Guest amo Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 The story: A lot of us are on here what seems like forever, generally idling. Why not use all our spare cpu cycles to fold? We could start our own MoDaCo folding team like many other sites and organisations do and help motivate each other by competing to see who can fold the most and help cure diseases at the same time! For people who don't know what folding is, put down those ironed sheets and get clued up here. Post your comments here along with any ideas A Folding Team Has Been Started for MoDaCo! Download the client from you need to fold: windows graphical client. Windows Screensaver Version Windows Text Based Client Linux based console Mac OS X Client Install and run the installer and enter a username and for the team number enter the MoDaCo team number which is 34339. Thats it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lojt Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Hm, so this runs all the time in the background? Not like seti@home that only runs when its on screensaver? Im not sure i like that :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amo Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Its up to you when it runs, if you don't want it to run you dont have to. Chose the screensaver or graphical client and just run it when you want to fold instead of the text based client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
