. GLC is so cheap that you should pay much, much more to cover at least electricity bills.  We reached your magic 1200R, so why is the delay? Why sudden silence? When are you going to launch Curecoin?

AMD Cards seem to be particularly edgy to PPD, but NVidia cards have done it too. How many cores is that machine running?

Yeah, right now folding will cost you a bit of money. Not sure what the magic 1200 was for (better stats, I think?), but curecoin will come soon, I think cygn mentioned a few things he was still working on over at the curecoin.us forums.

The problem might be that your looking at folding like you do at Hashing.  They are totally separate things.  When hashing, your rate pretty much can stay stable from now til the end of time, because your doing small calculations over and over again.  It never differs.  In folding, sometimes a single fold will take 1-2 days, If your folding a 70k workload and it takes 0.75 of a day to finish it, your days will look like 75K / 150K / 75K / 150K.  If however you get put on a different project.  Say folding for a cancer cure as opposed to folding for a cure for Malaria, the calculations will be way different, and the time it takes to complete will vary dramatically as well.  The work units are set to pretty much equal out overtime.  so in the case of a 75K / 150K flip flop your avg is 112.5K per day

[CryptoBullion]

today was the first day we ran the polished up version of the folding pay system. progress is being made. this is not a project that one can just throw together. I can tell you its gonna be worth the wait. while i can give no exact date yet its a lot closer than it was before this alpha pool test. ( if anyone noticed alpha pool payment was a little % off today its because the system went back 2 days worth of points the first time it was run, this was done intentionally, going forward it will should be 100% accurate again ) .

Sidenote - the plans for development have an underlying rule to the whole project, take the time and make it right

this is a good explantion, also more about this

beta units are notorious for uneven folding times - your best bet is advanced units or bigadvanced.

starting and stopping your client especially for longer periods of time will make your estimated PPD go down since the total ppd i do believe is collected by the quick turn in bonus, correct me if im wrong

Good explanation, I would also like to throw in that some cards are better at different types of calculations.
