Notice: You are now required to sign up each month, be sure to sign up for this month's event and each event going forward

What is the Foldathon?

Every month we hold a Foldathon, or FAT for short. The FAT is a mad dash over a 2 day period where we fold on as much hardware as we can get our grubby fingers on and try to amass the most points possible. It is winner takes all. Okay, that's not true, but if you're lucky you might win something, probably not, but you will have made a honourable contribution to the science behind Folding@Home. What is that science you're probably asking, have a gander over here to learn more. All units crunched for team 37726 count, even if you can only manage to complete one unit, but if you're already a folder, there's no excuse for not folding for the full 48 hours
:wubsmiley


How it works:

Sign-up and run Folding@home for Overclock.net (team number: 37726) during the specified times. Those who Fold will be entered into a drawing to win the prizes listed below. If you still don't know what Folding@home is or need some help getting started, feel free to post here, make a thread in the Overclock.net Folding@Home Team forum or check this guide: FAHControl v7 for both CPU and GPU

SIGN UP HERE

You can verify whether or not you're signed up by looking for your name here in the member list.

If you don't submit any points during a Foldathon, you will be removed from the list, this is to push for active participation in the event.

You are required to re-sign up each month for the prize option, this is to hopefully push a little more active participation in the event as well and prevent prizes going to people who aren't active in the community.

When:

12:00EST / 16:00UTC Monday August 21st - 12:00EST / 16:00UTC Wednesday August 23rd 2017

Countdown to start

Reminders:

If you would like to be put on a reminder list for all future Foldathons, please join this group: Foldathon Participants

I've finally got good enough cooling and enough of a life away from my computer to be able to fold

I'll sign up as soon as I've completed my first work unit!

Do you guys recommend researching for any disease, or a specific one?

Not sure how temps will be since this weird heat wave isn't letting up (but there's the promise of it doing such in the next few days) but I'm signed up!

Signed up.

I would like to donate one American dollar as a prize for any random folder who completes at least one work unit in this month's Foldathon. I will send a single dollar bill via US Mail anywhere in the world.

It's more than OCN is doing for its folding team...

I... think I signed up. Tried to make an account, which stated it succeeded but sent me no email and won't let me log in. I have no way of knowing whether the sign up worked or not.

In. Luckily my area didnt flood during Irma. Every area around me flooded pretty bad though. These 2 tropical storms in the atlantic better screw off. 2 major hurricanes back to back is enough. Also getting 379$ back from a laptop warranty and i wanna pickup a 1070 but god damn these inflated prices still. Anyone selling a non reference 1070? xD

How do I change it so that I am not qualified for the prizes? I don't know why I had that picked when I signed up a while back.
