This is usually the place that I talk about how the weather is getting hotter and the like. We have moved past that a little and the majority of the summer is now behind us. But yet we are here with the "summer" folding sprint. There are many reasons why someone may want to fold, to win prizes, for the bragging rights and hopefully the drive to support the furthering of human knowledge. No matter the reason why you fold, you are welcome here. 

 

What is Folding@Home

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 and most recently COVID19. 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. 

 

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.

https://apps.foldingathome.org/getpasskey

 

Please remember that I will be writing my usual daily update blog once the event kicks off, the blog can be found linked below.

This is just a PSA, the folding team is historically 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.

Thank you, I was hoping you'd all see it at different times and it would spread them out. Maybe wishful thinking lol

PSA - When you sign up please make sure you have the 'case' of the letters in your folding name correct, it messes  up the script that gets the daily points if it's wrong. I've already caught a couple that were wrong but we can't guarantee to catch all of them.

Eh, guess I'll sign up.  Not sure if my CPU only-ness will be able to churn out the points to qualify me though.

Awesome to have you as always!
