Not really. I donate to charities I can actually see making a difference. It's why I'm such a strong supporter of Child's Play. I used to be down with Folding back when I thought it would actually make a difference. Now we have so much compute power at our disposal and the amount of power coming out of folding GPU farms and still nothing real notable.
Gonna have to think about ^^^ . Hence I do it to try and make a difference but yeah I agree, a lot of power is available and no results yet.
Folding program has had beneficial results come from it, but more on the simulation side than the actual physical medical side.
Though the sim side has allowed for drug designs to help target specific things, vs say an aspirin for a headache which kills pain everywhere.
Power cost run about 2 bucks a day for me, which is viable for MY financial situation, but I can easily see how many can't. My issue is heat generated during the summer.
I'm sure I seen that on the News, hear in the UK. Or deffo on I know that for sure. Might of been a Documentary about the use of Drugs.
Can you shed any light while were on the subjects about other near or actual results of the Folding DC project? I'm a big fan Boy of it but haven't read any white papers on the topic, I tend to stick to the Forums.
