Top 20 Producers

I am surprised to find my name at number 13 on that list. It does make me feel good, but at the same time i know a lot of people have a much better folding setup. LTT is rank 11 and we are making ground on that 10th spot. With that being said we have a couple teams making ground on us. If you have been watching you know Nerdgasm has been growing and moving fast. I would like to see us rally up and stay in front of them. Every little bit helps. Also I would like to say thank you to everyone for folding or boinc. Whaler_99 why dont you pull some string and tell linus to build another folding rig. Be something good to put them old good for nothing Titan Xs in

Why don't we ask @Slick to go back and finish his video, in which he promised to optimize for Boinc at 10:01, but ended up never doing that?

We need folding warehouses, like the bitcoin mining things in china. I'm picturing dozens of multi-Titan XP systems folding 24/7. I assume nvidia would be happy to provide a few hundred of them... as for the electricity cost... hm...

Maybe if people realized that this is how you cure cancer, we'd actually get some funding

Will you start folding if people give you bunch of Titan X or would you start benchmarking 4K.

Trust me i would put just about any GPU to work folding. In fact i still got gtx 460s folding. My work lets me run them in the back office, It's how they help the cause. It's not about having the best of the best but rather everyone spreading the word and do what they can to help. I did not know about folding till my grandmother passed away. But at the end of the day it comes down to us to help. Unless people can start making money with it, then we will have more people folding and boinc then we know what to do with.

Yeah, nerdgasm hauling butt.

Though I don't fold for this forum. Everyone giving their all is a good thing.

Hehe, optimize. That probably entail install a Linux distro. Hard to beat a CPU computing under a Linux distro. Though, BOINC can be finky about installing depending on the distro.

Currently redoing my folder/boinc rig under Mint Mate. So far, I like it way more than Ubuntu.

Note though: If you are trying to install F@H on the latest Linux distros. It going to be a bit a pain now. Standford has not done any updates to their deb downloads so to get it running right. You now have to install, and do a few extra commands through terminal to get it going correctly. But once it is up and going, F@H runs nicely. Just initial setup now is a bit of pain in the rear to do now on the newer Linux distros.
