When I did the first folding sprint, a five-day mid-week madness, I never thought it would become a regular thing, yet here we are. 

 

The folding sprint is on the one hand a nod to our few southern hemisphere members while also trying to help out the folding protect, who often see their processor count drop during the summer. The aim is simple, make as many points as you can for the week while trying to stay as cool as possible. Folding is an incredibly finicky software and is a great way to tell if your system is truly 100% per cent stable. 

 

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 is 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. 

 

 

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.

https://foldingathome.org/papers-results/

 

To qualify for prizes you must meet the minimum requirements for participation which for this event will be as follows minimum requirements: 100k points, 14WUs, and 7 days of activity over the course of the whole week. This means, you miss a day and you are out of the running. As always, 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 entry for prizes.

 

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

 

 

 

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! Bear in mind it can take some time for your first WUs to appear so leave it a day or two.

Yes sir! I participated twice and if I manage to participate this year again I won't be a newbie any longer. 🥳

And I also have more powerful hardware now that I need to test 🤓

I mean I've know this (about sprints not qualifying for badges) but this feels like a contradiction?

"A high ideal missed by a little, is far better than low ideal that is achievable, yet far less effective"

 

If you think I'm wrong, correct me. If I've offended you in some way tell me what it is and how I can correct it. I want to learn, and along the way one can make mistakes; Being wrong helps you learn what's right.
