 Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2004 2:11 am Post subject: Is Distributed Folding @ Tweak News dead? |
 |
|
I believe in Distributed Folding. It will provide solutions to problems we currently can not understand, and all online computers should be apart of it. I currently am involved in the distrubedfolding.org project, and am folding for Xtreme Systems. My problem is, that besides folding, I have no connection to that community. I spend my active time in this forum, and my passive time folding for them. Is there any chance of Distributed Computing being reborn @ Tweak News? Let's here some opinions?

You might want to check out www.distributedfolding.org
Problem with Folding on a team is that it gets addictive, and you want to add more and more rigs to fold for the team. That can get expensive. It seems that the nature of TweakNews is that everyone is working on thier main rig, and accomplishing excellent results. But dedicated folding takes many machines, and you wind up not paying as much attention to your pride and joy (the machine with the 1000mhz OC running 20,000+ 3dmark scores)
I appologize for suggesting a rebirth of distributed computing at TweakNews. It is a sickness that I think this community can do without.
It is better that we just dedicate our time and resources here to tweaking!
