Announcing the first Curecoin giveaway – your chance to win a GTX 760 or games!


With the launch of Curecoin becoming closer to a reality, Vorksholk and Yeltz have teamed up to create the first Curecoin giveaway contest. Up for grabs are two prizes: 1) the first place prize is a 2GB EVGA GTX 760 and 2) the second place prize is a coupon good for downloads of Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, and Splinter Cell Blacklist for PC.


     

How to enter:
Simply let us know you're entering here or on the contest thread at curecoin.us by providing your folding ID/donor name, and join the Curecoin folding team, accumulate at least a score of 400,000 points within the time the contest is running.

For direction on getting setup if you're not already, check out this guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=268556.0

How winners will be chosen:
At the end of the contest, all folding team members which accumulated at least a score of 400,000 points will be eligible for the drawing. Two winners will be selected at random, with the person with the higher of the two scores winning first place and the lower of the two winning second place.

The official beginning of the contest period will be Wednesday December 4th 1:00PM Pacific and run for for exactly 7 days, ending on 1:00PM December 11th.

Quote
Details and disclaimers:
1) The official procedure will work as follows:
   a) At the beginning of the contest period the current folding team stats (as seen here: http://fah-web2.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=224497) will be recorded. This will serve as a the starting or “zero point” for folders.
   b) At the ending of the contest, the folding team data will be again captured.
   c) For members that have accumulated points prior to the beginning of the start period, those point will be removed from their score, such that only points accumulated during the contest period will be counted.
   d) Folders with greater than 400,000 points will be entered into single column of a spreadsheet by points in descending order.
   e) The random number on random.org will be used to select two numbers between 1 and the total number of eligible folders.
   f) The drawn numbers will correlate to a row of the same number in the spreadsheet, indicating the winners.
   g) Winners will be announced in this thread and the corresponding thread on curecoin.us/bitcointalk.org and alerted via PM no later than 24 hours after the winners have been selected.
   h) Prizes will be shipped with 72 hours of receiving shipping details from prize winners and tracking numbers will be provided.
 
2) Vorksholk, Yeltz, and the Curecoin dev team (proper), reserve the right to make changes to the give away if deemed necessary.

3) No party shall be held liable should unforeseeable circumstances occur (e.g., loss of package in transit, technical issues with F@H, incapacitation of a contest sponser, etc).

4) The Curecoin dev team is not eligible to win the prizes.

Good luck, and have fun!

You should be all set. Vorksholk's guide is pretty straight forward, though it might take a while for your stats to update.

Happy folding, and good luck!

Excellent work everyone. I give credit to this first giveaway to Yeltz and Vorksholk, 2 of the biggest CureCoin supporters on the team ( they made this first giveaway possible). This giveaway is a good way to show that people will fold for incentive. We are currently seeing a huge spike in the team folding rate.

I have not been on the forum much, but I have done some very important work lately. To look for more up to date info search for hash tags #curecoin on Instagram. You will find some pics of me building the curecoin servers.

About halfway through the giveaway period - there's still time for folks to jump on board and earn their chance a some brand new hardware - considering there's only a few people that have thrown their hats into the ring, odds seem pretty good that any given participant could win.

Hey I got a question. My points on my F@H client say I earn 18k points each day on one card, yet when I go to the Folding stats page it appears as a 10x reduction in my points, otherwise I would already be at the half way point. Any chance that we simply need to accumulate 40,000 points on the stats page instead of 400,000?

and yeah sign me up, by the way!  jdbtracker is my ID: I've been fixing a few dead cards in the last few days to get to the jackpot, it's giving me a lot of incentive to fix my burned out cards.

If you think my efforts are worth something; I'll keep on keeping on.
