[CURE] curecoin.net

I was digging through the exchange's selection of dirt cheap coins lately when I found this and thought I'd check it out. Really cool stuff.

CureCoin is a distributed protein folding network used for research in solving diseases and (I think) curing cancer. I'm a little murky on the specifics of protein folding, honestly it's pretty complex. But it's doing good stuff, and it takes a lot of CPU horsepower, so the good folks at Stanford University came up with Folding@Home, which uses peoples home computers to collectively equal the power of multi-million dollar supercomputers. CureCoin has partnered with them to create a crypto-currency based on letting users earn Cure coins by participating in this research.

Good stuff. I like it. So I'm trying it out, you can mine with either SHA256 to secure the cypto-coin network, or CPU/GPU mine to actually fold proteins. Either way gets you Cure coins. More info on this at the link. It's very simple to setup, like any other mining.

Wouldn't you use all that GPU horsepower currently mining various versions of Bitcoin copycats on something actually productive? Sounds like a winner to me.

I'm not sure what the investment potential of [CURE] is. The chart looks pretty healthy, volume is low but there's still enough variation going to get some good trades in. I bought a good sized chunk of it and I'll report back with the results of that here later.

I wish i knew about this project sooner, i will be distributing links to this foundation on all social media platform i have a big following on... LOVE THIS Shocked
