over my cold dead PS3
You may want to call Sony Support now.

Look what happened yesterday.

Bastard... you have a psn message btw, I'm going to leave mine folding all week non-stop if thats what it takes :sly:
It took my system being off for 15 days straight for you to catch up the first time. It will take you more than that.


Hint: 5 minute idle auto-start.
 
Hold everything, as I the "UnoMOTO" begin my assent to the top of the heap!

Be afraid....Very afraid

I'm wondering how Scaff is on the leaderboard with 0 points and 0 work units, according to UnoMOTO's posting.
 
Slowly climbing the ladder. 👍

Does anyone know if the visual actually has a function or is it just to give us something interesting to look at while the numbers are crunched in the backround?

I think the visual lets you know how the protein is folding.
If you pay attention you can see it grow bigger over time.
 
This weekend I saw some that looked far different then any i had seen before. That's why I asked how important the look of it was.

Not being a molecular biologist and working with proteins I can't say if they represent something or just look differently based on size of work units or something.
 
You know what would be a great idea, if folding earnt you credits to spend in the PSN store to buy stuff...... they would get loads of people folding then!

Or folding unlocks special mini games that you can play whilst folding.... spot the molecule or something :lol: Folding Party 8!

You heard it here first Sony! :sly:

It looks like I reached the point on the ladder that will now slow down. In many cases I will have to double a point total just to gain a few postions. I've also noticed much smaller work units coming in during the last week.

Yeah once you get through the people who are there in name only it is a long and difficult task working your way up.
 
We've hit a standstill, guys. Been at rank 638 or so for the last couple of weeks. Let's get overclocked. ;)

In other news, I'll be hitting 1000 units soon.

Edit: I was also getting a bunch of short (3 hour) units last week. There were some interesting shapes though, including one very long chain.
 
After a rash of small WU, I seem to be getting some monster sized ones again. Top 10 here I come!

Team rank is 636. Come on GTPlanet, sign up and get that PS3 working!

I could have swore a certain multi-elemental member claimed they would pass me up again. Yet it appears that I have stretched my lead and am closing in on second place.

G.T? I'm gaining.

EDIT:

What a difference 10 months makes.
G.T
FoolKiller
Our points are truly a cumulative number, with G.T being the only standout (I'm coming for you).

Ok. I could totally thrash everyone by having 2 PS3s folding, but I dunno if the parents would like the electricity bill.

I still have 2 PCs folding as well, despite them being very slow...
 
Hehe, I think I'm going to give up entirely once I reach 1000 work units. I've only been doing evenings, but I'm now becoming slightly concerned with the colossal amount of dust in the machine, and the electicity is becoming stupidly expensive now (just running the Playstation alone in the evenings is about £5 per month).

So good luck to the rest of you. :)
