Starting Folding@Home or Seti@Home Team -

xlgimmewarlx · 05-12-2003, 05:27 PM

I think that creating a Seti@Home team, or Folding@Home team would be great advertisment, as well as challenge for Xoxide.

Please answer this thread truthfully, and honestly as it will be taken into consideration as well as this proposal will be given to the Moderators/Owners of Xoxide. As i will discuss various benefits, etc about having a team.

Well, okay. You got my attention - I'd like to thank you for your time, and i'll make this simple as i recognize your time is money, and crucial. Folding@Home help are society by reconstructing protein cells, etc. It uses Spare CPU Cycles, and puts your processor into full load. It runs dreams for a burning in program, as well as you will help us all in the long run.

Alright, i'll fold, so what's in it for me? - Honestly, nothing really then your health. To some people they may think nerds only run this program, or it does not work. Although it does, infact Intel even Folds.

Alright, what's Seti@Home or Crunching - Looks for Extraterrestial intelegence, as you all know humans use less then 6% then there brain. You may think im crazy, but is it possible that Aliens have sufficient intelegence to create a cure, or find a cure?

You're crazy, and it's that simple Xl - Everyone's intitled to a opinion, as i understand if you think i am. Regardless, i still will persue these dreams.

Alright, i want to get involved
Search for Extraterrestial Intelegence

Folding@Home
http://folding.stanford.edu/

Alright, i installed it. What's the team number?
I have not discussed this with the Admins/Owners of Xoxide. Although i will be looking forward to establishing a team, and if the Xoxide administration board is okay with this, i will have it posted as soon as i get the okay.

You must only run one client, as you will have to choose. If you run 2 clients at one time, they seem to conflict with eachother.

I'd like to thank you for your time, please vote truthfully, and as honestly as possible as this will all be taken into consideration,

Xl

Thanks for your time,
Xl :)

How many machine's are you going to be dedicating, because this thread was started once before and didn't get much feedback, so it looks like you'll have to carry the team if it's established.

I'd be willing to get about 11GHz of my own power.

Thanks for the prompt response,
Xl

umm i might do it... but first i gotta know what it is

xlgimmewarlx · 05-12-2003, 07:08 PM

Not to be rude, or anything. But i gave a little summary, although you can get more detailed information on the two sites that i listed.

Thanks for your concern,
Xl ;)

i am now running Seti@HOME :)... but i got a question.. how does this help find extraterestrial intelligence

xlgimmewarlx · 05-12-2003, 07:15 PM

Glad to hear! Welcome to the club.

Answer - It looks for changes in the atmosphere, etc.

xlgimmewarlx · 05-12-2003, 07:52 PM

Welcome to the Family!
Im glad we're having supports already! Hey, everyone has to start somewhere right?

Thanks,
Xl ;)

I'd be folding hard for Xoxide with around 8+ ghz...

AMD FanBoy · 05-13-2003, 02:54 PM

How do you fold with 8ghz?

You have F@H set up on multiple pc's.

bloq · 05-13-2003, 03:00 PM

kane2g · 05-13-2003, 03:04 PM

It advertises for them because the team name is team xoxide.

xlgimmewarlx · 05-13-2003, 03:56 PM

Question has seemed to have been addressed, but this is for the future of Xoxide, even without the F@H Team it will be huge. Regardless, we do this for the sake of the society.

Thanks,
Xl :)

Dude just put it down .5 volts and lower ur speed a bit and you won't loose that chip in less than a year!

SquirmingCoil · 05-14-2003, 10:52 AM

I'll consider it. I need to decide between three teams to fold for at the moment...

xlgimmewarlx · 05-14-2003, 04:55 PM

Thank's for considering us, and as far as going with other teams. I can only try to persuade you, although the decision is yours to what board you go. Nor will i mistreat you, etc because you went off to another board.

Thanks,
Xl :)

sathanas · 05-19-2003, 04:31 PM

Well, ill throw my hat in the ring, I can fold 2.8 GHZ, and thats about it, only got the one comp to help out, but hey, every bit counts right?
