I have recently started folding but there's two things I don't understand.
First, how does the FoldingCoin team know who has signed up with Username_FLDC_1BitcoinAddress? Is this information public? If so, where?
Second, if the folder provides a Bitcoin address (the one from their Counterparty wallet), how are they paid in FLDC since the folder provides a BTC address not a FLDC address? I can see that they could be paid in BTC but not in FLDC. How is FLDC assigned to the folder?
Thanks!
Welcome!
To answer your questions:
1. Stanford shares the amount of credits people earn publicly, so we can use that as a basis to look for people with usernames that indicate they're folding.
2. COunterparty is built on top of bitcoin, so you can actually store many different counterparty assets on a single address. I recommend watching this movie:
