I finally finished my first WU.
When I started, Doug had done 3 or 4. Now he's at 14!

I'm finally on the TTG F@H stats page now, after gods know how long I've been folding for.
I'm DannyH if anyone's interested. |

There's another similar project called seti@home. The name should be pretty self explanatory, but if you don't have time to explain it to yourself (teehee) it is part of the "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence" project. You basically get chucks of 'recorded space' to analyze.
Check out http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

I chose F@H over seti just because personally I would far rather help with medical research than with seti.

Imo, I prefer use my computer's free resources for good purposes (as seekin' for cures for diseases) than searching something "irrelevant".

true...
Just thought it might be interesting... I must admit, its probably more rewarding to take part in something that gives tangible results...

It is interesting, but thereafter it's our own choice to use our processor power.

Yeah, I've read about that. If I could afford a PS3, I'd definitely be running F@H on it... it blows my PC right out of the water.

I do both Seti and Riesel Sieve. Right now Seti is having a hard time and I considered joining F@H but F@H does not work with BOINC, not yet anyway.
@Buuga: I know Seti only scans a small portion of the sky. But a few weeks ago a new earth-like planet was found (Gliese 581b) and probably more will be found (Gliese 581c is reported to be earth like too). Unfortunately Arecibo does not have enough range to point there (and its currently under maintenance), but imagine for one moment that in one of these planets life exist and maybe there is sentient life. Is trying to contact them irrelevant? Imagine if they are trying to contact us! And I could say the same about F@H (or any other project), maybe your precious folding result was already done by a private lab and is already under patent number 2942538573295358. My point is: if you feel a particular project is "irrelevant" or whatever, don't participate. Just don't bash that project. Just for the record, I find F@H a worthy cause, any project that aims to extend our knowledge in any area is worthy. |
