Good afternoon all.

Im sure a few of you maybe aware that the ability to provide computing power to contribute to finding cures for some of life’s most threatening illnesse.

I was first aware of it 8 years ago when it launched on the PS3. Iv since noticed its available on Android and PC (and probably has been for a while). Many of us have pc's on 24/7 so why not help out with some computing power? You can form teams to compete around the world for the amount of "points" you have generated.

Is anyone on here doing this and has there ever been any chatter about starting a PH team? Would anyone be interested?

(ps, i did use the search and find threads so old that they are in the archive)

Wonder how competitive this'll get.

Nice one OP, I've been meaning to start this for ages!
Thanks, but i do not deserve any credit, it seems far more dedicated phers have been doing it for a while under an older thread. But if it helps out a good cause it's worth it
