Update 2009-09-10: This Folding@home Bounty has been posted! Good luck to all.

We have a had a CalGuns.Net Folding@home team for a little while now. (see this message) To help encourage support for the team we have a "Folding Bounty" posted.

• 45 ACP - 50 rounds
• 50 AE - 20 rounds

Note: Some of the ammo has only the total amount as shown. (example: .308 ammo) You would have pick another item to go with it.

Additionally, I'll personally donate an Andy Jackson to The Calguns Foundation in the name of the winner.

The Rules:

• Open to individuals only. No teams.
• You must obey the Folding@home site rules.
• You are CALGUNS forum member. You can become a member of CALGUNS and then join in on the fun.
• You must hold the top daily point produced spot for ten (10) 24 hour periods. (Sound familiar California firearm owners? ).
• Your Folding@home username should match your Calguns.net member name.
  If not, then send me a PM with your details to confirm the match up.
• The periods end on midnight, Pacific time, in the USA.
• Please, no play and run. If you collect the prize be a good sport and keep contributing to the team after you win.
• Should CALGUNS have a problem with a member participating they could invalidate that member's entry.
• If for some statistically improbable reason we have a tie the member with most points takes it.
• I am not eligible. (I can't win my own competition.) Nishodan is also sitting this one out. (you might want to thank him for that.)
• The Rules may change at any time. Please check back for updates. (No plans to change but then I haven't run a Folding Bounty before either.)

The caveats the winner would have to deal with are:

• The winner has to be otherwise eligible to purchase ammo. I might ask for your ID. Or other supporting docs if as required.
  (Example: A Massachusetts resident also needs a FID card.)
• If you live in Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico you would pick up the shipping charges.
• No shipping to APO or FPO addresses. (sorry about this but you probably don't need the ammo anyway.)
• Any required shipping will be via UPS. If UPS can't ship to you then you are responsible for making other arraignments.

Thanks goes out to to Nishodan for contributing additional ammo types. If someone else also wants to kick into the ammo prize pot or the The Calguns Foundation donation pot I would love to have them on board with this Folding@home Bounty.

"Folding"???????????????

[Scratch705]

folding@home

its been a big thing. its a program you install on your computer, that then allows it to link up to a main database computer at Stanford so they can create a big super computer to do the calculations to help do some genetic or protein stuff...

Now I see!

[$imple]

Folding? Please explain.

[JimmyD]

Hells yeah! This will encourage more people to donate time on their PC to do protein folding simulations.

Folding, or Folding at Home, or F@H is a distributed computing system where a program runs calculations when your computer isn't being used and sends the finished calculations back to Stanford. This way idle computers are contributing to curing diseases and cancer and the research scientists at Stanford don't have to spend millions of dollars on building super computers to crunch numbers.

Well there's your problem! You should go to Stanford instead! Just kidding!

Have a look here: http://folding.stanford.edu/

When wer're ready to run the contest all your computer(s) would have to do is win the PPD totals for 15 days running and you get the ammo!
