What are people's opinions on promoting Curecoin to other folding teams?
There are some huge teams out there with 20,000+ folders and several with 10,000+. Having folders from other teams flood into Curecoin would have a huge impact on it's price as it would become effectively much more scarce (harder to earn due to folding competition). The more people who value Curecoin, the more valuable it becomes. Folders on other folding teams are also by far the 'easiest sell' as they already know what folding is, they know how to to it and clearly believe it's worth doing. So promoting Curecoin to other folding teams is an obvious move to make, at least from a marketing/investor perspective.
However, from a philanthropic perspective, (the 'other side to this coin'

) It's a pointless thing to do because they are already folding for free. It doesn't encourage any more people to start folding, it just makes the price go up.
Then again, if more people value Curecoin, the network effect of Curecoin is strengthened, and will encourage more new comers to start folding in the long run. So if we strengthen Curecoin now by promoting Curecoin to other folding teams, that means the network effect in the future will be much stronger, which is good for Curecoin and good for folding@home. So I'm in favour of it, but if there are objects to this marketing angle, I'd like to hear them.
