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

[MrE78]

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.

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?

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.

Derp on my end I have the TriX like you, I have a few of the 280x toxics in boxes to my left waiting on the rest of my wifes new computer. All I did was the express uninstall, I do not have the CPU folding at all though maybe that could help you out.  Also on win7 64 bit 8gb ram I5s 2500k/2600k

[Aboy68]

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?

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!

Thanks for your answer.

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

It's noting to change, as long it's running, the 0.01% are going up you are fine. I depends on the content of the works you have in each GPU.
It's the long run days that counts or even your weekly statistics should be stable in the long run.

[Aboy68]

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.

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).

PS: I'm french, and have some difficulties with the English language, so the friendly aspects of my post is often not visible when people read hem.

I agree with both, long term investment - Yes, doing a good thing - Yes, and we need a complete flow of economic eco system from investors to debitcards - spending the coins in a easy way. I have studied many coins and curecoin is most solid coin I have met but as you say we need to get more  attention in the world to get buyers = higher price, and all people that want to sell the coins now should not sell to a low price, there is buy bots that are all the time trying to get as low price as they can get, don't sell the coins for nothing - that is up to the seller!

Do I beat you today or tomorrow?
It's only a 0.087% difference! 

[ChasingTheDream]

Do I beat you today or tomorrow?

Not sure.  My little driver experiment caused me a lot of downtime again so it looks like I'm off 300-500 PPD in the current window here.

It shows you are actually dropping behind by 600,000 PPD so you must not be fully up to speed yet.

True, When I made my 14.6 upgrade I did have one computer that did not start correctly(connecting status), needed to uninstall and delete the data.
After the re-installation all was fine again.
Happy folding

What hardware do you have?
I have 24x 280x cards
    12x AMD Sapphire 280X Dual-x
    12x AMD Gigabyte 280X
With 4GPU's per computer with dual PSU's in a special designed aluminium rig with a star configuration of the GPU's, great for cooling when I was running scrypt, not so important any more. With a 12inch fan on top of them. With 60cm riser cables. Running TeamViewer to manage them. I tryed how good it was, I did put 2 riggs in a closed room and the temperature went up to 50 degrese celcius and the GPU's target temp of 75 was still working.  

Have a nice weekend

I have been using the CPU's and I have been trying different thread settings based on what I've seen posted.  I ran for a few days letting the F@H client decide the threads so there was no "spare" thread available.  The stability didn't change overall and the output did go up a bit but I am wondering if that was the issue.

However, many of the machines hadn't even started folding again before they BSD'd so it is odd.  We have similar setups though, although I do have I7's and 16bg of RAM.

In any event, I've allotted a spare thread on each machine again but I also went back to the 14.4.  Not sure I have the ambition to try it again though.  lol

I may remove a CPU from one of the machines from folding and see what happens, but I ran them with 1 thread for some time and the I7's have 8 threads available so I can't imagine it would make much difference.

I have quad core I5-4440 with 4G of ram, I have disabled the CPU folding because it was some few hundreds of PPD, we have started another computer with old slow hardware  and then it made a hug difference to disable the CPU folding, so I did it for all my riggs.

15 290X TRIX's and 1 GTX 590.

The 290X's are in I7 machines (8 of them), the GTX is in a 9 year old computer than I had to cut a bracket out of to get the card to fit with an old duel core.

Ironically that old machine with the GTX has been rock solid the whole time at approximately 40,000 PPD (no CPU folding).  No issues what-so-ever.  The 290X's have been a bit more work but are at about 170,000 - 180,000 PPD assuming I can keep them running...  The downclocking of the cards really hasn't seemed to make a huge dent in their PPD.

I also run TeamViewer to manage them.  I don't use any extra cooling at all now that I'm folding and the GPU fans still run at half the rate they ran at while mining.  I can immediately tell when I have a stability issue just by the speed at which TeamViewer connects though.

Thanks and I hope you have a nice weekend as well.

Your English is fine.  Nothing offensive in it.  I believe the dev team and others are working on marketing.  The coin isn't even three weeks old yet.    However I think a lot of that is going to have to come from the community.  Hopefully people with the appropriate skills run with it so-to-speak.

DogeCoin brought me into crypto's.  If we could get a quarter of that communities spirit here nothing could stop CureCoin.

My fault guys, it's fixed now.

I was originally going to invest $4k into Curecoin. But after a few days of either flat or falling prices and seeing network hashrate stop building I decided to sell all my Curecoin to buy XC a week ago.

I made 10x profit from this decision once the price reached over 400k ie over $40k.

I am sure Curecoin will have promise in the future but until these pharmaceutical companies come along and actually offer to pay money for this computer processing power then this coin will not develop.

Who is currently earning the money from the folding right now, is it Stanford university, is it the coin developers?

The reason XC is doing so well is because just by having anonymous transactions a lot of people will use it to launder money e.g. the rich evading tax or people doing illicit business, or normal people just wanting to avoid tax which is quite acceptable. This gives it implicit buying power.

What gives Curecoin implicit buying power? Is someone making money from Curecoin folders?  

When my XC reaches 0.05 I will already have $400k so I might be willing to invest 10% of my holdings back into Curecoin at that point, at this rate im sure the price will still be similar by then.. in  6 months time.

So in 3 weeks you've divined the next 6 months of CureCoin's existence? Neat trick.

Pharmaceutical companies have nothing so well. All coin shave anonymous transactions - so does Bitcoin as does Curecoin - they are just making it more anonymous which frankly is not really needed. Plus XC will become irrelevent to DRK soon. Network hashrate hasn't fallen but the price isn't getting up. The folders are earning money the developers & Stanford get nothing.

XC will probably never reach 0.05 - and you're predicting prices is horrid so good luck with that. You're either a troll or have more money than sense.

[ivanlabrie]

Exactly, drk came first...xc, X11 COIN for crying out loud LOL came after it, and we all know what happens with these type of clones.
Drk might hit bitfinex soon, news hype is huge, people are heavily invested in it and it's currently on the rise again...

I support Curecoin, but Darkcoin is also in my portfolio. XC, I profited a bit from it and dumped it before I lost some $ on it.
