You have my interest.

Hello all.

I'm new here but thought I'd chime in now that Hengis has graciously clued me in on how to respond to an old thread.

I have been involved in distributed computing for about then years and would love to help support a PCHF team however I don't care much for Folding@Home due to a brief previous experience where our team encountered difficulties with F@H forum staff and the fact that they offer limited opportunities as to where to direct ones resources and I prefer to keep my equipment dedicated to Cancer Research.

My machines are all working for World Community Grid through the BOINC agent and I feel that would appeal to a broader spectrum of potential participant as it offers a number of different choices as to what a person has their machines working on.

WCG is currently running five programs that people can choose from or all for that matter...... World Community Grid

Right now there is Help Conquer Cancer (my preference ), Nutritious Rice for the World, Discovering Dengue Drugs, Fight AIDS@Home and Human Proteome Folding.

I've got a dozen machines here ready to step up to the plate if you get a WCG team rolling.

I've got a few machines I can switch on. The biggest DC team i've heard of is dutchpowercows.org

Team 2ch, Easynews, and XtremeSystems are the big players now.

We had some friendly challenges with the cows back in the United Devices days but they've lost some of their steam.

I only know DPC because they originate from (and live on) Tweakers.net, and i've been pretty active there at times.

DPC was quite a force but when United Devices closed shop their members continued on but on a variety of different projects so it kind of spread out their ranks.

The nice thing about crunching is in the long run we're all on the same team with the data being used toward a common goal.

I wont be able to contribute much though, aside from my macbook pro all I have is some older machines. I wish I had a PS3 :P
