I was wondering if anyone's considered hitting this thing from the third angle. We've got GPU's hitting the folding pretty hard. We've got SHA256 ASIC's hitting the mining end pretty hard. What about a multipool so the SCRYPT ASIC's can hit the value end of things? Then all mining hardware could be used to develop and support CureCoin. Just a thought.
We have nothing useful for scrypt asics to do and it would effectively require a hard fork for nothing. Asics secure network GPUs fold Scrypt Asics would be worse at securing the network especially because their are a lot less. Scrypt Asics can't fold. |

It's a proven technique that allows Scrypt miners to apply buy pressure to coins that are otherwise unobtainable for them. It wouldn't require any change to the wallet or network. The Scrypt Miners literally just buy coins in exchange for their hashpower. |

I think BCpool last time I looks was creating 7BTC of buy pressure... That is nothing. Those multipools are basically hype machines for people that do not do the math. Sounds like it would work though. |

I do not dislike the idea. But something like that has to come from within the community. Doubt the devs have time to make such a thin seeing as their are keepin quite busy maintaining and tech supporting current flow of things... (Have to account for both the mining as well as the folding part of things.. ) Where as cinni, blackcoin or mint for that matter might have had more time after the inital pow stage. However, if you know someone with capability's to make such a thing possible. I would certainly propose it to the devs, maybe get their blessings.. And ofc invite all your scrypt asic buddy's to join the cause!  (also r3 and blackout make some valid points...but in total no one seems against it at least =)) |

Exactly. I was just trying to think of a way to include Scrypt ASIC's in this project, because I do believe it is a big exciting thing that everyone is going to want to be a part of. I also think that's been part of the CureCoin message from the beginning, they welcomed ASIC's, GPU's and CPU's, and made them all relevant to the project. Scrypt ASIC's are sort of a redheaded stepchild though, so making up some way for them to contribute would be awesome. I honestly don't think the buy pressure from a multipool is going to make a tremendous difference to the price, but it WOULD allow people that recently invested heavily into Scrypt ASIC's and become excited about the project the ability to mine CureCoins by proxy and support the project that way. GPUs should only be used for folding, and that should be made absolutely clear. |

How does an increase in SHA256 difficulty affect folders ? I completely agree about not copying the idea with under the false premise to boost value of the coin. It could have some limited effect, but MultiPools aren't going to raise the value of this coin - eventhough that's the tired stereotype that's been attached to the idea. Rather, I propose a MultiPool for an entirely different purpose: it's ability to include mining hardware that would otherwise be excluded from participating in the CureCoin project: namely Scrypt ASIC's. Anyway, I'm just tossing the idea out. It's nothing the dev's need worry about, but if the community takes hold of it it might be a good idea. Who knows? I just thought I'd throw it out there. |

After long time of waiting my first payment is arrived.
0.270088 CUR for Valid: 3822
Now I a at 70K points so I expected around to get 5 CURE for this in total now.
Curecoin is a good coin!

I think this project is too important not to take part. But the premine is an issue, and one that does concern me. |

I also wish that dev would bring more light to the whole premine thing - Starting with a blockexplorer, what sort of systems are in place to distribute the folding premine and ending with a audit from KPMG,PwC etc showing all the coins really are the property of CURECOIN LLC.
I am not trying to bash the coin but I cant see big exchanges adopting the coin or investors putting serious cash in it without some clarity on the matter.

I can't think of a better system that the dev has already implemented except maybe increasing payouts to twice a day instead of once. What I was thinking was have each minted block pay 20%(13 coins) to the block solver and 80%(52 coins) to the folding pool wallet. The folding pool wallet would still need to be tightly secured, and payouts would still need to be paid from it similar to how they are now, but there's security in the fact that if that wallet does somehow become compromised or abused then only several thousand coins are stolen before the problem can be fixed. Not 21 million coins. There's something unsettling about knowing that almost 80% of all the coins that there will ever be is just sitting pretty in a wallet somewhere. It will also make it difficult to check how many curecoins are actually in circulation - because the only way to do that is to exclude that one particular wallet, which is a little unsettling by itself. |

I dont see why mining pools couldnt give 80% of the coins to a centralized folding pool ?
I also wish that dev would bring more light to the whole premine thing - Starting with a blockexplorer, what sort of systems are in place to distribute the folding premine and ending with a audit from KPMG,PwC etc showing all the coins really are the property of CURECOIN LLC.
I am not trying to bash the coin but I cant see big exchanges adopting the coin or investors putting serious cash in it without some clarity on the matter.
Would you trust the pool op to do it? If I were to solo mine with say 10th/s (which is possible by renting on betarigs or leaserig), I would have 1/10 of the network (100 th/s last I saw). What's to stop me from hoarding the coins and not passing them along to the folding pool? |

Im no economist or legalist for that matter.. so excuse me it it is a silly question... but having all coins the property of curecoin llc...couldnt that mean i could have to sumit my hard earned curecoins to curecoin llc at any time? |
