Folding Forum

I hope by now you can see that I am not interested in arguing. Beside you again stated everything as fact without sufficient reasoning really turn me off.. I just want to bring my concern to everyone attentions. Have a good day.

1. I disagree. There would be still 90% of legitimate folding to cover the missing 10% and results could be faked. Beside you did not give sufficient reasoning why they would not be able to cover 10% abused? You simply state that as fact, which I would never do. Beside, what about 2%, 5% abused? I w...

If government or other organizations abused.. let say 10% of our collective folding power (instead of our old assumption of 1%), it would create a even bigger incentive for them to utilize this relatively free resources. Would that make sense to you? Why did you think stanford would hire only people...

Did I say 1%? All our discussions were based on 1% so far, what stopping them from abusing more folding power? (i.e. 5%..15%..etc)? Nice, you finally begin to think logically. Would 10 agents be enough to infiltrate the standford .edu site? I suspect it would take more than 10 technical professional...

Again, are you implying the best infiltration CIA could come up is.... what you suggest? Would you be able to put yourself into their shoes? Again, you think 1% of our world collective folding power is less than what Government already processed? I am not sure I agree. Even if it is less than 1%, go...

Are you implying US government are incapable to send couple of agents to work for .edu site? The fact we open our computers to the outside world to process whatever data they sent to us make me very insecure. The 1% of our collective folding power is still very massive and could be subjected to abus...

You all have good reasons. I was merely suggested that it would be more realistic to think a fraction (i.e. 2%, 5%, 10%) of out collective folding powers may have been abused by government or organizations. The folding results we seen on .edu could be the results of the 95% of our folding efforts. T...

I would like to know is there any methods that PC users like us could validate what we are actually folding? I mean... how do you know you are actually folding for good causes? What if we have been used by government or organizations for their own ends? For all we know, we could have been unknowingl...
