Re: Please don't let this go to waste

This topic has an amazing amount of input: - reach out to cloud providers for help, do you think AWS would love a press headline saying "AWS rejected storage for F@H project trying to tackle coronavirus"? Or google? Why the hell wouldn't they just give it out for free? - tax deductible don...

Re: Please don't let this go to waste

No one expected this sudden surge in donors. You can always donate financially. They can use those funds to upgrade their infrastructure. Also, if you are bored and want to help, install Foldit. Through this 'game' you can fold proteins yourself :wink: They are currenyly also dedicated to fighting ...

Re: Please don't let this go to waste

You can get more people to be here "for a long haul". Make them feel important. Right now your answers are "yeah, we are here for a long haul, we don't care blah blah intel nvidia blah massive numbers blah results will be open publicized blah blah 10 years". Do better for more pe...

Re: Please don't let this go to waste

You know this attitude just makes me, as a newcomer, and many others I believe to just think "f* it" and never come back.

There's no time for being a snob.

Realize that you got a lot of hot heads in the game that are curious and it's your job to keep them engaged.

USE IT!

Re: Please don't let this go to waste

Delegate, make docs available to create work units, not just for Covid-19 but for other projects.

Most importantly - keep engagement high, explain results, even if they are little.

Re: Please don't let this go to waste

You need to fix your press and community relations asap. You may have noticed that F@H is run by Biochemists, their press and community relations skills are poor, or they would have majored in Marketing. ASK FOR HELP! You probably have no idea how many people are here. I can help, I am from marketi...

Re: Please don't let this go to waste

If you need help with anything tech-related - don't be shy to reach out to people.

Do press coverage, ask and get help!

It's as prime time for this project as it can be.

You need to fix your press and community relations asap.

Re: Please don't let this go to waste

https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32743 FAH is a bit different than some other *@home distributed computing project. Every single WU is unique and we try to make sure it's completed once and only once. Many other sites are content to assign "busy work" so you have somethin...

Please don't let this go to waste

My PC is on 24/7, I have installed folding at home and it's idle for most of the time due to "NO WU". I feel bored. I am ready to donate but my "donation" is not being used. Dear Researchers, this is a unique oppty for you to give it all to the crowd. I have no clue how hard it i...
