[ANN] CureCoin 2.0 is live - Mandatory Update is available now - DEC 2018

[cryptonit]

very complictaed stuff that 2 coin solution
as i understajnd u wanted to keep miners and folders happy

so why not make just CC2 30% blocks POW blocks and 70% blocks folding blocks?

why two coins?

i think with such a solution u still can keep the non centralized solution fans happy

if u make only the POW part mechanic decide about the true chain

this way certificates used to secure injection of bad folding blocks

but the power about what is the true chain is still on POW and decentralized

update: regarding wasting energy and POW the way to create no additional waste is to use merged mining
this way no additional energy have to be burned

but i still think POW is just a bad choice

a block consensus like in NEM/XEM is ideal no waste of power
and none of pure POS flaws inside
in fact i think the most advances blockchain consence mechanism in existence

details u can find in whitepaper area "prove of importance"

So, status update:

In the next ~24 hours, we're gonna release a testnet of SigmaX, which will be using a CPU-mined SHA256. I really like the idea of hard-drive mining, so I'm aiming to switch out the SHA256 to hard-drive mining for SigmaX's next testnet release. We'll do a bit of testing on this thread first, and when it seems ready we'll make a separate thread dedicated to SigmaX.

CC2 algo will stay the same, SHA256?

No sha256 is for SigmaX testnet only, CC2.0 will use certificate system no Pow.

Since the thread is busy right now I'd like to get some content out here. Please consider joining curecoin.net/forum to be more involved in the curecoin community for future posts, suggestions, etc.

First off, I'd like to cover the attempt to expand the core team. It was recently said that there have been no efforts to expand the team, and that many people would be willing to work with us for free because curecoin is an interesting project. This has certainly not been the case thus far, I have reached out to a lot of people via bitcointalk, linkedin, and various other channels only to find the only people offering help are far from ready to offer that help for free. With the recent change in market movement and the soon coming launch of the SigmaXcoin beta (likely tonight) I figured this is the best time to extend the offer once again to the community to join the core team. If you are interested in joining the core team please head over to the curecoin.net/forum and post there with what type of skills you want to offer to the curecoin project. Anyone who is accepted into the core team will be paid with curecoin, and possibly btc also depending on the work rendered. Web design, logo design, C developers, Java developers, and social media marketers are just a few of the things we are looking to expand.

It's been recently proposed that Team Curecoin is selling itself short by focusing too much on donations to Stanford's folding@home servers and other charities. Due to funds being appropriated to those causes it was simply what needed to be done, however we are going to start taking a much different approach to this. Starting today curecoin donations will be sold off in a few test crowd sales to see how the reception is on bitcointalk forum with this method. The first few crowd sales will be small and capped in value, again this is to test the reception of this on bitcointalk forum vs using various other crowdfunding sites. One of the large factors is this is the ability to accept bitcoin without having a 3rd party involved, because I think everyone on this forum can agree its best to keep your balances in secure cryptocurrency wallets without the meddling hands of a 3rd party and their high fiat money handling fees.

The 3 test crowd sales will be for the following items;

1. Overall development of Curecoin including websites, social media, promotional materials (pretty much everything already listed in the uses for the developer fund)

2. Fundraisers that have curecoins already donated to them, including
     a.ANTRUK: Learn More on the ANTRUK homepage. http://www.antibioticresearch.org.uk/
     b.Bonfils: Learn More on the Bonfils Blood Center homepage. http://www.bonfils.org/index.cfm/medical-services/research/

By participating in these crowd sales you will not only be contributing to the above list including curecoin development you will also be rewarded in curecoins. This will also help us unload these coins without saturating the market therefor encouraging more folding to earn curecoins which is the main goal of curecoin. With that said, for those who have not been watching the market, the recent price spikes are showing that it is currently profitable to fold proteins and contribute to medical research! This is the "synergistic tipping point" of the scarcity of curecoin driving more research to be done for the profitable rewards all the while knowing that your computational cycles are not just burning electricity on random numbers. Speaking of scarcity, Curecoin will be 2 years old on May 10 2016, which will mark its halfway point to block halving.

Vorksholk just said he is anticipating being ready to launch the SigmaXcoin beta around midnight Eastern Standard time. I will be preparing for that, we will likely have a google hangout / skype chat group for people to join the "beta launch party". I also hope to have the first crowd sale test runs listed today.

Don't forget to join the curecoin community at https://www.curecoin.net/forum !

Cheers and happy folding

any word when the snap shot date is yet?

any word when the snap shot date is yet?

The snapshot will probably be done on a weekly basis after SigmaX launch, continuing for a year. The first one won't be until SigmaX launches, which won't be until Curecoin 2.0 launches, so fairly far away.

[djnocide]

Getting people involved because they believe in the project is really hard. Good luck on that, curecoin is a good crypto and the devs are working hard.

The project needs to appear to be alive. That is very important.

Oh i see how far is fairly far away? what % complete is it?

So  sigmax test net today? so can people be working on clones from today or not?

Target Launch for Curecoin 2.0 is May - June. Vorksholk is extremely skilled with block chain tech so the best move for any developers that want to get into this will be to contribute to his project as he continues to develop it. The genesis block has been mined on an internal testnet for the beta launch of SigmaXcoin. If all goes as planned the beta launch will happen in about 2 hours.

To attract attention it needs to.
Don't have enough skills to help you

This sounds more like it. Glad curecoin is making a return.

This is the kickoff to the crowd sale test runs to get a feel for how well this will work on bitcointalk and curecoin.net/forum.

Before it begins please know that all round 1 contributions MUST be posted on https://www.curecoin.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3902&p=5659#p5658 for approval, any unapproved contributions will not be awarded in curecoin.

This is a proactive way of dealing with the large amount of curecoin in donation wallets without saturating the market. Since this will sovle a lot of market saturation issues it can be expected that the price of curecoin will now follow the basic scarcity model as it is intended. Total BTC maximum is 5 BTC in round 1.

The first crowd sale will be for Curecoin development. 10,000 Curecoins will be divided up among the contributors. Minimum contribution in round 1 is 0.25 BTC. Minimum goal for release of curecoins to contributors is 2.5 BTC. This will be round 1 of roughly 45 rounds spread over time (again depending on response).

After this there will be a curecoin crowd sale for ;
 a.ANTRUK: Learn More on the ANTRUK homepage. http://www.antibioticresearch.org.uk/
     b.Bonfils: Learn More on the Bonfils Blood Center homepage. http://www.bonfils.org/index.cfm/medical-services/research/

This will repeat if the response is good. If you are interested please head over to https://www.curecoin.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3902&p=5659#p5658
Create a login if you do not have one. The crowd sale is going to be hosted on curecoin.net to keep the event orginazed and bring some traffic to the curecoin forum. Bitcointalk private messages can be utilized also if need be.

Nice to see the progress!

Regarding the crowd sale:

If I got things right, even the minimum goal of 2.5 BTC would mean to pay 0,00025 BTC per CureCoin.

With the current exchange rate being 0.00007413 BTC, why would anyone buy from the overpriced crowd sale?

Going a bit under the actual exchange rate with your crowd sale would lead to much more success imo.

Hope my input helps - what do you think?

Your logic makes sense from the viewpoint of many of the profit seekers that alt coins try to leverage. If we wanted to sell under market value we could just go to the exchanges though  . This is intended for people looking to support curecoin while getting a chance to invest at the same time, much like a kick starter. That is the backup plan since kick starter investors like a creative idea to fund, I thought it was best to offer it directly to the BTC community first. 

On a not terribly important side note, you would be well up into the 8k - 9k sats range to buy a full 10k curecoin right now all at once.

The first beta of SigmaX TESTNET is available: http://1.curecoinmirror.com/sigmax/SigmaXTestnetBeta1.zip

As usual, this isn't mining for profit. These testnet coins are worthless.

Expect stuff to be broken. Currently, the miner dies after it gets one block, I'm way too tired to troubleshoot multithreaded applications, so that's on the docker for the next few days.
Try to break stuff, let me know when it does.

The download contains the daemon, command-line client, and the miner. On Windows, you can just double-click. On linux/mac, open a terminal, cd to the containing directory, and use "java -jar xxx.jar" where xxx.jar is the jarfile you want to run.

If you want to compile the source yourself, the source for all of the jar files are in a folder titled "Source."

Thanks for testing!!

Many thanks to Vorksholk for making the time to release this tonight! I just downloaded the link and fired it up, I was actually able to mine a few blocks without a crash. Give it a try and see what you think. As he had mentioned expect some bugs in the miner for this initial release ( just restart it if it crashes ). To find your address, just go into the folder that will be created in the same directory as the java files, the directory name in there will be your SigmaXcoin address. Post your addresses so we can send some transactions

Congratulations to Vorksholk for pushing out new code!  

After downloading and unzipping, I tried to run the client by double-clicking SigmaXTestnetClientv1.0.0b1.jar on my Windows 10 computer within Windows Explorer (Exploder!) , but the cursor just whirs for a moment, then nothing happens.  Am I missing something?

I get the same result for SigmaXTestnetDaemonv1.0.0b1.jar and SigmaXTestnetMinerv1.0.0b1.jar.
