This is from the lead developer at F@H on reddit:

Yeah and the CureCoin developers give themselves 10% of the profits. Plus they have centralized control of the distribution of coins. Their centralized servers gather publicly available data from Folding@home and enter it into the CureCoin network. If they screw this up or get hacked the whole coin is compromised. If Folding@home get's hacked or any of the 100s of Folding@home work servers which are run at Universities around the world gets hacked the coin is compromised.

I tried to work on these and other issues with the CureCoin developers but they responded quite hostility and charged ahead with CureCoin as is. As their website says, they have no affiliation with Folding@home or Stanford University.

Disclosure: I'm the lead developer at Folding@home.
