Ahoy brother. Good to have you here with us.
I'll be shooting you a quick PM first thing when I push the code.

Yes ofcourse I have. Str4d has managed to compile the ol' codebase just like I did. And he put up a nice CI system on GitHub.
And now he's carefully documented it so that noone else has to spend the wee hours that we did to get the thing to actually compile.
These things are very commendable of him as it enables others to more easily join in on the project.
Other than that str4d hasn't been making any changes to the code itself recently that I know of, and thus 'his' version does not "support" OPENMM_22 any more than 'mine' does.
I expressly disabled 22 on 'mine' because the malformed data commonly crashes the app and tbh the purple cube looks quite meaningless to me. (it's also missing all nitrogen atoms)
And I bet that the product owner would prefer scientific accuracy over random abstract art aswell.
Really, we gotta get that core fixed / interpreted, and then we can talk perfect viewer.
Which is the very next step as far as I'm concerned.

Since CPU and older GPU cores are now totally working idk what exactly you're trying to add to the discussion with this.
Are you in the arena or not. I've seen your FAH_WrapperGPUTrajectory and it looks quite impressive tbh, y'have skill.
So now:

Where tf do we start lol.

Hi there! Yes I've seen mr. Coffland's name all over the place and I'm about to push this update to his GitHub.
Hoping that it will be received well, as he and I haven't worked with each other before.
Regarding your fundraising idea: While there may not be much of an excuse for years and years of delay, right now his support may be fully needed to keep F@H running smoothly.
I'm not exactly sure what throwing money in his direction at this exact COVID-19 time would achieve and if that would help or hurt the greater cause.
On the other hand I do think it may effect a whopping -7.5% churn rate and +2.5% of new members whenever the viewer is working.
So that's like.. another 10% directly: ~+150 pflops. That's equal to one supercomputer, literally.
Coming on top of some other long-term branding effects that are somewhat harder to put into numbers.
Thing is: given the nature of software debugging, releasing a core update risks destabilizing the machinery.
And if such were to happen while we're all folding at 1.5 exaflops then everyone's gonna regret that decision.
Thus we may want to brace for a "don't touch that!!" attitude right now, perhaps rightfully so.
By all means correct me if I'm wrong ofcourse, this is just the way I see it right now.
