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

[BayAreaCoins]

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?

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.

Perhaps the current community could release a fork scrubbing that dev tax then?

Or do the devs have a good history?

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.

Merry Christmas and thank you very much!

The have been around for a while, same team more or less since 2014.
Remember, it's the holidays so they might be busy with that entire real life thing.
I would not want to kill the dev tax or anything else. People are not mining this coin for a profit, but for a good cause. The money is secondary. IF they need funding for something let them have it.

I agree with Dave on this issue.  3% dev tax is still within range of reasonable amount funding for dev.  This coin is for the good cause, and curecoin seems to be doing a good job of rewarding and incentivizing donations for science.  This is first time I heard of this coin CURE since Dave listed it at shorelinecrypto.  For what it is doing for science and good cause, curecoin dev team has been doing good job in my take over past several days studying this coin. I am for the first time start folding on my GPU too supporting science.  

To be honestly blunt, I know my opinion may not be liked by many. Although this coin is great for PoS rewarding for the good cause, may not be great as investment coin.  You want to invest with a coin with decentralized PoW coin with limited supply like litecoin/dogecoin.  CURE is quite centralized controled by one group in Stanford, and performance from 2014 was not great.  I am shameless touting decentralized PoW coin that I support here:  "Nengcoin (NENG) - Dogecoin on Steroids" if someone is really into an investment coin alternative.  CURE is not it.

My only thought is that perhaps if they got in a car crash or something, it would kind of suck to burn 3%... when rather we could redirect that 3% or cancel it so it could actually be used.

But I'm cool with that too.

They will probably pop up eventually.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I am for the first time start folding on my GPU too supporting science.  

Lol, that's awesome!  It really is a great project.  I used to do a little lab science but never advanced my education far enough to really contribute to anything.  The very least I can do now is donate some computing power to those in the medical field who need it.  That's how I see it anyway.

To be honestly blunt, I know my opinion may not be liked by many. Although this coin is great for PoS rewarding for the good cause, may not be great as investment coin.

I respect your opinion and wouldn't want anything but an honest one anyway.  This thread is dead except for a few of us posting right now, and it would suck if it turned into a rah-rah, go-Curecoin to da moon kind of thread, sort of like an echo chamber for Curecoin bulls (if they even exist anymore).

The F@H project is uppermost in my mind, not Curecoin necessarily.  I'd agree that it probably isn't a good long-term investment, but I thank you and DaveF for getting it listed.

Hello All,

Question, I have an old Curecoin wallet on a PC. Went to fire it up and sync after probably a year. I get this error? "Error loading blkindex.dat" Not sure what is going on with this or how to resolve this? I tried also downloading a new wallet thinking it was out of date but still get same error. So not sure what version I have or how to troubleshoot now.....

Any help would be great!

Thanks

[DaveF]

Your block index file is corrupted.

Close the client, go to C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Roaming\curecoin and delete everything in the folder except for wallet.dat - do not delete wallet.dat or any other wallet file ever under any circumstances!

Make a backup of the wallet.dat file too.

Then re-open the client. It will have to re-download the entire blockchain.

There are ways to try to repair it, but it's probably not worth the time. It's not a large blockchain to download again.

Thank You Dave!

That seems to be working, it loaded with all my coins in the unconfirmed while it gets connected and redownloads the chain. I was looking for info the other day in the other drives where all of the wallets reside and actually the coin wallet is in that drive but forgot some of these wallets use the "appdata\roaming" to store the settings. So that probably confuses things cause the shortcut is G:\Wallet\Curecoin\curecoin-qt_Windows_v2.0.0.2. Just thought I would post that incase anyone else stores wallets away from the C: drive.... or at least tries too!

Thanks again!

[Lighthousesat]

Just an update and new question, The wallet sync up good! Now all the coins are stuck in staking? How do I transfer them to my usable account to send to exchange? Currently I can't cause balance says zero....

Thanks

Is this project a scam?

I mean taco and the other one said there would be an airdropped quantum resistant coin ...that was airdropped a few years back but instantly broke and forked?

What happened to fixing it ?

Is there  a dev tax and how many btc did they raise at the start?

What development has their been in all these years?

This is one of the most disappointing projects of all time here.

Someone should take this over and give it a serious upgrade.
There is so much more that could be done with smart contracts and nfts for folding achievements.

Taco and the other lay about should do something hand it and all the btc over to some people that can take the project seriously.

I mean doing dev work on other projects and giving the bird to people that paid to suppor this projects it fucked up.

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.

Foldingcoin is not completely dead, they need help with migrating to another blockchain. Here is a quote from their discord channel:

We would like to resume distributions (and do make up distributions) once we have moved off BTC, but there is no ETA for this, and lots of work is needed to make that happen. I currently don't have time to do everything myself on top of my full-time job that has only gotten worse with corporate mergers where I work and the pandemic.

Exactly, there have been a lot of coins that have been delisted that have either come back or are slowly coming back.
It's a lot of work for both the developers and the supporters of the coin. Remember the 1st post in this thread is close to 7 years old at this point.

The foldingcoin thread ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=781352.0 ) is a little bit younger and the last post was a year ago but as xandry pointed out they are still posting in discord.

Both coins will continue to move along so long as we as a community continue to support them.

There are lots of better coins, useful coins, that never got traction because their users do not spam the public with nonsense, as supporters of nonproductive coins do.

Maybe a solution is to form a consortium/mafia of productive algorithm coins, some online space where that type of coin is encouraged, like an exchange that trades only useful algorithm coins.

As far as I know the only exchange that offers some guidance to new users with respect to the 'objective' quality of a coin is Kucoin, and they have been successful.

~

The digital economy is not one coin, and no group of supporters of one coin are going to move forward unless they use some sort of strategy.

Whether they use a scammy pump strategy, like bitcoin, ethereum, monero etc, or a more long term strategy, like forming a consortium such as an exchange, there has to be something.

Folding Pool Distributions are Caught Up (and Curecoin Website Updated)

Many folders have experienced delayed Curecoin distributions over the past couple of weeks. The problem with the folding pool has been identified, folder database rebuilt, and you should be seeing distributions arriving in your wallet again. We apologize for this delay in processing.

CygnusXI stated:

"Normal operation have resumed" and "I have been making a lot of backend updates going live with this patch. Enhanced stat tracking and history will be added to the folding pool [page], along with a much cleaner stats dashboard … main bug fix with the pool right now should be resolved … lots of work has gone into [the pool] this year, prepping for upcoming modernization efforts… and for those who chose the cloud folding option"

While you're checking your wallet balance, please also check out our updated website at www.curecoin.net … there's still some lose ends [legacy blog and PR releases need to be re-created in the new format], but we think you'll enjoy the new look. Fold On!

if you are still experiencing a deficit in your wallet, please join the Curecoin Discord: https://discord.gg/jtztkFZ (perma-link) ... make sure you verify your account first in the #verify-here channel: Use c/verify then enter your concern in the #support channel ...

Curecoin Team Member Produced Quick Start Guides

We’ve had feedback from would-be participants, that our Knowledge Base tutorials, FAQs and detailed instructions are a bit intimidating (since we try to cover ALL caveats in one document - including merge-folding which is not included here).

Rather than rework our legacy articles which are still very useful, we’ve started a collection of fan-produced videos which make getting started with Folding@home and Curecoin simple, fun and entertaining. While these may not cover every possible scenario, or everything that might go wrong during setup – they will put you on the fast track to start earning CURE tokens with Folding@home.

Just a reminder curecoin is on Exchange Shut Down
It's at a higher price then on bittrex but shoreline has no KYC, low withdraw fees and the person who runs it is active on the forum.

I have poked around getting it listed on other exchanges since livecoin.net exit scammed but no luck so far.
