ECCp'rs, S@H meisters, Dnet'ers, Folders, Genomers..D2Ol'rs..EVERYONE!!!!

PLEASE!!!!! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING ON ANY OTHER PROJECT AND GET ON DISTRIBUTED FOLDING!!!!!

We have an extremely fast protein and our lead could get cut to nothing in a week if we don't get all the FreeDC crunchers pounding on this one.

Ars TSF fired the first salvo by posting 16M structures at first update to our 6M..KWSN posted 8M structures at same update.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! BEG YOUR FRIENDS. BORG YOUR NEIGHBORS BOXEN!!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. CONVERT ALL YOUR BOXES TO Distributed Folding RIGHT NOW!!!!

I guarantee your home projects will be paid back with cycles when we get back to normal in two weeks and start crunching known slow proteins again.

Thanks Free DC'rs.

Sign up here:
http://distributedfolding.org/login.html
... They will send you a handle (nickname) to use via email

Download the client here:
http://distributedfolding.org/Download.html

Install it to c:\distribfold or where ever...

Go into that directory and do the following:

Create a file called handle.txt and put in the nickname they sent you via email and save it
Create a file called autoupdate.cfg and put a 1 in it and save it.

edit the foldit.bat file (assuming windows OS here)...

If you have 256mb of ram at least,
Find this line
.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native
and change it to
.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native -df -rt

Else If you don't have the memory, you can try it anyways,
at least change it to this (this caches the WUs in the event the Server can't be reached)
.\foldtrajlite -f protein -n native -df
and save it
Now run foldit.bat
You will show up in the stats within 1 hour

You will need to login to your personal page with the handle you got and the password you entered during registration, here:
http://distributedfolding.org/login.html
You can join the Free-DC.org Team, amoung other things while there.
:D

Ok, Ok

Calm down 8-)

I put my 3 crappy old boxes on DF using the userID
"ether"

I want you to know that you are keeping me from winning
the prize money from eccp. 8-)

Later,
Ray

Hmmm...We're down to 14 in ECCp already. A new team with one user has appeared, just in front of us...

Argh, one-manned teams drive me crazy, its just pointless. The definition of 'team' in the dictionary next to me (i didnt like dict.org's definition :p) is, "a group of players forming one side in a competitive game or sport". Correct me if I'm wrong but one player != a group of players.

Thanks all of you running other DC progs...you are helping us keep from getting steam rollered.

So far I owe proc time to ECCp...what FreeDC team has converted boxes to DF?

Come on S@H, Genome, D2OL, Folding, Ubero peeps...we need YOU!!!!! Pitch in and we'll crunch for you when we get back to the normal proteins.

Anyone else out there want to give the DF project a hand for the rest of the week or until we get back to normal crunching in two weeks?

Please?

Thanks in advance if you do and thank you again to all who have already pitched in their boxes to help DF remain in Number One postition!!
