You probably have heard about the Folding At Home program from Stanford University once. It is a program where you can let computer calculate protein folding to research new medicine for diseases.
What does this have to do with Bit/Altcoin? There is a new coin that combines the bitcoin protocol with the FAH program to reward people for their computing power they give to the program. This new program turns those wasted hashes and power consumption into something that benefits us all!
Great, and why do I care?Profit! The FAH 'algorithm' has been sitting on the top of the profitability charts for more then a week. As an added bonus, the power usage and heat generation are less than 50% of scrypt! Even Nvidia users are welcome. Depending on the card you are running you can have anywhere from over 50% of an AMD's gpu efficiency to over 100% of the efficiency an AMD card can get. Development continues to even that playground and maximize every cards folding efficiency.
How does it work?You install the folding software, choose a nickname and register at the pool. For more detailed information check the
Curecoin topic.
Show me the proof!You can find the calculator at
CoinTweak.com or check the
profitability overview to compare it to other coins.
Some general results:
R9 280x = 120-140k PPD
R9 290x = 150-170k PPD
GTX 670 = 65-75k PPD
Highest profitability, lowest power consumption and making the world a healthier place possibly saving your wife or kids in the future. Why wouldn't you start Folding for Curecoin?
