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

[ranlo]

Hi. So far I've completed 6 WUs for the Curecoin F@H team. I haven't been credited with any coins. It's been over 24 hours since I completed my first WU. My cryptobullionpools account has exactly the same user name as my Curecoin F@H account including the right capitalization. I created this account just before I started folding. Is something wrong or should I wait more?

Based on what I've seen from past posts, it can take up to 72 hours to be credited. I'm not sure if there's a way to see a more up-to-date view of whether or not you're accurately earning (or how much) though.

Wait until the data appears on stanford's folding at home page for your username. If you have points here then within 24 hours you should see points on cryptobullionpools.com. Then you will be paid out within 24 hours from that.

Thanks for that. Can you also clarify something for me?

I'm folding at the moment. I have an ETA of 3.5 days for my current project. But it says "TPF: 50 minutes." What is the TPF?

TPF = time it takes to complete 1%.


That's quite a long TPF, what GPU do you have, and how many estimated points is the project?

Ah, it's because I'm running other things atm as well. I won't be able to straight up fold for another 3 days or so. I was just testing it out to see how it all works, .

Thanks for the clarification!

(And fwiw, that's worth 3k PPD)

just curious what kind of ressource do you need to get 500curecoins per day with folding at home ?

Something like scrypt 100 MH/s

False. Scrypt isn't used for this cryptocurrency.


500 coins a day means 6.7% of all the coins released in a day 14.8 million points per day.


A single quad 780 ti rig could get 1 million points per day (slightly less) so you would need 15 of these.

So a single 780ti gets 250k ppd?

I meant the hardware needed to get 100 MH/s with scrypt... But actually i was way off, AMD-wise it should be 30 R9 280x

You're way off, a single R9 280x gets around 120k ppd on avarage, which would mean you'll need around 120 to get 14.8 million ppd

Make DAMN SURE you have the proper team entered.  Not on the Curecoin team (224497) , you're just charity folding.

You should wait atleast 1 more day, my first points started to show up after about 48-72 hours.

You're way off, a single R9 280x gets around 120k ppd on avarage, which would mean you'll need around 120 to get 14.8 million ppd

290x gets close to 200k, 290 can do 170k, 780ti can get in spitting distance of 300k PPD with the right project.

I get 600k+ PPD out of a 4x 290 rig, 450k+ out of a 2x 780ti rig, 450k+ PPD out of a 4x 280x rig, and about 280k PPD out of a 4x 270 (non-x) rig.  

About 2.1 million PPD for all my rigs (290 rig, 280x rig, 780ti rig, and two 270 rigs), according to the FaH client (all rigs added to the client via remote), and that matches really damn close to my actual PPD by the time you factor time lost for new work and the odd glitch.  On scrypt, that combo of rigs is about 11mhs, just to put it in perspective.

And on my best day that earned me 67 coins.   So those guys pulling down 400-500 are throwing some serious hash (er, folding) power at Curecoin.

Probably not using GPU's but servers instead like the ones mentioned in this guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=604172 (Or their own servers obviously)

clever

just not clear on why people would hold curecoin

for the previously purely altruistic protein folders, there is only incentive to sell

buying curecoin doesn't support protein folding or scientific research except in a stretch of the imagination that a higher priced curecoin helps donations (more selling)


please explain why this won't be worth 2 satoshis in a month

if it's worth only 2 satoshi nobody would fold because they wouldn't recoup their electricity costs

so yes, people have to buy the coin to support folding

they would have to, but why would they

as with all coins, miners are dumping the coin on exchanges, and now we have new protein folders dumping coins

it is not uncommon to see a coin's price fall out of sync with base costs

so I get the concept behind curecoin, but what supports the price ?


some coins have price support by requiring coins to be held for ongoing perks, essentially removing coins from circulation. other coins have other forms of utility


here we have some kind of merge mining protein folding, a somewhat interesting distribution method for coins between cpu/gpu and sha256 asics, but nothing that makes it seem stable

so now altruism has been further thinned out between protein folding AND supporting the currency (so that others can cash out). When I was reading the OP I was looking for that "AHA!" moment to see how the protein folders contribute to the curecoin price, just like how the curecoin financial incentive contributes to more hash rate for the protein folding... to create a feedback loop. But this doesn't exist.

just off the top of my head, maybe to contribute to protein folding cpu/gpu holders need to own X amount of curecoin. In turn they'll get the folding points or whatever as well as more curecoin. Obviously this idea isn't refined, and flawed because cpu/gpu holders are the least likely to be able to have value to exchange for the coin, compared to the expensive ASIC owners.. but the concept is that the extra perk of the coin requires removing some of the coin from circulation, improving scarcity and price and WORTH.

I guess that in the future projects that need computing power will have to compete (maybe by paying the devs). It's said that other scientific projects can be easily added. Maybe there will be many? Or maybe there will be many curecoins for many projects?

Anyway by selling or purchasing the coin, private firm/labs will be able to control the points their project is receiving. I think it's easier than renting machines or just waiting for altruist minds. For that same purpose, these firms will have the incentive to promote the coin and could propose services paid in curecoin.

I've pledged another 50CURE for the logo bounty bringing the total up to 300CURE!

Nice - thank you for your work with this - looking forward to seeing how this goes.

It wouldn't be by paying the devs but we could always add more work in the cure. Their could eventually be many for example we could soon make a curecoin boinc team find the difference in how hard the points are to earn and open a boinc team which will tie us to many more projects.

I like the idea of using curecoin to pay for research.


This coins extremely cheap now I think I'll buy a few hundred tomorrow.

NO kidding.....
Down 30%+ today

just curious what kind of ressource do you need to get 500curecoins per day with folding at home ?

Based on what I have and what I receive you would need approximately 31 R9 290X's and non-bottlenecking CPU's to drive them to get around 500 CureCoins as of today.

I would double that (at least... around 70gpu). I have 1 gtx780ti and 1 R9 290x, got today 10cure (but I registered only 300k over my nominal ppd which is between higher 450k and 500k... some problems on my side (so to speak... the gtx780ti being switched with the 750ti on new job...) and some long job which didn't make it to the deadline).

just curious what kind of ressource do you need to get 500curecoins per day with folding at home ?

I'm running 15 R9 290X TRIX's and one GTX 590 spread out over 9 machines.  7 of the machines have two R9 290X TRIX's in them.  One old machine has a single R290X TRIX and another old machine has the GTX 590.

That gets me around 3 million PPD and todays payout was 100 CureCoins.  So it looks to me like you would need somewhere along the lines of 75 R9 290X's and the CPU's to drive them without bottlenecking and of course with more folding power being added all the time the payouts will continue to decline.

GAH.  I immediately deleted the message when I put it out and you already had it quoted.  lol  oops!  See my retyped post above and I agree.  It would be 70+ GPU's.

Great coin, but are the devs going to pitch the coin to store owners so that i have somewhere to spend them?

The devs, and the community, are always on the lookout for store opportunities. If you know someone who might accept cure send them a message!

I am too fast 

[Aggrophobia]

so there is no PR, makes me sad :/

[Aggrophobia]

and it will be hard to survice since there are now 20 "coins" created every day

remembering the old times when there were only 15 at all
