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

[Vorksholk]

While obviously not a "valid" thing to do:

Code:

submitblock 1503549351863:4:000000004CD8AF81DA2019F24207545DFDD3F97651A
E500CEBB361FE897E82E8:500000000

rather than

Code:

1503549351863:4:000000004CD8AF81DA2019F24207545DFDD3F97651A

will crash the client and leave the following in the daemon:

Code:

Thanks for the bug report! Noted.

Here's a version that should fix this bug:

Still, despite his huge firepower, it would take him about 30 years to take over Ed...

 You're assuming Ed won't add more rigs to fight off the challenge.
 He's done so before.

Way to go, Curecoin! Congrats!

Hi everyone!

As part of the celebration for Team Curecoin's eminent taking the #1 rank on the Folding@Home project, I've been giving away CURE in the Hangouts and Slack channels.

I thought I'd add here to the giveaway.  

For my part of the celebration, I'm giving away a total of 350 CURE, 50 per day leading up to when the team takes first place.  50 CURE works out to be what you would currently be awarded daily for the work of approximately 6 GTX 1080 Ti vidia cards.

So far I've given away 150 CURE to members on the chat.  Today I'm offering up 50 CURE for tomorrow's prize!

To be eligible to win, all you have to do is send me a PM on here with the name of the other Folding@Home project that is working with Curecoin to allow merged folding so that you receive BOTH tokens for the same work.  I'll announce the winner tomorrow night at 9PM Eastern Time.

...50 CURE works out to be what you would currently be awarded daily for the work of approximately 6 GTX 1080 Ti vidia cards...

Or what 1 1080 non-Ti earned a few months ago  

[tls2000]

True, but the value of the coin is so much higher than it was months ago.

Poloniex did a lot of damage when they delisted CURE.  I think the value would be higher if they hadn't announced that they were dropping CURE with little warning or explanation.

Hey everyone, he's a sneak-peak at cc2.0 beta for anyone who's interested!
...
Here be dragons:
-Nodes sometimes desync, especially on flaky internet
-Sending tons of transactions is a good way to crash the client

If you get a crash or anything, please give us the stack trace or relevant part of the log.

As you mentioned, you can get things out of sync. Adding the new block from the network says failure:

[CryptoCanary]

Very much still a work in progress, a staking indicator for Curecoin...



No ETA as of this time.

Progress update:



EDIT: this is a test wallet with very few coins and little coin age on them, hence the little weight.

[bardacuda]

Can someone from the team explain a bit how the "folding" blocks are created and distributed in CC 2.0?

My understanding is that there will be no more need for a pre-mined amount that requires someone to distribute it; but that it will be based on certificates issued by Stanford (for folding work) and Berkeley, or whoever else (for BOINC projects and other work); and so coins will only be created as blocks are "mined".
But, without getting too technical, how does the network interact with the certificate authorities to decide what address to award a block to? Will each authority have to maintain their own "pool" in a sense? If so, how would each so-called pool be weighted?

Also will there still be a portion of rewards that go to ASIC miners for traditional PoW mining?

Thanks, and great job! Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. It would be awesome if pointing rigs toward scientific research was the most profitable thing to do (or at least on par) and everyone starts doing it.

P.S. I don't know if you'll have an answer for this one, but will distributed AI research projects be one of the things you can do for rewards? Seems there would be a huge demand for this kind of research, both right now and for the foreseeable future.

Thanks again!

Good question! Yes, certificate authorities will sign certificates which certify that a particular user (as identified by a Curecoin address) did a certain quantity of work. The certificate gives a range of nonces that that user is allowed to try mining with, and if they get a nonce in the provided range that, when combined with the previous block hash (as defined by the certificate), and their address (as defined by the certificate), they are allowed to make a block.

Obviously still a fairly centralized solution, but the design of the certificate system does mean that no signature authority can know ahead-of-time whether a particular certificate they issue will mine a valid block or not.

There will not be any traditional PoW mining on this network.

Not sure about the distributed AI research, but if it is related to medicine, there's a good chance Curecoin would adopt the DCN sometime in the future

...50 CURE works out to be what you would currently be awarded daily for the work of approximately 6 GTX 1080 Ti vidia cards...

Or what 1 1080 non-Ti earned a few months ago  

 More like a year ago.

 This sounds like you're now expecting Folders to mine as well to get our rewards?

 Or am I being confused?

Folders will also 'mine' but in a similar way to PoS (as far as how many computations are done). The certificate might give, say, 400,000 nonces for 8 hours of folding work, but the miner could run through those 400,000 nonces on a CPU in far less than a single second.

Well medicine is just one (but certainly not the only) field that can greatly benefit from AI, so it is related. Anyhow I was just curious. Thanks for the response!

For the way the mining works, I think it sounds pretty good. Obviously it can't be completely decentralized since the computations have to be something useful to a scientist/lab/institution and are going to be highly specific to the research project. I don't know how you would make a generalized PoW algorithm that produces useful work for a wide range of research projects. Anyhow, the more projects/certificate authorities there are to choose from, the more decentralized it would be. Even with just F@H issuing certificates for now, it sounds like it will still be way more trustless than the current system of millions of premined coins.

Will folders be able to pool their certificates so they won't have to 'solo mine' an entire block to get rewards?

Yup, exactly! Someone has to decide what constitutes an "interesting" computational problem to solve, the closest we can really get would be things like prime number searches or looking for insight into problems like the Collatz Conjecture, with very well-known properties.

And yes, it will be possible to pool mine with the certificate system.

Does it mean that folders will have to run a specific mining software to perform that task?
Or will it be included in the wallet?
And what if somebody doesn't want to keep his wallet "open"/online fulltime?
If the computer/rig holding that software crashes, will the folder lose the coins corresponding to what he folded during the crash if the computer isn't rebooted?
Will it be possible to have several instances of that mining software running in parallel on different computers/rigs to prevent this problem?

Oh and by the way, what about SigmaX? Will it finally also be released? Do you have more information about the distribution process?

Lots of questions

The folder will not necessarily have to run specific mining software, since they could opt to join a pool instead (where their certificate goes to the pool, and an 'extraData' section of the certificate becomes the worker, or similar).

If they want to 'solo-fold' then they'll have to run a small additional 'bridge' software or similar, which receives the certificates and tries to process them. Most likely, this will be part of the Curecoin wallet itself, which would need to be open for solo folding.

There is a potential for downtime being an issue if, immediately before or upon receipt of a certificate, the client crashed and was unable to actually mine with the certificate (and the network passes them by, creating other valid blocks instead). There would be the option for serious folders to have some redundancy system wherein all certificates mined by a particular individual would be sent to multiple machines which all attempt mining. This wouldn't increase any mining odds, but only prevent a system's failure from interfering with mining a block using an awarded certificate.

Not sure what exactly SigmaX will look like, but it's still on the docket. Basically cc2.0 but with the certificate system replaced by traditional PoW. It'll be released after cc2.0, and the distribution is still up for discussion (although we'd like to give SigmaX tokens to existing Curecoin holders, perhaps similar to the Byteball distribution mechanism?).

Good to see you back active here. Cure coin needs an active well known developer to install some confidence in the future of the project.
