This.

"Team Curecoin" is already growing at a very rapid rate, as indicated by the ever-increasing PPD stats.  So there's no need to "reach out" to other teams, there's no need to alienate other teams

No, where Curecoin "wins" as far as supporting F@H is by converting profit-oriented miners and their massive amounts of potential folding power into a force for good, rather than "preaching to the choir" of existing folders who've been doing this for years on end.  

And it's working.  Look at the top of the team list.  Several of those folk that have showed up in the last few days have large CPU and GPU farms and are known "regulars" mining coins like PTS, RIC or XPM, and they've shifted to Curecoin..these are guys with probably over a million dollars worth of combined hardware that are now helping a worthy cause besides their own profit (while still making a profit). 

One question I always has in mind and never had the time to ask:

What are the plans in case some server outage in Stanford happen? E.g. GPU server fail to send new assignments and a full day only a3 and a4 core will be assigned ? Would the daily rate of 7400 CUR be reduced or would that windfall to CPU folder would be processed
Or also happen that the stats server stops and cumulate feedback the net day. Until now nothing happen, no financial impact. But how would the coin react ?

I am for finding a way to open CureCoin folding rewards to members of ANY team. People need to understand, some of these teams are very old, very passionate, and very dedicated to their teams and about *volunteering* their *donations* to the fold at home project. Please understand that FAH has been going for 14 years. [H]ardOCP has been doing it since 2000. The EVGA team has been doing it for 7 years. We've been doing it for one week.

We're the bull in the china shop right now, and when you talk about recruiting from other teams, you're talking about destroying other teams that have had to work a thousand times harder than us to accomplish what they have accomplished. That's wrong, and believe it or not - it will drive people in the FAH community away, because we've killed it for them.

Now suppose the value of CureCoin does fall. Will you still be folding? Because that's what many of them are talking about when they talk about us. Cheating. Dropping units in the hunt for higher payouts. That we'll just move on to something else three months from now. The best thing about us, to them, is that we're introducing new people to the Folding@Home program that might just stick around after the tide of CureCoin miners leave.

The reactions to us haven't exactly been brilliant. They're floored, for sure, about the hash-power we've managed to drum up. But we're hurting the huge communities that have been built up by dividing them and forcing them to break ranks and join our team if they want to take part in our coin. If everyone joins our team, what's the point of having teams in the first place. Eh?

No. No recruiting from other teams. And until the devs find a way to include members from *any* team, I would encourage people in other teams to KEEP donating what they can afford to their teams, and to utilize the CureCoin program to facilitate their ability to donate more.

Ok, I'm convinced.  Making small Curecoin donations to other teams is off the menu.

It would be great if other teams could be bought into it somehow, while remaining in their existing teams.

Pause it.  The value will likely show much lower when paused.  Then click Finish.  It will go back to 99.99 percent/unknown ETA, but let it run, and check the logs, you'll see that FS0x is actually increasing.  Give it time.

Yes you're right, the value is much lower when paused (only 65% done). But when I click finish (or folding) my GPU doesn't work. My occupancy rate is still only around 5-10%.

EDIT: It works now, thanks! Yes it seems there was a driver crash, but after rebooting and waiting some minutes it started folding again.

Is this a clone of Potcoin?

I hardly ever post but just wanted to say that Ive been following Curecoin since the very first pre announce thread and when the IPO was launched to find investors, it seemed to all be over within 24 hours with the dev saying `thats all we need no more investors thanks` just hours before i caught the thread. Also around the same time he announced he had a `very large` investor joining him hence not needing any new investors.  And that was despite me checking almost daily for Curecoin news, but sadly I cant check every single day having a life and all.

This is real life, you have to be either very quick on the mark or be a rich big investor to get a slice of the pie.

Well I dont mind, Im still planning on buying some Curecoins at this much higher price which seems like it would be more profitable than mining. I am also working on my own Bitcoin website where I can be the dev and have people invest in me instead which is the only way to really get successful without being part of the lucky few.

Despite wanting to be a holder of Curecoins my honest opinion is until they gain much more popularity among the Bitcoin community and the business world in terms of medical research then I think its very much a long term wait a few years and hope type investment, not something you can make a living from. A lot of people mining or buying seem to think they can earn quick money from this so I am expecting a sell dump within a month as people realise they cant make a living from something if they just horde it in their wallet. Especially so the few people who jumped in investing $20k-30k in mining equipment just for Curecoin, thats a lot of electricity cost.

For sure. If people jump teams there's nothing we can do to stop that, but it's certainly not behavior we are encouraging or discouraging, it's simply personal choice. If Curecoin enables people to contribute additional computing power, then that's awesome, but if that is at the cost of what they've been working on for years, and of the communities they built up over the years, then that is destructive.

The main issue I see is what you mentioned, people dropping WUs, and doing questionable things to see higher points. I feel this is a small portion of the community that is doing this, but certainly something concerning none-the-less. In good news, the new oCore that Stanford is working on looks very promising (it is a streaming core, which means no WUs, but rather continuous computation) but is in very early stages of development, so it could be 6 months or a year, or even longer before we see it rolled out. Stanford has not given any type of time estimate, and they want to make sure they have a very polished product when they push it into mainstream.

I've pondered that and the only reason I came up with is because it's a coin worth holding as there's potential in it.

I don't think it will replace BTC but it could be the next big thing next to BTC.
