As many of you know my daughter fought cancer in 2009 when she was 13 and is fine today and 19. At that time I started pushing Folding@Home on a website and friend and I run, Bjorn3D.com.

Now I have been diagnosed with cancer and since Folding@Home helps do work fighting cancer and other disease battles I am having a contest again next month.

The contest is you must Fold@Home for team 41608 which is the Bjorn3D team. Your goal is to Fold for the Bjorn3D team. For every 500,000 points you will get one entry. At the end of the month we will have a drawing for a GTX Titan Black going to first drawn, second drawn gets the GTX 780TI 3rd drawn gets an EVGA 1600W Power Supply. The only rule is you must live in the USA or have a USA shipping address.

The contest will run from October 1st to October 31st.

You can check team status here: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.c...php?s=&t=41608

You can get the Folding Client here: http://folding.stanford.edu/

NOW DO NOT WORRY ABOUT Prod_Eng_Tesla-Stephanie. That is our Tesla rack that is Folding in my daughters
name and does not count in the contest.

There will be a thread on our Facebook page that you can post on with your Folding name at the start of the
contest.

You can start Folding now if you wish to tweak your machines and see if rig can do it. Good luck to all and I will promote more as we get closer to October.

I've been using this service for years, but never had a team to join. Will set mine up to be part of a team now. Will let you know once this is done. I use it on my ps3, computers at work, and personal computer at home.

[Scott@Bjorn3D]

Great!!!

Awwww MAN!

I have two ps3s ready to do some folding but after searching they ended the F@H in 2012. :(

Setup some PC's to Fold.

[Silverlsinva]

Set up my computer to fold while not doing anything Seems like a good cause.

My laptop crashes almost once a day. If I trusted my computer to run, I'd set it up to do some folding. Once I figure out if my hard drives are failing, or if I just need a new laptop, I'll check back in.

[GoldCartridgeGamer]

Just read about it . Sad the ps3 f@h was cancelled. Will setup some computers tonight.

I thought we figures out your hard drive issues Mindz.

[Mindz]

Still happens. It crashed twice while trying to download a file to a NAS today.

[Scott@Bjorn3D]

I thought there would of been more interest in this with the gamers here for a chance to win a 1000.00 video car.

I don't understand the Whole stats on it cause it says estimated points for completing and have had my computer folding since Friday and only have 2500 points but the estimate is 10500 points a day and its been two days is something wrong?

What is the configuration of your PC? Also what name and team are you folding for so I can see your output. In the configuration you should put the name you want to Fold as and on the team if you want to Fold for my team you should put 41608.

If I have a rough idea of you hardware and could watch what points you are getting in the stats I could try to help you out.

Also when you game or play video's your machine will do that instead of Folding so that will slow down your Folding. Like today I played 3 hours of Company of Heroes 2 and the GPU stopped Folding during that so I missed a point update.

I run at full power and let the client slow down the Folding we you use the machine. That will get your graphics card to fold more.

I also changed the contest rules to give every Folder a chance.
