Today we say farewell to the NixMcRetro account on Team Curecoin at Folding@home. We did well with 1,422 workunits folded counting up a massive 15,692,754 points! Farewell tears aside, we join Team dogefolders as a Dogecoin wallet address!

Why the change? Less wallets, that’s why! Plus DogecoinFah is donation-based relying on generosity of those who have been holding their doge.

The Curecoin wallet hadn’t worked for me for a few years on macOS. I live on macOS, making that rather incompatible with my way of life. The Dogecoin wallet had been working nicely for me, with versions for Windows, macOS and Linux. Even better, I was able to cash out my 67 cure for around 21 doge. Nice!

I also had 16-odd Gridcoins but they kinda got lost on a random exchange. I didn’t quite have enough to cover the fees to get them converted to another crypto and back into my wallet. I was quite late to the game for Gridcoin, so the return wasn’t spectacular. At least their wallet was functional on macOS.

None of the above recoups anything though. Thankfully we are not in this for the sweet, sweet cryptocurrency. No, we’re here to fold proteins and perhaps have a bit of fun on the side. For the fun part, doge just makes sense! Time’s such person of the year in 2014? In meme-land, absolutely.
