Anyway you people thinking this a fake or something are just plain handicapped, actually look something up before trying to make yourself look smart and having it completely backfire on you.

1. Not my team
2. Unless you all want to make different accounts, then sure, go ahead. Otherwise, just use mine.

who is saying it's fake? I haven't seen anyone say that. just several people claiming that people are saying it's fake and giving even more proof than is necessary

maybe i misunderstood. :P

Anyways, I just don't see why so many people are preventing this.
All I'm trying to do is help cure cancer, and so many people are
getting mad. I mean, it only cost 5 minutes of your time

If it's because you think I'm trying to get credit out of you, then
I'm okay with you finding your own account.

I guess I could see this being real though. But then again, there's no guarantee that your doing this would help one iota in the long run. All it seems to do is simulate folding proteins which would give them more information to work with, but that won't necessarily do much.
Like you know jack stuff about cancer research.

if 300,000 people were doing it all at the same time, and they all had computers that cost them $2,000, that'd only be $600,000,000 worth of computers. and besides the fact that those are both very unlikely circumstances, they most likely wouldn't be using all of their computer's ability, and the majority of their internet connections will be far from perfect
you'd probably be better off just using a $100,000,000 computer at the site
Because there is a magic chip that you can buy for $100,000,000 that magically makes that computer be able to do the same amount of power that 300,000 computers have combined.

Do you know any more about cancer research than he does?
