    Hi,

    I am currently writing an article about Curecoin for Thecoinfront.com and Coinproz.com.  If anyone has anything they would like to say about Curecoin from the community, please add it here:



    For the record, I have been doing articles on the more philanthropic ventures in cryptocurrency as of late, and Curecoin is a project everyone feels should be promoted.

    Thanks for the press exposure! Most of what I would say about Curecoin as it exists currently would be copy+paste about the stats and purpose of Curecoin from OP, but to keep from decaying into my frequent tangents, I'd summarize the project as "creating incentive for behavior benefiting humanity; providing a valuable use of computing power for groundbreaking medical and scientific research."

    Great!  That is pretty much what I wrote.  I will go ahead and post the draft here, and update the thread when it actually goes live:

    Curecoin: Curing Cancer With Crowd Computing

    In an emerging alternative cryptocurrency market flooded with fear, uncertainty, and doubt, one coin has risen above the rest.  Curecoin has established itself as a cryptocurrency that is solving real world problems, and also bringing about a new level of transparency to the crypto community.  With representatives recently attending The North American Bitcoin Conference in Chicago, part of the Curecoin development team showed off their project to the public.  The team took careful care to demonstrate exactly how Curecoin worked, as well as demonstrating the overall transparency of the project.  

    The project was launched on May 10, 2014 after over 6 months of development.  The Curecoin team has partnered with Stanford University to create the first cryptocurrency to legitimately use crowd-computing power for more than network security.  While it is possible to use computing power to secure the Curecoin network (ASIC), GPU/CPU power can go directly towards “protein folding”.  When you donate your computing power to fold proteins, you are solving equations to help cure different cancers, diabetes, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s.

    As the Curecoin team has traveled around the world to build their community, they have risen to the top of the “Fold At Home” team list, currently coming it at number ten.  Currently the Curecoin team is working on Ocore, which is a system to allow users to watch the teams fold the proteins in real time to bring an even higher level of transparency to the process.  They already have an app in the Google Play store  which lets you get in contact with them directly.  

    In addition, Curecoin 2.0 will be developed to accommodate changes in computing technology, after which Curecoin 1.0 will be absorbed into the new system.  The team has talked of merchant integration and smart contracts for their next wave of development, but nothing has been set in stone.  If you are interested in contributing your computing power to cure diseases, you can go to the Curecoin home page and start curing diseases from your home computer today.


    Edit: I just took out the html hyperlinks, but if anything needs to be changed there is still time!

    Thanks!

    Looks great! The only thing I'd modify is removing the part of partnering with Stanford, simply because there's no official partnership at the moment. Also, Ocore is a Stanford development Smiley

    I will say "unofficially partnered" and give credit to stanford for Ocore. 

    Thanks!
