Folding@home is a network of volunteer computers distributed around the world that aims to perform biomedical research with the single intent of helping to further understand and develop cures for a range of diseases such as; Alzheimer's, cancer, and Parkinson's. The exact research that is done is simulating the 'folding' of proteins in the body, this is important because the function of a protein id directly related to its physical shape. And this, when the protein is created in the body it needs to reshuffle its shape to get into the correct structure to perform its task. Many illnesses can be linked to faulty proteins in the body such as many cancers and neurological issues, along with a wide number of other general health concerns. This network if compared with the TOP500 list of supercomputers would outclass every single entry on the list, Folding@home is the world's fastest computing systems, with a speed of approximately 2.1 exaFLOPS. It is significantly faster than any compute system ever created and faster than even the fastest current such systems in the design phase.
 
If you are wondering what exactly has been done with all this computing power then you can check out the papers written by the scientists and researchers that use the folding network, I will warn you though many of them are very in depth reads and in turn this means they are often fairly technical.

To qualify for badges you must meet the minimum requirements for participation which for this event will be as follows minimum requirements: 500k points, 40WUs, and 20 days of activity over the course of the whole month. This is subject to change for future events as we find out what the sweet spot is to include as many people as possible but not make it too easy to just get a free badge. 
 
PASSKEYS! (they're really important)
 
Don't forget to get yourself a passkey from the link below to ensure that you hit the points requirement, the passkey is a feature that was added a while ago to the Folding Client that helps to authenticate each user on the network, an added bonus of this is the fact that it allows you to qualify for QRB(Quick Return Bonus) Points, QRBs are extra points you earn for submitting work units more quickly, such as if you have faster hardware or let the client fold full time, rather than on idle. QRB credit is awarded after 10 WUs have been submitted. You can get your passkey from the link below.

COVID-19
COVID-19 still remains a massive prority for Foldin@Home, we are here to continue to unite with the legion of other folders from around the globe who have taken up the fight against COVID-19.
 
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common across the world.  These viruses can cause mild symptoms ranging from a fever and cough to more serious conditions such as severe pneumonia, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. 
In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2) was first identified in Wuhan City, China.  This virus has now spread to affect practically every human population on the planet. It is the largest health crisis seen in 100 years and a massive global concerted effort has been launched to find a cure, a vaccine or even the simplest form of treatment. And that is where folding@home comes in, partnered with The Covid Moonshot team; the folding network is being used to find existing drugs that could prove to be an effective treatment for the virus. 
 
This is just a PSA for the new guys here, the folding team is a small close knit community, so here's a few things I'd like you all to keep in mind. It doesn't hurt to say thank you, if someone has genuinely helped you out don't forget to drop a reaction on their posts, help others where ever you can and finally we are a team first and always. 
 
Check your stats out here! Bare in mind it can take some time for your first WUs to appear so leave it a day or two.

Please follow the guides below to help with set-up and troubleshooting. These are mostly older guides but are still quite useful for most things.
 
 

I am using my 3600 at 4.35 GHz at 1.29v with a -0.100v. At max load its staying at around 1.25v. It doesn't get past 80c with F@H running

I have now replied to all current outstanding messages regarding prizes!
 
Thanks again for everyone getting involved, you are all beautiful people!

This project is a real bottleneck to PPD when I get 1m points with RX 5700

If the pause/ unpause doesn't work for you try using the client-type advanced flag. It will unlock a lot more WUs

If the pause/ unpause doesn't work for you try using the client-type advanced flag. It will unlock a lot more WUs

When you stop gaming so you can fold more.

That's a tricky WU, even if it runs on my rx 5700 I get 30% less PPD than normal WUs

Due to the fact that in my tired state I will struggle to remember the clocks have changed the event has now moved to BST, so we will be running on GMT+1
 
Hope this is okay with everyone!

I'm using RX5700 and it estimates 900k-1m PPD and I have hit that 980k in 24 h

that be the overwhelmed servers. I guess you could donate at https://foldingathome.org/about/donate/ but turn around time is probably rather slow and also out of your budget < .>

In my case I have trouble getting CPU WUs. My GPUs are getting new ones before I even finish and I have set it to 96%

Me too!
 

Me too!
 

YAY!

After digging though my office for random bits, stealing from other systems, sacrificing some parts from a planned ebay part ITX build I started, but had no case for and a little 3D printing and zip ties to fill in the gaps of a makeshift body on a monitor stand, this abomination what brought online.

When powered, its first words to me were "What is my purpose?" and I said "To fold for LTT!", and that is what it is doing ever since...

 Meet Creaser, the spare part folding bot!

Well time to update.. RIP me guys!

That would be @Den-Fi
 
@Gorgon is just as mental
