    Re: Folding@Home

    Unfortunately I don't really have any resources to spare since I'm trying to help as much as I can with BOINC projects for the team challenges we enter. What I can't figure out, is this: since programmers have been able to make a wrapper for so many other projects out there, and distribute the WUs and credits to BOINC clients, then why cannot they do the same for Folding@Home? Seems to me it would be somewhat the same as they've already done for other projects. What would make this one different?

    If I remember correctly Boinc was offered to FAH and theey said NO! They preferred to run the show themselves. I ran FAH after Boinc took over SETI but I haven't run it for a long time now. I tried o get into my old account but couldn't. I will have to do some investigating.

    RETIRED. NO JOB. NO MONEY. NO WORRIES!

    Crunched SETI Classic to the end.

    There are too many project within BOINC, I can't go chasing after everyone with a project. If they can't bother with Boinc I don't bother with them.

    Those are my feelings as well. It's also easier to keep track of my credits when they're all in one place.
