You Could if you get Enough PPD To get close to 1 Million points a month From OCN prizes.
Various forums such as eVGA run cash/prize give-aways for their folders but as far as I know it's not really possible to make that much money unless you pull massive amounts of points like clamatowas - I'm sure there would be a bit of a bounty to have clam on your team


The only other way I can think you'd save money is using the heat generated during the winter instead of running heating inside your house.

Unless you had free electricity you would be spending more on electricity... Folding is about the cause not the prizes or money.

If you're only interested in folding because you are wanting cash out of it then I really feel bad for you and hope you look into the reason for folding and you decide to fold for the cause and not to try and get something out of it.

Sure there are contests and promotions, but the number one reason to fold is for the cause of finding a cure and every little bit could possibly help out in the long run.

Fold because you want to help, not because you want something in return.

Couldn't have put it better myself. I'm sure the vast majority of folders worldwide fold for the cause and not just prizes. I can understand some people swapping to teams that offer prizes or money so they can afford to keep on folding; after all, the results all end up in the same place regardless of what team you are folding for.

I fold cause it costs me Nothing And the Prizes are just a Bonus.
You truely are best off folding for the cause. Even sites that pay dont even pay enough to cover power/parts/etc. I fold when I can afford the power, but a folding rig makes a darn good room heater.

Wow. That is like asking "How much money can I make doing an AIDS charity walk?"

That is absolutely pathetic. You should volunteer at a local soup kitchen during this holiday season. Maybe it would inspire you to help people selflessly.

In the mean time why dont you read through these threads for some inspiration.

i honestly dont understand what your problem is, if someone is asking a simple question, why not answer it nicely, rather then requesting the thread to be closed and deleted, it is a question, all it is.

thats like going to walmart or such, asking a question and them telling you to leave. honestly.

on topic: as many said before, you can win prices in most forums / communities that are bigger into folding. but real hard cash is unusual and would be used by a lot more people i think.

OCN is a forum, in forums we have discussions. Sometimes you won't like the discussions, and sometimes you will. Some members may not like this particular discussion, if not, don't contribute and move on. The OP is simply asking a question. Unfortunately most people think of themselves and money above all else. You need to understand that's how it is.

I guess what bothered me is that he already asked a similar question in the first thread he made. Then a day later he starts this one. In my opinion he already got an answer and didnt need to pursue it further.

For the record I didnt officially ask the mods to close the thread by reporting it. I just stated my opinion which is what we do in forums.

OCN gives away various prizes but most people don't fold for the money.
