I've been sent this:
"Merging teams for folding at home.
Hello,
I just recently created a team at Stanford U's Folding@Home project, as it turns out there were two teams already established by members of our movement. We would like to get all the credits under one team and I would really appreciate if you could post this in the UK chapter forum.

Thanks in advance."
This is the thread to whch it refers:

The sender chose the wrong person to post this. :roll: I'm afraid I am far too stupid to have the faintest idea what this is about. :? And even making the decision to post it in Science and Technology is guesswork.
EDIT: Please make sure you read posts further down. The above informaton may have been superceded?
I might also suggest some thought be given to setting up a distributed rendering system so that it can be used towards TVP/TZM film production purposes, as my understanding is that at the moment they only have a couple of machines for that purpose and it takes an awful long time to produce output.
I notice effort is spread among several dozen projects.
In the interests of effiency, I would suggest a single team, focusing on a single project.
The question then becomes, which team should everyone move to and which project...
There is also this thread:

Incidently, I notice:

I would suggest consider developing our own quantum computer, rather than helping out a commerical organisation to develop theirs.
(I'm also looking into this myself for long term projects, along with photonic and nano-mechanical approaches.)
For example, there are in the BOINC choice the following projects to focus on:
ABC@home
AlmereGrid Boinc Grid
AQUA@home
CAS@HOME
Climate Prediction
Collatz Conjecture
Cosmology@Home
DistributedDataMining
DNETC@HOME
Docking@Home
DrugDiscovery@Home
EDGeS@Home
Einstein@Home
Enigma@Home
FreeHAL
GPUGRID
Hydrogen@Home
IBERCIVIS
Leiden Classical
LHC@Home
Magnetism@home
Malaria Control
MilkyWay@home
NFS@Home
Orbit@Home
Pirates@Home
POEM@HOME
PrimeGrid
QMC@Home
Quake Catcher Network
QuantumFIRE
RALPH@Home
Rectilinear Crossing No.
RNA World
Rosetta@Home
RSA Lattice Siever
SETI@Home
SETI@Home Beta
SIMAP
Spinhenge@home
Superlink@Technion
SZTAKI Desktop Grid
The Lattice Project
UCT Malaria
uFluids
Virtual Prairie
WEP-M+2 Project
World Community Grid
WUProp@Home
yoyo@home
Now, just which is best and why ?
The official one as sent out in the recent newsletter is AQUA@home. So join the "The Zeitgeist Movement" team within the AQUA@home project if you run BOINC.
Thanks for the update on what the offical one is, I shall place my efforts there.
I don't think I get the newsletter anymore, so missed that announcement, is the newsletter available to view on the UK site anywhere ?
I do have a concern though that the choice of project wasn't arrived at with due scientific process, how might one go about addressing this issue ?

From what I can gather appears it could be used to trade credits we earn from offering our PC's to do work, in exchange we could get some rendering time, to help out with Fresco/PJ's/TZM's films/videos.
I am sorry I still don't fully understand this, but this link seems to give an explanation:
http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/wiki/index.php?title=BOINC
I found the above link on this thread on the Global site.
www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=9...
It all sounds VERY important and useful.
Did I ought to change the title of the thread?
If so? ........ what to?
I feel the title should be such that people who understand are drawn to it.
Thanks.
