Distributed Bit-Tech Folding@Home Team (CLOSED: now superseded by joint CPC/bit-tech team)

Just joined in seen as there seems to be less people here than searching for ET. This one seems a better cause too.

started on my first WU now (at an amazing 5/500 )

 

To make a team grow, you must stimulate the people - make them want to join. Add it to your signatures, make a site, PM people to join. And get 3-4 people that are knowledgeable, so that questions on the subject are answered 24/7. This is how my folding at home team (i started it for motherboards.org) 33258 has grown and torn up the ranks. Good luck.

 

Sorry for the second, but with a site as large as yours, you should be getting many more members. I mean, there's at least 200-300 regulars here, while there's only about 100 at mobo.org. Also, BLC - gain the trust and favour of the people - help out, make them like you - it always helps.

 

Sorry about the third post here, but i add stuff as i think of it. Firstly - the Admins approved the team creation correct? Some won't like you creating the team without they're consent. Also, on the team page, throw the Bit Forums logo in as the Team Logo, or use the Bit-Tech logo. Also, if the team will survive, this post should go sticky, and start looking for farmers to run folding. Also, having support of the mods and admin would help IMMENSELY. After all, without them, my folding team would have inevitably been a struggling post, fighting to keep above post water, rather than becoming a sticky then getting it's own fourm.

Good luck guys, but (sorry to say), you're gonna have a hard time catching up.

 

Tulatin, I think you're being extremely over-critical, this is still a new team, althgouh I think we all appreciate the advice, just remember we ARE a new team...

 

Sorry if i seemed critical dude - i'm just trying to toss advice. How long has the team been about?

 

17 days

EDIT: Nevermind, 2 months and 17 days, didn't seem that long :/

 

While that is new, your growth seems slow. Time for E-mail requests to join, and advertisements.

 

I personally don't give a **** about how big the team is or how fast we grow its just for the possible results of the study, and I happen to read bit-tech more than any other site so I put my name down here.

 

Joined the team

Hi Guys
just added one PIII and one Athlon 1800XP . Will try to add a few servers in the coming days.

 

decisions decisions decisions... hmmm, is it going to be seti or folding. hmmmm. maybe i see which is the quiker and put my spacer cpu time to that

 

I'm down to a lonely P4 2.4 now but I might start up again later on.

 

hey boys!
just joined your team of folders my computer will be running 24/7 when i build my self a rheobus...only running a P4 2Ghz but every little bit counts eh!

[EDIT]
ahh jsut a quick qustion, been reading the folding website and all i can find about what it does is research alzheimer's and mad cow's. thought someone said somewhere that its about cancer as well? anyone know exactly what it does research?

 

Thought my computer should be doing something more than just heating up the room when im not using it, so decided to fold
17% through my first WU

 

Well, assuming that I've got everything configured right, I've just put my workhorse 1.4 ghz to work folding for Bit-Tech.

Edit: Not on the roster yet... guess it doesn't list me until I turn in my 1st WU.

 

im joining and usually have ~6ghz folding at any givin time, im sick of hardocp and their crap

 

i got my 2800+ workin on my first WU now. I used to fold for OCA, but stopped when they got taken over. I'm glad to be folding again

hrm.. got a few thou up for OCAU (team #24 member V-RX) I think I'll put my HT P4 2.6C to work and split the work load...

 

some folding questions

what are your guys approx. times for a 400 unit WU? what does WU stand for? what are the units of a WU?

Thanks

mmmm my laptop makes nice marshmallows...

yeah this makes much more practical sense than that Seti nonsense (ducks)
