Folding General Chat

Hi,

This thread is for general discussion about folding.

If you do not know what folding is check out the FAQ http://forums.codewalkers.com/showthread.php?t=833024 and click on what is folding we would love to have you as part of the team if you can.

If you fold and frequent this forum let me know and I will try and remember to post your milestones, other interesting information and welcome new members.

Good luck and hope you can be involved in our Fold to Cure.

Interesting idea - I am assuming it is similar to the SETI project (which is what I do). Can the project be added to my BOINC client? I don't mind having a secondary project for it.

Similar but different. The Folding project is a research project for studying protien folding. It is more about trying to find cures for problems we have today.

The points (the fun part) from your folding effort (for the Dev team) can be shown next to your posts like mine.

It is a great cause if you want to (and can afford to) put your spare cpu cycles to use. You can get a lot more details in the link I mentioned or in Dev Hardware http://www.devhardware.com/forums/dev-folding-29/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the f@h client has anything to do with BOINC, except sharing the idea of distributed computing. So you need the folding client.

For some reason I couldn't manage to get the client to run completely in the background. But that's ok, I don't mind having one extra terminal window open.

You are correct about BOINC.

Congratulations on the folding award, great recognition for a new folder to the Dev team - Fold to Cure.

Im folding with my PS3 24/7, just haven't changed my user number in the user CP, cant seem to find it.......

Edit: Argh lost about 100+ Work Units for my stats because I changed from TeamUbuntu to DevFolding..... achk

Andrew, it is great to have you on board and thank you from our DevFolding team.

They are not lost they just stay with your previous team but if you mean they do not show up for DevFolding you are correct, which is a bit of a setback in terms of your team points.

With that machine folding 24/7 you will quickly make up ground within our team. Fold to Cure

Yeh thats what I meant. Theyre still with Team Ubuntu. PS3's are really great for folding It makes my Quadcore AMD Desktop look like a 386.....

My folding stats on here seem to be updating... it was a bit of a pain to find my ID though...

Just passed 1,000,000 folding points

Very proud , just passed 2,000,000 points

Just passed 2,500,000 and in the top 1,000 worldwide for our devfolding team.

Come along and join us if you can, we can always use more team members.

If you have a recent NVidia or ATI card you can also use those to fold and earn some good points compared to most CPU folding.

Well a new milestone for me:

5,000,000

Also now in the top 400 folders worldwide.
