That's the weirdest looking vinyl I've ever seen!

For the Best Album Ever or should I say CD for your Age Group
  Yep! 1973 Was a Really Great Year.

I read CNBC/Bloomberg etc as part of my morning routine and saw this.  Haven't seen it anyplace else yet, but if these prognostications become widespread, even a little bit, I think you can bet curecoin and others will jump back in full bore and leapfrog us pretty quick

Bitcoin predicted to rise 165% to $2,000 in 2017 driven by Trump's 'spending binge' and dollar rally

I will take our Team over Coin any day.

Maybe it's time for my 750 FTW to upgrade to a 1060 or 970, every little bit helps.   Who are these Cure folks anyway?  The Chicoms?

Yes that and More.

CureCoin just hit 310 million ppd for two days in a row and with recent market trends it doesnt look like it'll slow down much. and at current rates they will overtake in less than a year.

Myself I really do not care if Curecoin is number 1 or number 100. We have a Great Team and that is all that counts.

+1 Bcav!  I have always thought that myself. I have seen the undying support we give one another here, that gives me a lot of pride. 
It is worth noting Curecoin's advance.

The community here is something that i doubt curecoin will ever have.

Try reinstalling the drivers.
Windows update has been screwing with the drivers and then folding has errors.
Worth a try.

What Bill & Chris said above +1
 
Windows does not load OpenGL for what ever reason,
 
Download the drive directly from Nvidia

So am I right in thinking that we here are Folding for the benefit to science whereas the guys at CureCoin are doing it for money (essentially).
 
Don't get me wrong I like that I get EVGA Bucks back for Folding but got to over 100m before I even realised EVGA did it.

Hard to tell what is in peoples hearts and minds. But, good bet they likely join that team for the money.
Better they fold and get money than use all that energy for just doing block-chain type mining.
That was their stated goal, to get the miners to switch to folding, for the research and the science.

For the normal profit chasers out there this is most certainly true. But one can not say all or even most are. I would bet that most who fold for coin do care about more than the dollar signs.

I remember back when EVGA first started their BUCK promotion, I was on another team.
Our team members were livid about it, and thought they were buying folders, it's not fair, yada yada yada.
Many many teams were not thrilled about it. Just like when these xxxcoin teams fired up.
 
The only problem I have with it is, will it hurt the project, people cheating, dumping work or other "Not best practices"
From what I have seen cheating is not wide spread if any at all and things seems to be going ok.
Stanford does not seem to care or have any major problems with the xxxxxcoin teams.
As long as no teams try to steal members from other teams, people are free to choose what team to be on.
Or to be on several teams if they want to.
Lets face it, electric and hardware is getting expensive in this day and age.
 

If curecoin passes EVGA it my fire up some team spirit and get people producing more, maybe more challenges.
No one can be #1 forever. Records are made to be broken and leaders have targets on their backs.

To be fair, there's some evga folders only doing it for the bucks as well.
To each their own, and good luck to them. As long as the science gets done I'm happy.

Some, I would think at least Half. But then that is why they stated to Fold in the first place. And this is OK Great Even.
Me I stated with hunger of the Old BigAdv Days with P4 and P2 and did not even know about the EVGA Bucks.
Now it just part of my life, and my heat in the Winter Time.

 Many or most of us are doing it for both - I was doing some folding years before CureCoin existed, and I believe before EVGA Bucks program existed.
 I certainly didn't make money from almost all of my VERY long involvement with the Distributed.net project (I didn't get involved with Moo Wrapper / BOINC / Gridcoin 'till very late last year, after 18+ YEARS working DES/RC5-64/CSC/RC5-72 and occasional accidental OGR work - and Gridcoin isn't really profitable, it SOMETIMES pays the electric for the gear I point that way but I can make a lot more from that gear if I pointed it at cryptocoin mining on ZEC among other options).
 I also was a long-time contributer to the GIMPS prime project - for which there is NO "for-profit" option at all.
 (edit) just checked, I'm still at #679 on the all-time GIMPS contributor list despite having done zero GIMPS work for a year and some now.
 
 The fact that I can now make money at folding means I get to add MORE hardware to do MORE folding than I could do otherwise - which is a definite benefit to Pande Labs / Stanford / science, even if it is done in part due to a "for profit" motive. I could not AFFORD to be in the Folding top 400 or a frequent visitor to the "24 hour average top 30" without CUREcoin.
 
 In the specific case of Ed Okkola, he DONATES every CURE he makes to various places - but he's a fairly high income type that doesn't need the money, investment banker or some such IIRC.

Most of us are not here "for-profit" anyway.

It has been 9 month since you have been Folding are you going to start back up?
 
BOINC QuintLeo from Gridcoin Big on Moo! I see
Who is Ed Okkola?
