dex: lol! i can understand someone who first hears about the project being skeptic of the CPU+GPU power actually helping research and/or if that research will actually be useful in an immediate form (it most probably won't). you could have read up on the project itself and educate yourself a bit more on who is behind it and what they're working on (it's not just corona). and if you don't think the project is worth your extra CPU+GPU you can always just ignore it, or go back to letting it idle, or mining cryptocurrency, or whatever. no one is forcing you to use it or believe in it, we're just mentioning it's out there and people can contribute if they want. but clearly it's much easier for you to just be an ass and insult other peoples beliefs. projecting your frustrations about the pandemic much?

wysiwtf: it might not solve anything in immediate terms, but it'll still likely help research going forward. if you don't want to waste your CPU+GPU on it, you're in your right, don't bother with it.

Wow!

Let's hit the top 1k then. I wanted to buy AMD hardware anyways for being able to fix the crashes in our shaders on gargaj's hardware *g

Withdrawing my support. Here's why:

The ongoing bioweapons cold war between superpowers is yet again a game that can have no winners. I am opposed to further fan that fire with my teraflops. F@H compute is not a peanut, it has reached exascale.

The upcoming 2 exaflops El Capitan machine is intended primarily for what? Yes, weapons research with the NNSA (National Nuclear Security Administration).

Meanwhile, they try to break end-to-end encryption once more with the EARN IT act.

Just my two cents. You must do what you think is right, of course.

Ima use my CPU to mine minecraft blocks

here is my production of 3d printed face shields, already 200 dispatched around my town to local hospital, liberal nurses, etc...

what are liberal nurses?

private sector nurse or independent nurse, not sure how do you says that properly.

Team deinetickets.de stats tell me, we are now on rank 1713 of 250579 and hit the 50 M points!
Nice =) thanks for all your effort. This is cool :)

100M achievement, after almost one year of folding


gpus go brrr

hyper nice! congrats :) also this is a really nice rig, is it a miner or did you build it for donating to f@h?

Yeah it's originaly a miner, i've built it in 2018, it used to mine ethereum and monero for arround 1 year, then did a bit of hashs cracking for arround one year too, and now it just do folding for science, soon one year too.
Those gpus are robust, my electricity bill too :)

I see some physical bitcoins next to the PSU there :) I read that the mining of cryptocurrency is rising to become an environmental problem so it's good that you've taken your rig out that madness.

at some point, I think @home should start mining bitcoins using those shared computers
and use bitcoin money to hire real people and invest in education

ah the good old story of generating money out of (polluted) air...
i just hope greta visits every single of you bitcoin idiots to punch directly into your dumb face.

oh no "we have to save energy" bullshit

energy can not be "saved" it already produced and Power station generates electricity base on statistical usage of electricity, oil/coal/nuclear fuel already spend, and lots of heat from Power station already in air...

not using produced electricity is just stupid, its literally burning resources

wat

I will not reply to this logical fallacy.

well that didn't work out so well

how quickly this thread escalated from "let's combine our enormous loads of hardware and make a difference fighting this fcking plague" to "Greta punches NR4 in the face" :P I hope she doesn't. Even though my hardware consumes a lot of power when rendering offensive high-end demos.

I'm still not replying to it :)
