On Windows, the All-In-One FoldingBrowser Installer provides a quick setup for running Folding@home to earn both CureCoin and FoldingCoin.
- Install the Folding@home software
- Pick a Folding@home Username & get a Passkey
- Enter
224497as the Folding@home Team number to fold under - Register on Curecoin Research Core website with the exact same username (50 characters or less) used in Folding@home
- Complete some Folding@home Work Units, and expect your CureCoins within 24-32 hours!
CureCoin GitHub Releases has the Windows, Mac, Linux wallet downloads.
CureCoin v2.0 is a mandatory update. Older wallets need to be updated to this version (or newer) to work correctly.
NOTE: The blockchain, wallet.dat, and other settings like the curecoin.conf file go in the hidden folders at:
- Windows:
C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\curecoin - Linux:
~/.curecoin - Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/curecoin
If the wallet is not syncing immediately, just be patient. Let the wallet run for a day, and will sync up with the network once it finds other nodes to connect to. If the wallet is not connecting to other nodes:
- You may need to Port Forward port
9911on your router to the wallet PC. - You can add additional seed nodes in a
curecoin.conffile, from Network 'Node List' Buttons, like:addnode=111.111.111.111 addnode=222.222.222.222
If you do not use Linux, see previous section for a pre-built wallet. There are two CureCoin Linux based clients that you can compile for yourself: one with a nice graphical interface, and one that operates entirely in the command-line. The first is highly recommended and is a good choice for most users, but expert users may prefer the command-line (headless) client instead. The GUI client is known as "curecoin-qt" and the headless client is called "curecoind". Installing either one or both is extremely simple. Just follow these directions:
This involves downloading the source, meeting the dependencies, compiling the code, and then installing the resulting software.
- Install Git, if needed:
sudo apt install git - Get the source code:
git clone https://github.com/cygnusxi/CurecoinSource.git

NOTE: If it fails to compile (undefined reference to `SSLeay_version'), then you may need to do these extra steps:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev
[Reboot] NOTE: ensure the PC is fully updated, and 'libssl1.0-dev' is installed after the items at the beginning.
cd curecoin/CurecoinSource
qmake
make
./curecoin-qt
From the Debug console window in the CureCoin Wallet (Help | Debug | Console), use: help. Common commands are:
listaddressgroupingswill show all of your wallet's addresses, to find any other non-zero balances in hidden wallet addressesdumpprivkey <curecoinAddress>importprivkey <curecoinPrivkey> [label]
Or, there are other commands for starting the wallet with the command line (Windows examples):
- For the command list, use:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CureCoin\curecoin-qt.exe" -? - The most common one would be closing the wallet, and start it up from the command prompt once with the
-zapwallettxescommand line argument, like:"C:\Program Files (x86)\CureCoin\curecoin-qt.exe" -zapwallettxes, which will update and clear out any invalid transactions. - Or, you can make a copy of a desktop shortcut and modify the Properties | Shortcut Target to be like the command above.
