This idea doesn't make any sense.

Protein folding simulation is indeed very computationally expensive, but the results of such a simulation are not efficiently verifiable. Therefore, you cannot base a "proof of work" system on this, and the entire idea of CureCoin is meaningless.

Anyone have any answers to this?
