Spread the Fox by Folding with Flare!

Folding@Home and xMule :o

What if a program used by tens of thousands could bundle not spyware but helpware. Imagine thousands of instance additions to the FireFox Folding@Home Team and you'll see the beauty of this, as well as a perfectly-GPLish form of payment to the voluntary developers of such appreciated apps.

Hey!

I've been thinking about this for a *very* *very* long time (~8
months).

So, I have a program that optimally uses ~5% of the CPU on a 1.0GHz
AMD (testcase). It has been downloaded over five hundred thousand
times over the last two years. It runs in UNIX environments.

What if I could have a little Setup question be "Would you support
this project by donating your spare CPU cycles to HopeSeekr's
Folding@Home group?" and if the answer is, "Yes", my program would
(securely) fork() an instance of Folding@Home pre-configured for
FireFoxFAH's group...

We'd b number one in no time :p

I'm actually mostly done w/ the next stable release (1.10) and will
probably have this feature in the next unstable soon (~30days).

hope

PS I could *really* use some help/support if you have any :-)

Interesting

I am actually looking to create a customized installer, like some others do. The installer could simply use the console client and install it as a service - then users won't notice anything of it anymore.

The problem is that I'm not at all good at making installers.
