Odd question; Why do the exchanges have such small balances of Curecoin being traded? Are all of these miners just sitting on them? Sharexcoin has 46 being traded, Bittrex has less than 200. Poloniex has the most at 1650 Cur as of posting this. I have never heard of Poloniex until someone linked it above.

I have 89 Cur atm and am still debating on sitting or just playing with them. I know I don't have nearly the largest rig so I just wonder on where the volume of Cur is?

And remember, don't be a troll. I'm a team #curecoin as well. Just a simple question/observation.

Love the pool Terk! Sadly, I am off to fold some curecoin. Profits are good atm, it is for a great cause and I have been patiently waiting for several years for the project to go live! Keep up the good work. I may be back at some point!

Scrypt-Based Mining now is just generally dead. I don't see the point anymore, even if you have Mh/s, you're still losing a LOT with electricity costs.

Some people have access to really cheap or even free electricity.

True, however my single card rig (303KH/s) uses 240W solid when mining. I have it on for 9 hours each day during the night since mining scrypt is so unprofitable ~ at least for me anyway. Its around £9 a month now that I'm doing this minus a couple pound due to my solar panels which are grid tied.

Pick up an R9 270 yo! Coupled with a Sempron 145 you can have a low power single rig pushing 430+ Kh/s and fairly low temps...should be under 175w! Also GOLD rated PSU or better helps a bunch.

I have it at 475kh/s, and it's using around 180w. It's a really good card, but instead, you really should get some gridseeds, since they use a lot less power than GPUs.

I have another mining friend of mine who runs Nvidia 750 TI's. They pull 50w under load a piece and run at around 320kh/s. It is a loss as far as kh/s goes, but for the power difference (475kh/s = 180w or 320kh/s = 50w) it is actually a higher profit margin since you pay a lot less electricity. As well as being able to run as many cards as you can get PCI-E cables on 1 psu (he has 6 of them on 1 mobo and 1 1000w psu). Of course, that means you run Cudeminer instead of CGMiner which I have no experience with.

Not to mention the cards are only $150 a piece vs the $300 for the 280x's and such.

Just a thought for you electricity conscious people.

Is there a way to see other user's PPD on Cryptobullions? I'd like to compare my currently PPD's to other user's to gestimate a pay-out, as well to see how I stack up to the other users. As of now, my WU's haven't been submitted from what I can see. I know this can take 24 hours so I'm not questioning that. User name is Capttech

Anyone have a Points per day to payout calculator made up yet? Just want a rough idea of what I may be looking at. Currently at 463k points per day. Still some more tweaking to do.

What's your hardware?

i7 4660k, GTX 590, 6 R9 280x's, AMD 6 Core

I followed the instructions in the OP and got my CPU + GPU folding. However, when I checked the After Burner, it showed that all GPU are at 0% usage, is it normal?

Read the same question above posted by me and the 2 answer. I'm trying this now. I will post if this was the cause (aka bottlenecking on the cpu)

Just read your previous post and removed CPU folding, now I get 8-9x% CPU usage Smiley

This worked! Went from 4-8k points per day to 211k points per day per rig now. Thanks everyone. I'll mess with the cpu settings further to find the best settings.

On a side note, I am guessing the algorithms the gpu's get are much larger and complex than the cpu ones so if you see the percentage on your cpu going up substantially faster than on your gpu's, this is normal, right? I'm just going to go by my points per day to make sure I've got the best settings.

Hardware question - I switched off of the united pool since that was an asic pool apparently. I followed the guide here http://www.curecoin.us/index.php?topic=9.0 and everything is working but my GPU's all show 0% usage in afterburner. The slowest CPU I have (old AMD Tri-core) is killing all of my GPU's @ folding so something is wrong on my side. I did verify the cards are all using Core_17.  1 Nvidia GTX 590 and 6 R9 280x's should not be beat by a tri-core cpu!

Any ideas guys? Or have another link to get GPU's folding? I would really appreciate it. And for the "It's not worth it people", just stay quiet. I'm not in it for making a ton of money. My family is riddled with genetic diseases so helping in this way gives me a chubby.

It takes about 3 minutes from the time you click fold until it actually starts doing anything, and then another 30 mins or so after that for your ETA and PPD to update. The tri core will probably bottleneck you, but you should have some usage, not 0%. Make sure you are not folding with your CPU as you will need all of it's resources to feed your GPUs.

Ok, I will give this a shot. The rig with the tri-core has 2 280x's on it and my 6-core has the other 4. My i7 rig has the gtx 590. I'll try pausing the cpu's and see what happens for a few hours. Thanks everyone

Glad to see the coin launched! Sad I missed the launch day but it is what it is.

My question is that I keep getting a message on all of my CGMiner that says something like "Share rejected due to target". I didn't write it down fast enough and now I have an error message that says "Worker temporarily banned". MY HW shows 0 so I don't think my intensity is too high. I use a bunch of AMD r9 280x's

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'd love to get this project rolling.

You can't mine with GPU.  You have to do folding@home - but its not like normal coin where you can see what you are earning, you have to wait apparently - so far I am waiting 3 days on 8 rigs and all i get is this:



i don't know if the setup is wrong, am i wasting my time, i am listed on the F@H list but from what i can see nothing is going into coins - and people saying 'just wait its for a good cause' then why isn't there at least a message on the pool telling me this?  why show KH = 0 if it doesn't work like that lol?

also not getting any support - i did got one reply saying 'i saw this is fixed now' and nothing since??

to the people insulting everyone who is asking these questions and calling them stupid - try to understand coins are built around incentives - folding is not the incentive to miners, coins are the incentive to miners.  its like that whole incentive structure has been taken out of here and you are disconnected, after 3 days with nothing back right now this feels more like a folding project with a coin strapped on that doesn't work properly, everyone is so excited about the folding team performance what about the coins i am supposed to be spending my $ on lol?HuhHuhHuh

before you accuse me of trolling, this is actually good advice - sort your coins / support side out please, this is what the coin's success relies on.




I joined up on https://cure.united-miners.com/ and in about 3 hours my earnings (5 280x's) show 0.00583118. This having been said, I'm not in it for making a ton of money. I used to do a lot of folding @ home long before cryptocurrency. I am debating on starting up folding at home again since there is some extra money to be made doing it now.

As for the people saying you can't gpu mine Curecoin, please advise me on this. It would seem it is working fine thus far on my 2 rigs. I understand asic makes it way less profitable in comparison, but I'm not after making a ton of money. Just above breaking even is fine. Even tho I plan on sitting on the coins for quite a while regardless. Thanks

Turns out, I forgot to delete the --scrypt from my CGMiner batch file. I was so used to seeing it there I kept over looking it. Hope this helps someone else

Terk!

What a great day for Clevermining.  I am too excited to go to sleep, so I looked at the About the Pool page.  I see LAST 24 HOURS STATS, and LAST 30 DAYS STATS.  When will you implement NEXT 30 DAYS STATS?

Doge Tips Address:  DSJLWtjYat5vunYSXWGsQs5CXxFewAv6Mi



This wouldn't be possible since the alt-coin market is just as volatile as the BTC Market. You must be new to BTC and/or alt coin mining for such a question ?

OR, I'm willing to make a joke without hiding behind an emoticon  Wink

My intent was to commend Terk by implying he has powers beyond reason.



Glad to hear! I wasn't 100% certain if you were serious or not. Glad to know you weren't Smiley

You guys aren't alone with the high unexchanged. This is usually because Terk is busy with some testings or fixes, or perhaps because it is East weekend in the U.S.

Either way, profits are looking amazing right now. I'd love for this to keep holding! /fingscrossed

Keep it up Terk! Enjoy your weekend. Hopefully you remember to take some time off now and then Smiley

2 of my 3 rigs are working fine but 1 of them I am getting the error message below. I tried to go back and find another person with this error but didnt have such luck. I am writing this on that machine so the internet is working. This is the same batch file on my other 2 rigs as well. Any ideas would be great

Thanks - Keep up the great work Terk!



Figured it out - Wireless card went bad. Replacing it fixed the issue.

Now to get CGMiner working on the old rig (5870/6970) so that can finally be hands free

What GPUs are you using?

1 ATI 6970 and 1 5870 in that rig. When I double click the CGminer launcher it opens and closes so fast I can't see where the error is in the bat file. Got my other 2 rigs (5 - 280x's) running CGMiner fine.
