Folding@Home new TPB & suprbay team
#1
folding@home is all about curing diseases by linking computers across the world creating a supercomputer (currently it's the 5th largest in the world) the supercomputer then does various computations to cure cancers, infectious diseases and neurological disorders. currently they also have a special project exclusively for covid19. best part is they get solid results that benefit everybody. tpb and sb used to have a team but it dropped off over the years and i was the only active client so i created another team. what you do is download the client for your operating system and then choose your nick and enter the team number 235188. it's headed by stanford univ but many others participate. here's a screenshot of the web control upper left, the client advance control to the right and bottom left is a certificate and to the right is the "folding" in action. your computer folds proteins to determine how they can be controlled in cures.

it may look horribly technical but it is easier than downloading or creating a torrent!
here is a link to their sight which explains all and the link to the newly created team.

I'll sign up.

Our household keeps computers 24/7.

EDIT: I just installed the client of this sucker.

I don't know how to start it.

It autostarts with Windows, don't know about other OS's. Just need to subscribe (create a new account and log in), instructions on site.

i'm not sure if you're up & running yet but you may have had a problem when you downloaded the client so it may be corrupted so just download and run again.  perhaps your firewall is blocking it so whitelist it although i've run it on several computers and never had to do either.  here's the f@h link for install guides:
