Confused on what to encrypt

Post by Medlock54 »

Hello,
I am a new folder. I have my actual name as a username and the app suggest using your Dogecoin wallet number. I am also seeing instructions on encryption and keeping your number secure. My question is which number is safe to use as my folding ID? Thank you all in advance.

Welcome to the folding support forum.

First, the official folding app and instructions say nothing about using your dogecoin wallet. Any instructions in that direction would be from them, not Folding@home. This site provides assistance with using the F@h app itself, any support for cryptocurrency and other awards not officially connected with F@h will need to be obtained through their sites.

Folding@home provides for use of a passkey, the FAQ and a link to obtain a passkey ir available here - https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/
