Few reasons distributed/grid computing project of this sort deterred my participation. The following are the ones that weighted most to me.
1. Global greenhouse impact and carbon footprint attributed by internet usage alone account for 3.7% and is expected to double by 2025. See: Lean ICT Towards Digital Sobriety  Source: Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use Of Online Video Not included in this big picture are the factors due to cryptocurrencies mining and a similar project such as F@H. As of Nov 2018, Bitcoin Minning itself took in 45.8 terawatt-hours of electricity per year that contributed around 23 megatons of Carbon Dioxide emissions annually. Effects of alleviated Carbon Dioxide level or global warming have been documented aplenty from disruption of ecosystem-level processes, evolutionary change, the proliferation of viral-bacterial interactions and cross over, etc. 2. There are theoretical limitations and inaccuracies on methods used for Protein Structure Prediction (Folding or Misfolding).

Since the issue is mentioned, we would want to follow a greener route and fold efficiently.
Refer to the following blog if anyone is interested to know and get some idea from the author on how to fold greener. Green Folding@Home ~ Energy Efficient Computing This post has been edited by saturn85: Mar 28 2020, 09:26 PM |

Beware of the phishing email that pretend itself as Folding@home.
 RedLine Info-Stealing Malware Spread by Fake Folding@home Phishing Email, Scammers take advantage of a good thing QUOTE A new phishing email is trying to take advantage of the Coronavirus pandemic and the race to develop medications by promoting a fake Folding@home app that installs an information-stealing malware. |

1. How do I choose to help with the COVID-19 related projects ?
To help in the fight against COVID-19, you need to select - Webcontrol : "Any disease" in the list "I support research fighting" - Advanced Control/FAHControl : Configure > Advanced, select "Any" in the list "Cause Preference" The COVID-19 related projects are on top priority and will be assigned automatically. |

K took a good while to setup on my Ubuntu PC via command line.
GPU running at 82c 90w, giving my GPU a good exercise now. |

It can be roughly estimated from the hardware that run folding. Let's take a GTX 1060 rated at 120W for example. When you fire up GPU folding on it at full load, additional 120W is drew from PSU. (Assumed it really draw 120W power at full load. In real scenario, power draw can be different.) And let's assumed your PSU is rated at 80% efficiency, when it supply the additional 120W into the PC component, additional 150W is drew from the wall electric socket. Let's assumed you run folding 6 hours everyday, a total of 180 hours in one month. 150W x 180 hours = 27kWh, so additional 27kWh of electricity on folding. Let's assumed the 27kWh hit the [201-300kWh] range which cost 33.40 sen/kWh, 27 x RM0.334 = RM9.10.RM9.10, so this figure is the rough estimation that impact your electricity bill.

Good explanation there.
I'd like to add, that even if you are only folding on the gpu, everything else in your pc is also drawing power. Even cpu usage will also increase a bit. Example, my main gaming system is idling at 70w (based on my old notes using a measuring device). So when folding, add my 1070's estimated 150w (assuming stock) + estimated 30w for the small cpu usage, and it'll be about 250w. Add the psu efficiency factor, its around 300w. Hmm, saying that, i definitely need to measure the power consumption of all my systems now |
