I don't think 2 days is that much of a warning... smash

I wish, I think they decided they don't need to waste the bandwidth anymore - they've been working on much bigger projects (better paying) for a while now. They never bothered to update the app in years, surely it could have been written to work more efficiently after all this time to perform better.

I've put 5-7 new computers on it in recent months trying to reach 3 million points, ain't gonna happen.

I guess we need to look throught the others and see what may be worthwhile to invest the time and energy in.

My recommendation towards the next project is one of the @HOME projects, either Folding, FightingAids, LHC, or SETI (<3 to seti)

Actually, the more that I think of it, I like Folding@HOME... Mainly because you can run the client on gaming systems as well as computers (see here)

Folding@HOME - (description on WikiPedia) Folding@home (also known as FAH or F@H) is a distributed computing project designed to perform computationally intensive simulations of protein folding and other molecular dynamics simulations. It was launched on October 1, 2000, and is currently managed by the Pande Group, within Stanford University's Chemistry department, under the supervision of Professor Vijay S. Pande. F@H is one of the largest distributed computing projects.[1] The goal of the project is "to understand protein folding, misfolding, and related diseases."[2]

Accurate simulations of protein folding and misfolding enable the scientific community to better understand the development of many diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, BSE (mad cow disease), Cancer, Huntington's Disease, Cystic Fibrosis and other aggregation related diseases. [2] More fundamentally, understanding the process of protein folding — how biological molecules assemble themselves into a functional state — is one of the outstanding problems of molecular biology. So far, the F@H project has successfully simulated folding in the 5-10 microsecond range — a time scale thousands of times longer than was previously thought possible.[3]

As of March 30, 2007, forty-nine scientific research papers have been published using the project's work.[4] A University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign report dated October 22, 2002 states that F@H distributed simulations of protein folding are demonstrably accurate.[5]

I'm planning to do some work on a php script for our organization for our SETI team, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make one for folding assuming they lay out their data in a logical fassion; I use a lot of preg_match and preg_split to read in data and split it into an array.

I want something that has a windows and a mac client.

Oh, I was looking last night before bed. My machines were about 900 points short of my 3rd million. It was a milestone I was looking forward to. frown


Picture perfect penmanship here.

Folding@Home has clients for:
Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 98, ME), Linux, MacOSX (PPC and Intel), and the Playstation 3 (though not officially supported AFAIK).

Their clients list is available here

Well, I run a seti team, so I woudln't participate in the UBBDev one should one occour, but I don't belong to a folding team, so i'm all yours :x...

And in either case, I could care less about finding life (well, through seti) it more interests me is the scanning of transmissions...

No wonder mine refuses to update frown

I reached 6.7 million smile

Well done to everyone for what they did - shame they didn't even bothering to email people about this.

We now need a new challenge.....

Congrats Ian thumbsup

I am for the folding one too, can we form a team?

So long, grid.org, it's been fun smile Just over 2 million points and 10 years of CPU time.

edit: since I'll never be running the agent again and member services has been shut down, I'm leaving this here in case I want it in future: 2,064,626 points, 10y 55d 9h 39m 9s.

They do work that leads to research work for Aids, Cancer, other diseases. It's another protein examination study.

great rundown wink... I chose it because it's basically what TeamUBBDev has been doing forever anyway wink...

Though I'd kill to get ahold of the php script that you use to generate stats here...

I need to post my final points here for posterity. It was only one update shy of 3 million.

Again, guys, I'm willing to do folding if we want to make a team. I couldn't care less about what SETI is doing, but folding has a chance to make an impact on my life or the lives of people around me.

Allen's ultimately already said yes to Folding; hell I even gave him the link to their stats page where you can setup a team; so I think we're just waiting?
