Welcome to the MyPS3 Folding@Home official team thread!

Our team number is 60766.

The Folding@Home application can be found under Network in the PS3 XMB. To join the MyPS3 team, open up Folding@Home, go to options, identity and then join an existing team.

Our team stats can be viewed here: fah-web.stanford.edu/
Folding@Home is an application which you can download for your PS3 which helps medical research on protein folding for Stanford University. Further knowledge of how protein molecules behave will hopefully lead to cures for diseases such as Alzheimers, Hungtintons as well as some forms of cancer. Please contribute as much as you can, as every bit of help counts.

If you have any questions about Folding@Home, feel free to ask.

mateo ur a champ!!!
about your computer - yes computers are slower, but they are still vital to the project, so even if you only have your computer on a couple of hours a day, it helps.. you've got 50 days to return work units generally with computers, so its plenty of time.

just concernin my posts on OS stats - lol i very much appreciate you guys who are currently folding.. your doing great, & your doing your part.. i just mention the stats as an incentive to keep recruiting more folders for the team, thats all. more numbers = more work units = more points for the team & more valuable research getting done for Stanford!

Cheers guys - doing awesome stuff here

Thanks, smASHer.

We'll just have to recruit any new members we see, as chances are they won't take notice of this thread now that it's not stickied.

what was it previously? Stanford really appreciates the time, effort & money that its participants put into the project... but just remember its ok to scale back a bit.. if you dont wanna pay too much on your power bill (who does?) then just do one work unit a day instead of 24x7... its up to u. The important thing is that your contributing. Thankyou

Serious? I don't think that'd be from folding... I'm folding all the time and if our electricity bill went up that much because of it, my parents would go nuts.

nah, i got it set to bookmarks in my firefox.

admins & webmaster: all we need is a home page banner that possibly links to either this thread or a short info page & then this thread, i'd like the latter.
