Today I surfed the web and seen an interesting supporting idea provided by the Cardano community. They asked for the support of https://foldingathome.org/ project by giving out part of your machine’s computational resource to FAH, which uses it for helping out researching different types of diseases. By now it's very important to speed up the research of the Covid19 protein structure.
The Idea is to make the Hive team and show the power of our community to the world. Could be an interesting synergy of support and promotion.
I did a team https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/rollie1212 so all the Hiveans who join will be listed there!
Would like to ask OCD community and @theycallmedan 's support as the most active Hivers)
What's that?
Folding@home (FAH or F@h) is a distributed computing project for simulating protein dynamics, including the process of protein folding and the movements of proteins implicated in a variety of diseases. It brings together citizen scientists who volunteer to run simulations of protein dynamics on their personal computers. Insights from this data are helping scientists to better understand biology, and providing new opportunities for developing therapeutics.

First of all, anyone can join having the short instructions here:
Web Client:
- Go to https://client.foldingathome.org/ and install the client for your OS. (The pictures shown are for iOS)
- Use the folding “Power” slider to adjust the amount of CPU (or for some GPU) power you wish to allocate.
- Adjust the “When” options, to decide when you would like to contribute.
- Optional: If you want your contributions to be associated with the Hive community team, change the team number from “0” to “255551” via the “Change Identity” button in the top left.
- Please leave the "I support research fighting" set to * “Any disease”, as this setting is currently focusing on Covid19 research.
- Click “Start Folding” and off you go! 🚀✌️
