TSA’s Folding Week: Introduction

This week, we thought we’d give Folding@home a big push and try to get as many new people folding as possible. So over the next 7 days we’re bringing you seven posts that’ll hopefully get you interested, if you’re not already taking part for this great cause.

Competition

But what’s a special week without a special incentive? Which is why good old uncle ‘Blue has supplied us with £15 worth of Amazon vouchers, another way of getting you all involved, even if you don’t have a PS3. We’ve also been allowed to dish out some TSA points. So here’s the prize breakdown:

  1. £10 Amazon voucher.
  2. £5 Amazon voucher.
  3. 100 TSA points.

Taking Part

As always with folding competitions, there’s only one way you can participate: over the next week (before Sunday’s post), you’ll need to have submitted a work unit. Don’t worry about telling us when you’ve submitted, we’ll be able to tell from your official stats (linked from here).

If you’re new to folding you’ll need to configure the relevant client with your TSA user name and our team number (78731).

As always, if you need any help with any folding related queries, pop over to the folding thread and we’ll be happy to sort you out.

So, hopefully this week will spark your interest in folding and we hope you’ll enjoy the next week of folding-related content.

  1. Folding :) well, I always am, aha XD
    Looking forward to see how people grasp this as I know there will be plenty of people with more than capable laptops/desktops to run the best clients for big points

  2. We might just make this the BEST month ever and break 1.5 million in the process!!

    • Well we have 6 days to get over 140k… I think we can do it you know!

      • We shall find out on Monday… it’s really 8 days of folding content.

  3. Not the best time for stupid BT to sever my ADSL/Phone line! :(

  4. I’m still missing my TSA stickers from last competition. I already told AG272727727 about it, but then he went MIA :p

    • Ask Colossalblue, he deals with stickers…

  5. I’ve just reinstalled FaH on my work computer, so now I can get Karma points whilst I work. Used windows task scheduler to start it whenever I log on too, so it doesn’t matter if I forget. :)
