Who knows... . Atleast its very awsome to see that in blockchain crypto world there is Stansford University and its Fldc project. What they trying to achive its very brilliant and wise! I hope and wish them that they find cure and help trough this for those very poor people sick with deseases like cancer and alzheimer. Particularly this can save millions of lives in future!
Just to clarify that Stanford has nothing at all to do with FLDC, CURE, or any other crypto. The F@H project is a completely separate DCN project. Participation in the F@H project is rewarded by the FLDC team and the CURE team.

Re: [ANN] FoldingCoin - MINE FOR MEDICINE- PHASE 2.0
Hi, I like the way you guys are heading with this. I'm a veteran folder (over 12 years) and about 18 months for team Curecoin. It's nice to see both teams gain some exposure and interest from the recent price increase.
My reason posting is in regards to your all-in-one installer. I'm wondering if that would be in breach of Stanfords license. It's worth checking out before launching it.

Re: [ANN] FoldingCoin - Mine for medicine, Scrypt and SHA256 ASIC proof
I said built into the design - there's a difference. Same with power, voltage, thermal cycling. All are a range of values built into the design. keep all the variables within design parameters and the IC will have same life expectancy.
I'm mining the x11 algorithm with my GTX 970 I have it set to only use 58% of the power with EVGA PrecisionX. I wanted to try to lower the GPU utilization in order to save the wear and tear on my card as this is my main PC Is there any way to lower the GPU utilization with ccminer?
or is utilization even the issue that I'm trying to correct if I want to save the life of the card?
Thanks in advance.
A GPU is a solid state device. No moving parts, no mechanics, therefore no wear and tear. As long as you keep to the default voltage and don't allow it to overheat it will last exactly the same amount of time running at 50% as it will running at 100%
100% wrong.
The hotter ANY electronic device runs, the shorter it's lifetime (on average) will be.
Running it at 100% WILL make it run hotter.
This is WHY manufacturers will VOID YOUR GUARENTEE if they can prove or have reasonable reason to believe you have overclocked a GPU (or CPU or any other device that has a clock that can be adjusted in it) - it puts quite a bit more heat stress on the components which shortens their lifetimes to quite a bit less than designed for.
No. A maximum temperature is built into the design of any IC. Running at 100% load will stay under that designed for temperature. Only going over this temp will result in heat damage. Overclocking and overvolting could do this - but in reality most IC's reduce power automatically to prevent it.
What CAN happen, is that a card might containsub-standard components (capacitors etc) that simply aren't specified to the level they need to be. (THIS is what manufacturers do to keep costs down)
okay awesome, I can't remember where but I thought I remembered reading that the strain from it running at 100% constantly could lead to the cards life being shortened.
That might have been referring to the fans. Obviously they are mechanical and do suffer from wear and tear.
Just a little FYI. I've been running a pair of 970's at 100% load with a 100mhz overclock, 24/7 for the past 9 months. They're actually running the Folding@home program which requires much higher levels of stability than mining or gaming does. Therefore undervolting is out of the question, and sometimes overvolting is needed to keep an overclock stable. Side effect of this is higher power usage and more heat. I've had the fans set to run 100% since day one, and just recently I've noticed a little "whining" starting, and also a little oscilation in the fans rotation.
