Question from a curious techie

Post by winterrain »

Hey,

I'm a CS major and an entrepreneur from Israel, specializing in blockchains,
and I have a bunch of questions on the topic of folding@home,
I'd love it if you could answer them or point me in the right direction,
Q:

* Do pharma componies have budgests for folding computations
* Was there once a blockchain where you do POW for folding, is that even possible?
* How can I get in touch with someone from the folding @ home team?

Cheers,
Haim

FoldingAtHome is NOT a blockchain project. It's a scientific research project. See http://foldingathome.org

Also, we are also not associated with pharma budgets. All our research is published in the Public Domain.


Any connections to blockchains are introduced by other internet sites which are not a part of FAH. (They are welcome to download our donor's points and award coins at their discretion.)
