PRE [ANN] CureCoin development continues....

[allcoinminer]

Folding or Mining create more curecoins for supporters?

[askcoin2]

CureCoin added to our coin voting.

is this coin still alive?

[bitpop]

is this coin still alive?

Yes I'm still folding, help us by buying curecoin on bittrex

[Vorksholk]

is this coin still alive?

Very much alive, targeting a public beta of many of the 2.0 features in late February.

Interesting... Will wait.

Imagine a coin with real world purpose, that actually helped cure a disease. That would be something.

Question: has this folding process that computes useful algorithms cured any diseases in the past?

folding has contributed by showing us how proteins can be joined together. as far as I understand folding is contributing by freeing up time for researchers that would have been wasted trying to fold proteins on their own

While there is no drug you could go out and buy today based on the work of folding@home, similar computational biology is actively used by pharmaceutical companies today. Japan's K supercomputer has been used before for simulating protein structures by several japanese pharmaceutical companies, and the folding@home project has published a multitude of papers which show promise in leading towards the development of cures or treatments. You can take a look at the folding@home results: https://folding.stanford.edu/home/papers/#ntoc118

Oh okay, maybe one day will will cure something with a crypto-coin But I don't understand researchers would try folding proteins on their own? Would they not just be running the same computer algorithms but with less computing power?

Oh okay I am starting to understand. These algorithms help create Big Pharma drugs, hmmm.

True, but by crowd-sourcing the computational investment, no pharmaceutical would have a patent on the primitive proteins/structures that they are targeting, so they would have to compete on a fair market with one another.

Not only to cure diseases, but also to unravel the mysteries of protein folding.

[spassbold]

This is so frustrating.  Why can't we make mining useful ?

Isn't that one of the things that this altcoin aims to address?
Though if you wanted some other coins with 'useful' mining, consider RieCoin, PrimeCoin, and other mathematical exhaustion coins where the exhaustion process is hard, work can be counted piecewise, and results can be verified quickly.
The note about ASICs is just that they're eliminating the SHA256d element from the mining process - an element that has no foreseeable secondary usefulness and whether its intended use for strengthening the blockchain worked out as desired, is something the devs will have to get into.

Mining is such a waste.

So don't mine, and just fold

I haven't been mining for a very long time for that reason.
I am waiting for useful mining.
I'll have a look at RieCoin.
I know PrimeCoin but was it useful at the end ?

I you're looking for a coin that has no useless mining, but only contributes to science (the blockchain is secured via Proof of Stake that hardly wastes any electricity) then have a look at Gridcoin.

It's also more decentraliced as the Proof of Research is part of the Proof of Stake system so there is no central enitity that determines how much you get but it's decentraliced.

Folding coin is good

[SalimNagamato]

Folding coin is good

Cure coin also good

Awesome! Anyone who needs folding help, PM me and I'll get ya fixed up

 Hello my name is fdeabreu2u, started folding @ home last week, am in team 1 Pandelab and have a cryptobillions account setup whit my FAH usermane, but I dont seam to be getting any curecoins, on the F@H software i already have 15,305 points and 117 Work units completed! Can you Help me in resolving this matter or on stting up properly, please?

Are pool and fah usernames identical?

[fdeabreu2u]

Yes in both places usernames are identical!

Not sure about the other problem, but I can help on sitting up properly.

To sit up properly:




let me know if you have any other questions.
