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

[r3animation]

Wasn't even aware of this coin until now after searching for some new sha256d coins to mine on seems a nice coin and doing something for curing. But is anything actually going towards the cause and been donated to them or is this just marketing to cure for cancer but not actually helping the cause. I have seen many coins with stuff like this in the past and they never actually did anything. If this is actually doing something than nothing than am more than interested to mien and also donate providing its going to the cause.

If you're on the sha256d part, you're just securing the network/blockchain. However, if you're on the folding part using GPU/CPU, you're actually solving problems which will help design medicine for diseases such as Alzheimers, Diabetes and Cancer. (And F@H was started way before bitcoin just fyi)

This is not like other coins like Watercoin or CureCancerCoin (I can't remember their exact names) where they just sell coins and donate to a cause.

Where are the pools and software for cpu as can put towards it and hows does this actually work. Am assuming that cpu generated coin goes towards the foundation for earnings etc. Ill need to read up on it more as only read a little up on it. But does look interesting.

For CPU and GPU there's only one pool due to the nature of F@H and the guide can be found here (https://www.cryptobullionpools.com/about). CPUs and GPUs fold while ASICs mine so it's a very good ratio/payout system. So by folding using a GPU or CPU, you'll be sending results directly to Stanford.

If you run an EC2 instance, you can actually be on par with most GPU systems due to the way F@H gives points (using the bigadv option), but you'll need something like a 24 core / 32 core system to fold those work units.

Thank you for the details and information their. I will look to putting some gpus to use providing I can pay for energy as its getting expensive in UK and looking to now move to scrypt asics for the future maybe be abale to use some of the scrypt asics on it if they have the algo for it or maybe come out with it.

No worries but you won't be able to use scrypt asics on F@H (unless some kind of multipool). F@H has been running for almost a decade before the advent of bitcoin and it's not really an algo per se.

I'll gave it a try.

Is there some sort of .conf file when you can specify overclock settings under windows?
Is there some tweaks to have your gpu at 100% like in other mining coins?

I have 2 R9 290, what Hashrate should I expected, and where can I see it?

If price is down and down, maybe CURE'll die

[merc84]

For those wondering why u don't get as many points as expected in the first few days:
https://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-points/
What are the qualifications for the QRB? (Quick return bonus)

The bonus is applied for users who use a passkey, have successfully returned at least 10 bonus-eligible WUs, have successfully returned 80% or more of assigned WUs, and returned the unit before its Timeout (formerly Preferred Deadline). Bonus points do not apply to partial returns.

This plus the fact as stated many times on the forum payouts are made once per day at a set time means you might not see the full rewards for 2 or so days but after this time coins start to flow in daily.

Overclocking is actually discouraged, as it tends to lead to small errors that can cause you to lose a work unit or have it "hang" near the end. Start with Stock clocks on everything.

I believe that the 290 does something like 150,000PPD plus, but I'm guessing a bit there.

I agree, the best you can do is to set all your CPU GPU to factory settings ea original BIOS!! This is very important.
To give you even more stability you can schange in your motherboard bios settings the PCIe version to 2, the bandwith of 3 is not used and 2 gives more stability in the PCIe clocking.

When you start to fold you get a "work" for each GPU, they are different size, but in avarage they are about 2 days long to complete, you get your point when the software do upload a finished work to standford, when you are new all works a started at the same time that gives you about 2 days lag to get any results like statisitics or coins. This is smoded out when times passes by and all different works are scaddered around in time.

1: Please use factory settings - NO changes of settings.
2: You need a pair 1 CPU to 1 GPU, if you have 3GPU in one computer then the CPU need to have at least 3 CPU's
3: Install the software and change to "FULL" speed
4: You should not check the GPU or CPU load, it does not tell you anything.
5: After about 1 hour you can check if the xx.x1 numbers are changing, the PPD point per day is the numbers you should study.(and tpf)
6: You get around 150000 PPD from 1 290x GPU + some fue point of an CPU core folding.
7: If you get that a work stops at 99.99 then the syncronisation with the worker and the work is lost, you only need to pause(Wait until they turn yellow with the pause text), now you restarts the folding again. This you do by right click on the worker that are connected to the stalled work, not on the big buttons (OK that works to)
8: wait, wait, wait, wait, you get your coins.
9: The folding homepage numbers are all nothing to look, they send you the coins you earns every day.
10: This is a good statisitics page to check you progress by hour, day, week, month...
       This is my statistics (I have been in and out for a couple days, thats wy they are so ...)
       http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=656893
       After a couple of days your statisitics are found if you search your name here:
       http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=
11:When time passes by you statistics stabilises and grows day by day until they flats out.

I have studied coins, scrypt, scrypt-N, X11 and cure coin are different, it have a great reason to mint the couns, to find cure to desisses!

Happy folding with curecoin

//Aboy68

By the way, tpf are the avarage time you need to fold 1%, please remember you need to fold a complete 1% to get some sort of good number out of that, if you have around 7 to 9 min then you are right on target.!! If you don't have it - wait, wait - only with 99.99% you need to do anything!

ooitsme - a question:
What hardware to you have that makes this huge numbers?

Just a reminder: use 14.4 drivers. Gave me 35% more coins.  

14.6 is the latest.
AMD claims up to 25% speed-up in some games.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx?cmpid=social24760556

I'm getting 570k ppd on a rig that had 500k ppd.

That would be roughly the equivalent of a 350,000 PPD increase for me.  Definitely worth it.  Consequently, tonight I'll be setting that up.  Thanks for the information!  Have you had any stability issues?

No new issues with 14.6 for me.

My experience with 14.6 with multi-card computers using 290X TRIX cards has been horrible so I wanted to post it real fast.  I installed the 14.6 drivers on 6 machines before I starting rolling back to the 14.4.  I could not go more than 10 minutes without a Windows cash on Windows 7 x64.  The one machine where I have a single 290X TRIX card has not shown the same problems but literally every machine that I have these drivers installed and has two 290X TRIX cards has BSD'd at least once and some machines have BSD'd several multiple times in less than an hour.

I have double 290x toxics in two machines running 14.6 they are both stable at factory OC though I see no gain/loss difference in the 14.4 to the 14.6.. The question is did you do a clean install of the drivers?

[ifyoubuildit]

I don't know who led to this, but there were a number of tweets yesterday about curecoin from well respected people on twitter. The one below was even favorited by Mark Andreeson, a legendary venture capitalist. Imo, this effort is more valuable than buying a booth at a conference.

Love the idea of using cryptocurrencies to help solve real world problems such as @foldingathome via distributed computing. #curecoin

I used AMD's express uninstall that is supposed to uninstall everything.  Did you use something else?  I've got 15 290X TRIX cards spread out across 8 computers and not a single one of them will fold at factory OC speeds.  I had to underclock them by a large amount to keep them stable.

Did you mean you have 280X Toxics?  I didn't think 290X Toxics were out yet.

[ChasingTheDream]

i have a question:

• My FAH showd a PPD of 850.000 (6 x GPU R9 280x)
• At cryptobullionpools.com my account show only a 133.000 PPD for 30 hours and current balance only 4.55 CURECOIN

whats going on? F@H show 850.000 PPD but the cryptobullionpools.com show 133.000 PPD for a miserable 4.55 CURE = 0.00364BTC

There is no way i will keep folding at this pace

850.000 (6 x GPU R9 280x) is what you get, it will vary depending on works etc.... so this is not an issue.
Your payout is lagging 2days, you need to have patience and wait, you will get your coins, you will get around 25 CURE for 6 280x.
I have 24 and I get around 100 CURE, from 90 to 100 depending on ...... weather and winds...
Happy?

thanks, too bad CURE price is falling too low, its not worth mining at this stage... X11 algo at coinmine.pw gives better payout with same power consumption

How does X11 help find cures for the various diseases that CureCoin are F@H is striving to cure?

Many are here for profit, or at least some return of investment.

I may don't care if I earn 20% less money with your coin than with other coin, if thoses lost procure some science improvement, but I can't afford a 70% loss in my "business plan".
That's the point of thoses "profitability" questions about the amount of money a card will gave per day, and his power consomption.

I understand and I even participated in that up to the launch of CureCoin.  What I saw was that any "profitable" coin was short lived because everyone hopped on it and then dumped it.

If / when people determine the coin hopping is not very beneficial, I hope they consider pointing their GPU's at folding for CureCoin long term because any money is better than nothing and at least the processing power makes a difference in the world.

I have not sold a single CureCoin since I started mining and I don't plan to for a very long time (years).  If I end up with nothing, I'm ok with it.  At least the work units meant something.  If CureCoin ends up being worth $5 at some point then I guess I'll have quite a profit.  I'll check in a couple years.

The Manual Payout does not seem to work as expected. Set the Automatic Payout to 1 and you will get the coins during the daily payout.

One of my 290 has a 151000ppd, the other one only 118000, don't know what to change, check

Thanks for clarifying this. I was about to report the same issue (I tried to send manual payouts 3x yesterday to my wallet and it kept saying it'd be there within 1m but never sent). I'll see how this one goes.

Do you know the time (and zone) when they payouts usually occur?

In order than the Coin live in the long term, there shold be some marketting aspect developped. I assume that if a coin has some value, it's because people want to buy it, and actually that aspect is not developped in the topic.

May be if the price is dropping, it's because there is more miner (like me) that discovered this coin, so create more coin, and dumped them because they don't see any bright future for the coin in the real life (shop, etc). So people want to point theirs gpu to that coin to help science, and dump the coin to have some ROI.

This coin seems to be a winner in its design, using our gpu for real scientific benefits instead of wasted power, but too many times such charitable projects are not balanced with marketting aspects and are left behind.
Pointing our gpu for long term without any idea of profit should not be an argument (even if many does).
