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

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

thanks for the explanation. another question, is folding really different from mining, because when I'm mining my GPU fan spins really loud, but when folding it doesn't make any sound. both shows 100% usage, and the temp is also lower when folding. both have the same OC, and I don't set any GPU related thing in my cgminer.

Mining produces quite a bit more heat.  I was quite surprised when I went from folding to mining.

Different folding work units can exercise different parts of the graphics cards in different ways (memory, shaders etc.). Some units have gone down in folding history as causing previously overclocked but stable machines to overheat and shut down. As mentioned above many different work units use the same core, so you can't make any sensible predictions referring only to the core. The best parameter to note is the Project, but older Projects are finished and disappear and new ones are started. There is no way for you to limit which Projects and Work Units download to your machine.

prepare for folding once again, deep inside the curecoin operation, code is being made beyond previous expactations  

New folding pool will be here  http://cryptobullionpools.com/folding/  

New pool will be very secure, on a highly protected ddos proof server. This should be the last test run needed before Cygnus can launch curecoin.

In the mean time... please visit my pools and share some hashes to support our efforts... dont forget to try your luck on a physical coin block reward in my DGC or WDC pool

Peace all


added this to my pool thread... share with your friends plz

I'm still confused as to how curecoin will contribute to folding.  Will the algo be folding or what?

[xyzwarrior]

the pool has been down for how long ?

Good question! Basically, the algorithm would be scrypt and people would mine the coin normally, but the person who mines the coin only gets 45% of the coin, 45% goes to a pool that pays out coins to people doing folding work, and the other 10% works towards things like DDoS protection for the folding 'pool', NVidia hardware giveaways, etc. etc.
