FoldingCoins - Rewards

Dear all,

I am new to FoldingCoins and Folding@Home. I have tried this for several days and accumulated some scores on my donor page.
I have heard that scores are mainly for bragging rights, but are there any ways that donors may be given some monetary rewards for their contributions?
I have spent many hours letting my personal laptop run F@H at full folding power, I'd love if I can get some rewards from this, however small the rewards may be.

On an additional note, I have access to around a dozen PCs at my workplace - are there any ways I can make them simultaneously fold so I can complete a work unit / project faster?

As far as Stanford University is concerned, the primary reason for FAH is to allow you to help with scientific research and hopefully help cure diseases. It's not about earning money.

There are a couple of Cryptocurrency sites which have elected to base a 'reward' on the points awarded by Stanford, but neither Stanford nor this website offer any support for them but we will happily offer support for the folding client. Please start a new topic with any questions about installing or running FAH.
