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

[Pearls Before Swine]

Just about anyone who plays with alts has doge and you are not getting hit with the insane BTC tx fees.

I did play around with dogecoin some years ago, but it isn't a coin that I've held in any quantity since about 2016.  Looks like the market for all the coins listed on shorelinecrypto is pretty thin, but now that you got CURE listed there I'm hoping that changes and that they don't just go out of business suddenly. 

Not that hard to get ahold of some dogecoin, which I did and deposited it on shorelinecrypto for some CURE.  Too bad there's only 1 sell order right now and its for 30 dogecoin/CURE and that's too high.  There have to be far more people interested in buying & selling CURE, because protein folders are earning it with the Curecoin team.  They must all have Bittrex accounts I'm assuming but I wish there was an efficient way to spread the news about you getting it listed on a new exchange.

I posted on their discord channel as did honglu69 who runs the exchange.
The Pharmacist posted on their main forum.
Going to have to get to

twitter : https://twitter.com/CureCoin_Team
reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/curecoin/
facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Curecoin/

Just going to take a little time to get the word out.
Not to mention between Christmas / New Years / everything else going on there are probably fewer people actively looking at some of this stuff at the moment.

edit: there are no sell orders at the moment (9PM EST 29-Dec) the ones @30 & @35 both sold.

I am curious, if I run Nvidia GTX 1050 card 24 hours a day folding@home for curecoin, how much CURE I can earn on this GPU per day?

Not much. I have a pair of GTX 1660 and I'm getting ~4.5 a day
If you are in it just for profit there are betting things to mine.
But, it's the it's for a good cause, not just burning electricity to mine.
A mid range CPU will not get you much, but it will draw a lot less power.

Got it, yes, this is quite expensive way of earning, essentially donating to the good cause. Just did a benchmark,
1660 card is about 2.2x faster than 1050, you have two GTX 1660 on 4.5 CURE a day, equivalent of 1 CURE for GTX 1050 card.
This would be well below electricity cost.

You could probably earn far more than that by staking so long as you have enough in your wallet, and given that the price of a single CURE is around 7 cents it isn't that costly to acquire a lot of it.  

That's if you can find an exchange to buy it on, tho.  I am still awaiting some sell orders on shorelinecrypto, and my instincts are telling me that there have to be some F@H participants on the Curecoin team who want to sell their CURE.  They must all be doing it on Bittrex I'm assuming, because there aren't many other options.  Hope you guys' efforts to get the word out about shoreline lead to a more liquid market there, as it's very dead at the moment.

As much as I like CURE, I'm way more interested in the science that's being done with the distributed computing of F@H.  That's why I do it, not for the paltry CURE that I earn.  I just got a HP mini PC and set it up to fold, and I think it'll be worth about 60,000 points per day.  On my main desktop with an old graphics card, I'm doing about 100k points per day, tho it varies.  With just the desktop, that translated to about 0.3 CURE per day.  Whoop-de-doo.

For a PC with 0.3 CURE per day or equivalent of 9 doge per day, that is surely burning cash.  PC cost electricity per day is about 90 doge per day.

That would be true if I was only using it to fold and earn CURE, but I'm not.  It was on 24/7 before I started with the folding project, so earning crypto by staking and helping the folding @ home project is just a little extra computing power and I'm not worried about it.

If you just wanted to stake CURE or any other proof of stake coin you could do so on a raspberry pi, laptop, or whatever computer you have running.  I don't think it uses much *extra* electricity to stake coins, tho it does use a lot to participate in the folding project.  That's OK, tho.  As I said I am not in this for the money primarily but to help scientists fight diseases by contributing some of my computing power.  I fell in love with the project the moment I read about it, which was admittedly years too late but so be it.

I posted in BayAreaCoins' thread about getting Curecoin listed on his exchange, and he said he'd consider it.  We shall see what comes of that.

I like everything I see here... we should be able to list this no problem.

I'll speak with Xploited today when he wakes up.

Edit:  2% of the total reward was distributed to people who donated to project development. The other 3% is dedicated to Curecoin developers

Who are these folks ^ are they still around?

Awesome!  Check your PO box in the next couple of weeks--this isn't a bribe or payment to list Curecoin, just a gift which I'm sure you already know the nature of.  But man, the mail has been moving at 1/2 a snail's pace lately and some of the letters I've sent out never even arrived.  The USPS must be in serious trouble.

Who are these folks ^ are they still around?

If you're talking about the Curecoin team, I have no idea.  A lot of links on the Curecoin website are dead, which leads me to believe that there's not much developing going on.  But it's still an excellent coin because of what it stands for, which is a reward for helping the scientific community crunch numbers.  DaveF might have a better idea, but I'm not sure.

No idea if they are around or not.
But I can say they have not reached out to me despite a few attempts at pinging them.
At a guess, it's all a side project for them and they get to stuff when they get to it.
OR
They only respond to communication from certain places that I have not found yet.

As others have pointed out above, if you are going to use video cards / your PC to mine there are many much more profitable things to mine.
If you are going to use them to run folding@home anyway because it really is a worthwhile project, then it throws off a few pennies a day and why not.

If they're not active anymore, did they set the CURE payouts for folding to autopilot or something?  Obviously people are still earning CURE through the folding at home program, and it has to be paid out by some mechanism.

I am very interested in this, so please keep this thread updated if you glean any more information about the team's response to the shorelinecrypto listing or anything else.

I just visited it, including the section for exchanges and I'm not noticing anything new.  Is there something new?

I got a reply from someone that they were going to add the info when the site came back online.
Was not sure if it was real or not as it was not from a curecoin address.
I can't get to it from here, so I hoped that it was real and they added shoreline.

Ah well.

-Dave

[Pearls Before Swine]

When has the site been offline?  I've visited it a number of times in the past few weeks and it has been functioning fine as far as I can see.  As of today, shorelinecrypto still hasn't been added. 

That would mean either you were chatting with an impersonator or that they simply haven't gotten around to adding the exchange to their site yet.  Does that make sense?  How likely would it be that someone would lie about who they were with respect to being a part of the CURE team?

[DaveF]

I got a DM on discord about it, but it was not from a user I recognized so I just ignored it at 1st, when I finally read it it mentioned the site being offline and the adding of the coin.
Checked the site and it was indeed offline, so I figured might be true.

I'm hoping CURE doesn't go the way of folding coin (FLDC) which I just looked up on coinmarketcap and found it to be 'delisted' which I take to mean that it's completely dead.
The lack of meaningful communication from the CURE team doesn't exactly give me hope, nor the fact that a lot of links on their site are dead.  

Is it possible to do something along the lines of a 'hostile takeover' in crypto?  CURE should be so much more significant than it is, and just going by the number of folders on the CURE team (27779) there have to be quite a few people who own it.  

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I finally staked some Curecoin after waiting what seemed like forever, so at least for today I'm a happy man. 

It was also in their Twitter feed:
https://twitter.com/CureCoin_Team/status/1345135595744419840

I don't use Twitter, but the site is up.  What's the difference between following and followers in the Curecoin team's stats?  It looks like they have quite a few followers in any case, though you never know if those are real or not.

And yeah, I'm also worried about Curecoin going bust--I don't own a ton of it, but it's one of those coins that I've sort of fallen in love with, and there have only been a handful of those in all the time I've been interested in crypto.  I'd really hate to see it become one of those 1-satoshi wonders that end up on Yobit being given away as freebies. 

Dave, would it make sense to notify sites like Coinmarketcap and Coingecko that Curecoin is listed on Shorelinecrypto?
