how long it takes to shows address on stat page?
You need to send a complete working unit back to standford first, then later you show up on the stat pages.
A wu can take hours or days .... you have to check that in you GUI of your folding software.

if you can make it more smart
that somehow new coins will be generated every week automatically (without premine)
and will be distributed safely among all folders
that somehow new coins will be generated every week automatically (without premine)

Do you have any ide?
I think it's almost impossible now when you only do folding, we don't need any mining on a block-chain to secure the net.
If every transaction is reported in a excel file, the community can trace back and check if the developers are doing "wrong" things with the coins. Weekly payments to folders etc....
And if the coins are stored in a "secure" way so no one will ever hack the wallet.
Then I'm happy with the handle of the coins.

The difference between this coin and CureCoin is that CurCoin requires ASIC miners to mine their coin to help keep the integrity of their coin. The problem with this is that it is still possible to attack the coin if you move more miners over to this coin. As for FoldingCoin is built on the http://www.counterparty.co protocol which is built on top off the Bitcoin network and is secured by Bitcoin miners.
And in response to the premine, i understand that premine is bad. The only way to make this coin possible to help the Folding Network is by premining though as you are not mining a coin directly. Their are 2 reasons why you should trust the coin though:
1. I am actively trying to get Stanford to control the coin directly therefore it is an established organization you can trust
2. ASIC have destroyed GPU mining and their are no other options

Hi
How does you development plan looks like for FoldingCoin?
What's your plans for making this coin worth buying?

Hi, this is the fix.
I did study a computer that did have stalled working units, I did recoqnise that the percentage you can read in the GUI are really detached from what you find in the log file. What you find in the log file is what results you have from the GPU/WU, that is the true performance. So when a worker are losing sync to a working unit the percentage are increased with the same speed until at reaches 99.99% and stops(in the GUI), thats why you can find out that something is wrong until the timer are reaching 99.99%. So the GUI are not the right place to look for stalled WU's. So if you look deeper in to the computer to the list of processes and particular process FahCore_17.exe, these processes are one for each GPU in your computer. The average CPU usage are around 1-4% and memory size is 200-300 MB ruff numbers.(When the WU are loaded and are folding) When a WU are stalling the CPU activity goes to 0% and stays there until you pause and starts folding again and then the FAHControl.exe are restarting the WU from the last saved file. OK, that's nice you can actually check if the GPU's are folding or not, when the activity are 0% you only need to terminate the stalled FahCore_17.exe and the WU restarts(from last save file). BUT that is hard work to run around and check WU's, so to the end of the story is the automatic solution: Download a software called processlasso and install it. http://bitsum.com/processlasso/
Search and find one process of FahCore_17.exe and right click on it, select menu option "Set watchdog rules for this process", 1: for -CPU, 2: Less than, 3: 1%, 4: 300 sec, 5: terminate the process, 6: Puch button "Create new process watchdog rule". Now the software are terminating the wu that have been inactive for 5 minutes and restarts, this is saved by the software and are restarted every time the computer starts. - YES it works, no more lost hours of stalled WU's
//Aboy68, by the way - if you change in the motherboard bios settings the PCIe version to version 2, that gives you are more stable system, the timing is not that fast as version 3 and verson 2 have the bandwith we need in foldings, I have this setting on all mother boards, Ver 1 is to slow(I have tryed it)

Outstanding post Aboy68! I love automated solutions and this will save me the trouble of having to try to write one myself! I will give this a shot. A couple of my computers get extremely unstable when some event happens that I have not been able to identify yet so I'm not sure this will work in my case but I'm definitely going to try it. I will also try the PCI-E 2 settings.
Thanks again!
Update1: I've just set up the software exactly as you describe on my machines. Your instructions were very easy to follow. Again well done!
Update2: Immediately had an opportunity for processlasso to take some action on the troubled machine and I got a message that I had been using it for 21,000,000 days so it was deactivated. lol UGH. I would have liked to try it before buying it just to see if would help so I may have to pursue a homegrown approach if / when I ever get time to do it.

Our production is dropping off and I've been having a lot of hardware issues and instability despite under clocking the GPU's literally to their lowest possible settings (both core and speed). If you are having similar issues try under clocking your RAM. I got that tip directly from the F@H support and I think the guy may have nailed it! At least I hope so! I'll know more in about 24 hours. I may be able to spin up the GPU's again. They are running ridiculously under clocked right now.
Despite the bumps I'm still trying to beat you into the top 10.
Update: GAH. Still didn't make it three hours before two machines were down again. LOL. So the quest for stability continues...

Im running stock values on all hardware I have, yes sometimes the worker and the WU do get lost in space with the result of 99.99%
To resync is the solution, ea pause and fold commands.
I have a 100% fix on this automaticly no human hands on! The last 3 day I have tryed out the fix and it still works.
Do you want to know how?
//Aboy68
Yes any ideas are welcome. Virtually every morning at least two of my machines are down meaning I can not restart them folding without physically rebooting the machine. The machine will not respond to remote restarts or keyboard input. I actually have to press the reset button. That happens during the day as well but I'm not always available to do anything about it so they sit for hours like that. At this point I've got the GPU's under clocked to the maximum amount so it is not the GPU's. It is something in the systems themselves. Memory, CPU, something. I've removed the CPU slot on the troubled machines (after the WU finished of course) but it does not seem to have made any difference in terms of stability.
I'm going to gather my logs and present them to the F@H support group to see if they have any ideas to help speed up the process of getting these things running properly. As a short term fix I may write a program that reads the logs and if too much time goes by before the log is updated it could force a system restart. Unfortunately I don't think this will work because whatever is happening makes the system so unstable that I don't think it will be able to restart.
Ironically there are no hardware errors or application errors in Windows Event Viewer though. This has actually been plaguing me since I started but it was the same way with mining. It took a long time to get the systems to behave. This will eventually get worked out.
Unfortunately, as a result I'm only running at about 2/3 my expected output, but it is still better than nothing. lol
If you have a fix I would love to hear about it!
Are the fans working correctly? Might want to get a tool that lets you see VRM temps too, I had a 7970 experiencing a similar issue (back in the mining days) and VRMs were around 117C. Some more work showed that the fan speed in CCC/afterburner/trixx was incorrect, as the fan had a hardware issue and was spinning with a much higher resistance than it should have.
I used GPU-Z to take a peek and it looks like the highest VRM temp on any of the cards in the troubled machines is 58C. Also based on your recommendation some time ago I did swap the GPU's out of the most troubled machine with the machine next to it. The most troubled machine is still the machine having the most issues. Based on all that, I don't think it is the GPU's at this point but it was definitely worth a look. Thanks for the suggestion.
Ironically though, I ran GPU-Z on several of my machines that don't seem to want to run for very long. The most troubled machine ended up getting a video driver failure while I was watching. The machine was still stable afterwards and I was able to remotely reboot it so it was responding appropriately. Whatever else is happening makes it so unstable it is on a whole different level of ugly. Definitely not just a video driver failure.
Try underclocking your system RAM. This helped with one of my rigs.
I actually was talking about that in the first post in this sequence and thought it was going to help because the RAM speed in all the machines was at 2133. I brought it down to 1333 and unfortunately it didn't help. I think I'm going to run a memory test next and maybe even swap memory between a machine that behaves somewhat well and the least stable machine. Hard to believe the memory is bad in 2-3 different machines but I need to rule it out.
Another suggestion from the F@H folks was that I could be overloading a rail on the PSU but the computer that is having the most issues has a 1200 watt Corsair which is a single rail PSU. So the quest continues.

I find this to be really hot feature to a coin: anonymous functions/transactions. Its the beginning of a new trend with cross-blockchain transaction anonymity.
That are a reason for people to trade with curecoin if we have this feature.

Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Earn while you solve cures for Cancer. True 3.0 crypto
Just a reminder: use 14.4 drivers. Gave me 35% more coins. 
14.6 is the latest. AMD claims up to 25% speed-up in some games.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx?cmpid=social24760556
That would be roughly the equivalent of a 350,000 PPD increase for me. Definitely worth it. Consequently, tonight I'll be setting that up. Thanks for the information! Have you had any stability issues?
My experience with 14.6 with multi-card computers using 290X TRIX cards has been horrible so I wanted to post it real fast. I installed the 14.6 drivers on 6 machines before I starting rolling back to the 14.4. I could not go more than 10 minutes without a Windows cash on Windows 7 x64. The one machine where I have a single 290X TRIX card has not shown the same problems but literally every machine that I have these drivers installed and has two 290X TRIX cards has BSD'd at least once and some machines have BSD'd several multiple times in less than an hour.
I have double 290x toxics in two machines running 14.6 they are both stable at factory OC though I see no gain/loss difference in the 14.4 to the 14.6.. The question is did you do a clean install of the drivers?
I used AMD's express uninstall that is supposed to uninstall everything. Did you use something else? I've got 15 290X TRIX cards spread out across 8 computers and not a single one of them will fold at factory OC speeds. I had to underclock them by a large amount to keep them stable.
Did you mean you have 280X Toxics? I didn't think 290X Toxics were out yet.
Derp on my end I have the TriX like you, I have a few of the 280x toxics in boxes to my left waiting on the rest of my wifes new computer. All I did was the express uninstall, I do not have the CPU folding at all though maybe that could help you out. Also on win7 64 bit 8gb ram I5s 2500k/2600k
I have been using the CPU's and I have been trying different thread settings based on what I've seen posted. I ran for a few days letting the F@H client decide the threads so there was no "spare" thread available. The stability didn't change overall and the output did go up a bit but I am wondering if that was the issue.
However, many of the machines hadn't even started folding again before they BSD'd so it is odd. We have similar setups though, although I do have I7's and 16bg of RAM.
I'll remove the CPU from one of the machines from folding and see what happens.
I have quad core I5-4440 with 4G of ram, I have disabled the CPU folding because it was some few hundreds of PPD, we have started another computer with old slow hardware and then it made a hug difference to disable the CPU folding, so I did it for all my riggs.
Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Earn while you solve cures for Cancer. True 3.0 crypto
Do I beat you today or tomorrow?
It's only a 0.087% difference!
It's only a 0.087% difference!
Not sure. My little driver experiment caused me a lot of downtime again so it looks like I'm off 300-500 PPD in the current window here.
http://kakaostats.com/t.php?t=224497
It shows you are actually dropping behind by 600,000 PPD so you must not be fully up to speed yet.
True, When I made my 14.6 upgrade I did have one computer that did not start correctly(connecting status), needed to uninstall and delete the data.
After the re-installation all was fine again.
Happy folding
What hardware do you have?
I have 24x 280x cards
12x AMD Sapphire 280X Dual-x
12x AMD Gigabyte 280X
With 4GPU's per computer with dual PSU's in a special designed aluminium rig with a star configuration of the GPU's, great for cooling when I was running scrypt, not so important any more. With a 12inch fan on top of them. With 60cm riser cables. Running TeamViewer to manage them. I tryed how good it was, I did put 2 riggs in a closed room and the temperature went up to 50 degrese celcius and the GPU's target temp of 75 was still working.
Have a nice weekend
Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Earn while you solve cures for Cancer. True 3.0 crypto
I understand and I even participated in that up to the launch of CureCoin. What I saw was that any "profitable" coin was short lived because everyone hopped on it and then dumped it.
If / when people determine the coin hopping is not very beneficial, I hope they consider pointing their GPU's at folding for CureCoin long term because any money is better than nothing and at least the processing power makes a difference in the world.
I have not sold a single CureCoin since I started mining and I don't plan to for a very long time (years). If I end up with nothing, I'm ok with it. At least the work units meant something. If CureCoin ends up being worth $5 at some point then I guess I'll have quite a profit. I'll check in a couple years.
In order than the Coin live in the long term, there shold be some marketting aspect developped. I assume that if a coin has some value, it's because people want to buy it, and actually that aspect is not developped in the topic.
May be if the price is dropping, it's because there is more miner (like me) that discovered this coin, so create more coin, and dumped them because they don't see any bright future for the coin in the real life (shop, etc). So people want to point theirs gpu to that coin to help science, and dump the coin to have some ROI.
This coin seems to be a winner in its design, using our gpu for real scientific benefits instead of wasted power, but too many times such charitable projects are not balanced with marketting aspects and are left behind.
Pointing our gpu for long term without any idea of profit should not be an argument (even if many does).

Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Earn while you solve cures for Cancer. True 3.0 crypto
I'll gave it a try.
Is there some sort of .conf file when you can specify overclock settings under windows?
Is there some tweaks to have your gpu at 100% like in other mining coins?
I have 2 R9 290, what Hashrate should I expected, and where can I see it?

Overclocking is actually discouraged, as it tends to lead to small errors that can cause you to lose a work unit or have it "hang" near the end. Start with Stock clocks on everything.
I believe that the 290 does something like 150,000PPD plus, but I'm guessing a bit there.
I agree, the best you can do is to set all your CPU GPU to factory settings ea original BIOS!! This is very important.
To give you even more stability you can schange in your motherboard bios settings the PCIe version to 2, the bandwith of 3 is not used and 2 gives more stability in the PCIe clocking.
When you start to fold you get a "work" for each GPU, they are different size, but in avarage they are about 2 days long to complete, you get your point when the software do upload a finished work to standford, when you are new all works a started at the same time that gives you about 2 days lag to get any results like statisitics or coins. This is smoded out when times passes by and all different works are scaddered around in time.
1: Please use factory settings - NO changes of settings.
2: You need a pair 1 CPU to 1 GPU, if you have 3GPU in one computer then the CPU need to have at least 3 CPU's
3: Install the software and change to "FULL" speed
4: You should not check the GPU or CPU load, it does not tell you anything.
5: After about 1 hour you can check if the xx.x1 numbers are changing, the PPD point per day is the numbers you should study.(and tpf)
6: You get around 150000 PPD from 1 290x GPU + some fue point of an CPU core folding.
7: If you get that a work stops at 99.99 then the syncronisation with the worker and the work is lost, you only need to pause(Wait until they turn yellow with the pause text), now you restarts the folding again. This you do by right click on the worker that are connected to the stalled work, not on the big buttons (OK that works to)
8: wait, wait, wait, wait, you get your coins.
9: The folding homepage numbers are all nothing to look, they send you the coins you earns every day.
10: This is a good statisitics page to check you progress by hour, day, week, month...
This is my statistics (I have been in and out for a couple days, thats wy they are so ...)

After a couple of days your statisitics are found if you search your name here:
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_list.php?s=
11:When time passes by you statistics stabilises and grows day by day until they flats out.
I have studied coins, scrypt, scrypt-N, X11 and cure coin are different, it have a great reason to mint the couns, to find cure to desisses!
Happy folding with curecoin

By the way, tpf are the avarage time you need to fold 1%, please remember you need to fold a complete 1% to get some sort of good number out of that, if you have around 7 to 9 min then you are right on target.!! If you don't have it - wait, wait - only with 99.99% you need to do anything!
One of my 290 has a 151000ppd, the other one only 118000, don't know what to change, check
It's noting to change, as long it's running, the 0.01% are going up you are fine. I depends on the content of the works you have in each GPU.
It's the long run days that counts or even your weekly statistics should be stable in the long run.

Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Earn while you solve cures for Cancer. True 3.0 crypto
i have a question:
whats going on? F@H show 850.000 PPD but the cryptobullionpools.com show 133.000 PPD for a miserable 4.55 CURE = 0.00364BTC
There is no way i will keep folding at this pace
- My FAH showd a PPD of 850.000 (6 x GPU R9 280x)
- At cryptobullionpools.com my account show only a 133.000 PPD for 30 hours and current balance only 4.55 CURECOIN
whats going on? F@H show 850.000 PPD but the cryptobullionpools.com show 133.000 PPD for a miserable 4.55 CURE = 0.00364BTC
There is no way i will keep folding at this pace
850.000 (6 x GPU R9 280x) is what you get, it will vary depending on works etc.... so this is not an issue.
Your payout is lagging 2days, you need to have patience and wait, you will get your coins, you will get around 25 CURE for 6 280x.
I have 24 and I get around 100 CURE, from 90 to 100 depending on ...... weather and winds...
Happy?
thanks, too bad CURE price is falling too low, its not worth mining at this stage... X11 algo at coinmine.pw gives better payout with same power consumption
How does X11 help find cures for the various diseases that CureCoin are F@H is striving to cure?
To find cures on different diseases is a long time investment
and combine a coin to that is great idee. Keep on folding and get your reward it will come when everybody find that other coins are build up on air.....
