    I was looking up performance information on the NACL client and fell into rabbit hole of thought about folding on chromebooks which then led me to thinking about folding on ARM chromebooks and by extension android. I came across a folding client for android and wonder if anyone has used it yet? I've helped out on the BOINC app for android and obvious power usage and heat problems on small devices but this could be useful for work where my phone sits plugged in anyway doing nothing and I can't bring my laptop and don't have an intel compute stick. Any thoughts?

    I've not tried it. I'm sure if you give it a go, others would be interested in your feedback.

    Early take away it needs to be connected to wifi, be fully charged and plugged in. It also looks like you don't get to set team or user apart from logging into your play account.

    I'll give it a run tonight and evaluate further.
