On the logo I would suggest to overlap once the red with the black line and once opposite. To give that DNA helix a bit more of a (even flat) 3D effect

That's what I mentioned in my last post above. Change name and passkey reset your bonus eligibility. And as you mentioned: 10 WU finished with the new passkey plus 80% success rate.
Nothing one do too often. And donors higher in the ranks loosing their position. Good thing: this team/coin is new, not much damage. The current names don't really have "personality"; most can't remember those. Plus myself would not change. Don't  want to loose my history ...

Serious ? Makeing the names even longer, forcing a reset on counter and QRB qualification this way ? Why should I do that and start again from Zero ? I wouldn't ... And the current market value wouldnt "convince" me neither.
Did you tried if the FAHClient support those longer names ?

Isn't there a way to let me keep my current name &, freedom of team selection ?

If researcher have to pay, specially non-commercial basic research as in Stanford, it would be easier for them just to buy cloud computing at Amazon or Google and don't need to deal with donors.

The initial intention of F@H was and still is: volunteering contribution to science.

Now that coins come into the picture is new, but the researcher can't pump their (public grants) money into those "outside" Eco systems. I could imagine they loose the grants as income. The value impression must come from the coin Eco system.

Yup, mostly. Reason: CPU still include the BA-style of WU which were not that much impacted. Main issue was that for GPU based system the assignment server handed out lots "old" core 15 (nV) and core 16 (AMD) instead of the desired core 17 and 18. People  don't like those because no quick return bonus and less PPD.

Plus the modern cards/driver seems to have trouble with the older cores. As a rough summary.

Patience ... And as soon we fold away all old cores they will not come back.

It would help, but keep in mind FAH mainly focus on basic research. Bringing a drug to market and patients takes much more after the basic research.

That said: keep folding !

Not possible to queue WU, at least I don't know a supported / standard way

nV and Ubuntu is what I have running with two GTX 780, happy camper. Would be more happy with two GTX 980 

I don't follow AMD news too much but I think they meanwhile also run under linux for folding; others might can confirm.

It can be risky from point of view, sometimes WU fail or deliver less points during beta testing and you wouldn't receive any help in the main support forum if not member of beta tester group.

Better set client type on advanced.

Oh, and linux as OS with client v7 also don't get any core 15 or 16 ;-)

Why is that ?  Why not, in spirit of transparency, at least read-access for everyone, posting could be ok with FLDC only.

Just my ¥2

Scope: http://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-diseases/

Results & papers: http://folding.stanford.edu/home/papers

Keep in mind that the project is supporting basic research and not direct product development.

Just some remark for the power required for a PC: yes, a Pentium can fold technically but it will take quite some time to finish some of the work units, could be easy more than a day.

It is expected that once a user start with a work unit (WU) it should be finished for the simple reason as the WU are sequential in nature. When such a sequence get interrupted by not finishing in certain timelines the overall science progress get delayed.

Plus modern GPU will get much more points will much less energy. So if your goal is folding & money: don't go in with too slow equipment.

Is your goal is primary the science: every hardware is useful and welcome.

There is also a client running under Google Chrome browser (NaCL). That one has smaller WU which easier could be finished on a Pentium.

That said: a Pentium driving two or three GPU is a great use of older hardware.

Welcome to folding ...

A helix ...

I'm anyway not sure if pink alone is a good choice. Sure, cancer is big area where a cure is need and many projects go this direction. But there is also other areas (e.g. Alzheimer's) not "covered" by pink.

The pink in the logo is ok, the pink in the text looks too dark for me. Don't need to be pink as in Pink Panther but a bit brighter ?

I like the C with the folded person inside: that's the topic of folding and cure. Maybe the color need some tweak ?

I think it can be very difficult to donate to a team. Like in my case our team is very different what the members are using and where are they living. We can't meet ever in person. The only donation your could do is a upgraded membership free from our forum. Or donate to PG instead.

One question I always has in mind and never had the time to ask:

What are the plans in case some server outage in Stanford happen? E.g. GPU server fail to send new assignments and a full day only a3 and a4 core will be assigned ? Would the daily rate of 7400 CUR be reduced or would that windfall to CPU folder would be processed
Or also happen that the stats server stops and cumulate feedback the net day. Until now nothing happen, no financial impact. But how would the coin react ?

I'm folding only one year now but I enjoyed very much the spirit, culture, helping and cheering in my home team. Or the support from other teams. It was always clear to everyone: folding is donation, folding is for free. Folding is for a number of personal reasons something someone decided to spend their resources on.
It was not business, it was not mining; though some members take it very serious with the investments and running costs they have each month. What I want to say: there is a grown, healthy and diverse team structure in the community.

And this is the biggest single issue I have with CureCoin: the need to join a dedicated team. To leave the home team for money. Feels not right.

Temporary leave is always ok, like I tried CureCoin during beta runs with FC and RC, also the first few days with the real coin for a learning experience. Others members cross-joined teams for some short term challenges/competitions. Fine too.

Or a more emotional example of temporary team switching: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=744019
Can you imagine member of this team would have joined this ?  With a significant part of their resources ?
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against money making, I need to pay for power and milk as anybody else; if someone inject enough real world money/value into crypto currency that's fine for me. Without this external input a coin like this is just a translation of the no-money-value PPD we have in F@H anyway. This is  the part of crypto currencies overall I still don't understand. Someone/late joiner will pay the prize. It has a strong ".com bubble" character to me

I would prefer a team-neutral setup; as it was mentioned in the early days of CureCoin. If one want to join team 224497 because it's the right team: perfect. No problem. But going out and actively try to attract the high performer from other teams effectively run other teams dry and eventually destroy would be very unfriendly and egoistic. As such against the original spirit of F@H as I understood.

Some 200 coins later it is already time for me to say good bye. I switched my little GPU power back to my home team.

Job well done from CygnusXI and his team. While it it obvious that CureCoin attracts quite a number of new users for folding, which is great for science, it is for the price of having a mono-team setup.

That's what I don't like so much.

I will continue looking after the project as it's linked to folding, which I really like. I will continue learning about the whole crypto currency thing, which I still not fully understand.

Keep folding !
