## CureCoin Wallet
### Overview
If you are a newcomer, check out the [CureCoin website](https://curecoin.net/) which explains CureCoin in simple and everyday terms. You can find statistics on the current state of the CureCoin research rates on the [Team Stats Page](https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=224497) and blockchain status and info on the [CureCoin Block Explorer](https://chainz.cryptoid.info/cure/)
### Joining the CureCoin network is easy:
On Windows, the [All-In-One FoldingBrowser Installer](https://github.com/Hou5e/FoldingBrowser/releases) provides a quick setup for running Folding@home to earn both CureCoin and FoldingCoin.
### Or, setup for getting CureCoin only for running Folding@home with any username:
1. Install the [Folding@home software](https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/), or the [F@H Chrome Browser plugin](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/foldinghome/hmnbjdgjgikbkapaolimfoidihobnofo) (CPU only, better for lower power laptops)
2. Pick a Folding@home Username & get a [Passkey](https://apps.foldingathome.org/getpasskey)
3. Enter "224497" as the Team number to fold under
4. Register on [cryptobullionpools.com](https://www.cryptobullionpools.com/) with the **exact** same username (50 characters or less) used in Folding@home
5. Expect your CureCoins within 24-32 hours!
## Standard Wallet Installation
[CureCoin GitHub Releases](https://github.com/cygnusxi/CurecoinSource/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.
## Linux Installation From Source
If you do not use Linux, see previous section for a prebuilt 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:
- **Install Steps For Linux**
This involves downloading the source, meeting the dependencies, compiling the code, and then installing the resulting software.
git clone https://github.com/cygnusxi/CurecoinSource.git
### FOR THE GUI CLIENT:
> 1. **sudo apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libminiupnpc-dev libdb5.3++-dev dh-make build-essential**        
> 2. From the main directory, run the following:
> 3. **qmake && make**
### FOR THE HEADLESS CURECOIND:
> 1. **sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libssl-dev libdb5.3-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev dh-make build-essential**        
> 2. **cd src**
> 3. **make -f makefile.unix**
> 4. **sudo make install**     {Alternatively, don't run that command, and just place the binary wherever you want}
### Linux Example: Typical CureCoin GUI Wallet Install Steps on Mint 19:
