Folding Forum

CBT, how can they publish this information, and remain anonymous as donors?

It's a start for RMouse, but with 715 points, he is number 978,300 in the ranking of all folders, as of today's date. With a total of 1,620,353 for all FAH folders, that puts his ranking at number 978,300, and thus in the top 60.38% of all FAH folders. Not bad at all for having folded 3 work units. ...

And Kasson reassured the message is clear to donors : We understand that donors may decide to redirect their priorities. We are thankful for all donations that people have made in the past . ..... They don't need your - donors' - help from now on .. :shock: Now, you're going to pick apart Kasson's ...

If we had the funds to build what they (Facebook and Google -- ed.) do, we wouldn't be running a volunteer distributed computing project, but just computing directly on that infrastructure, as we have done in a recent collaboration with Google. This says it all... they would if they could drop dono...

These problem are not going to be resolved in a few days. Most of us have been folding for years, some, for a decade or longer. We need to be patient. Whatever PG decides, it will require some careful thought, and possibly even a job hire. These things don't happen overnight. I mentioned earlier tha...

@ Khali: I'd like to see FAH running full speed ahead. I'm a fan of PG (who make the wu's possible) AND a fan of the folders, (who run the simulation for the study). I don't like the BA threshold being raised twice within 90 days, on short notice, and I don't like the lack of an explanation for it, ...

(...) there are things that donors need to know about FAH, but there are many details that we do not need to know. Evidently, whoever has been deciding on the scope of "need to know" isn't exactly succeeding... LOL. We know, PG are not Ph.D's of media communications - got it! :lol: Re-has...

Tear, there are things that donors need to know about FAH, but there are many details that we do not need to know. Word Community Grid is one example that has a good balance of this, imo. Rosetta on the other hand, has an administrator who is most difficult to work with. I would like FAH to find tha...

The confidence level will naturally decline as the number of months increase, but folders wanted a firm 12 month road map. So if the road map ran with the calendar year, and Intel released a 48 core cpu in June - the BA threshold would be kept unchanged at 32, until December 31st of that year. Altho...

Special thanks to Nookie Bandit for sending me a new points system to study. Whether we need a new point system or can adjust the current one, is unclear to me, at this time. We've had some thoughtful suggestions for it, but from a quick look at them, they appear to be overly complex and might subst...

I have been asked to post this summary. These are the recommendations most everyone agreed with, and brief notes to put them in context. 1) A clear longer term road map, accurate for at least the next six months, preferably for a year. Folders will be looking to buy hardware, with folding as one big...

Christian, that delay is a courtesy. I said I would give it. Can't renege now.

Just a note FYI. I have compiled the list, and PM'd it to Bruce. The list was created from posts in this thread, as well as posts in the [H]ardOCP BA change thread. Since I was a few hours late getting it done, I'll wait until the 11th to post it here. Thanks to all those who PM'd me, and to many po...

Adak your wrong on that. WCG sent out a poll asking how they could make it better for donors and what they mite need to change ,They email out xmass cards saying thanks. If I do not crunch for them for a month or so they ask where I am.In other words they at least make it look like they care. PG co...

It's not the thank you's... it's the way they do it... as if it is secondary to their needs in my mind. So you were thanked, you admit, but it the STYLE of the thank you, that wasn't good enough for you. Oh dear! What a calamity! Call out the National Guard - Viper97 has not been thanked in the man...
