This is really kind of sad, SETI@home and Folding@Home were some of the first projects that got me really into computers and GPU programming. It was so cool to me in middle school to think that my computer was helping do a small part of real incredibly complicated problem solving.
- sizzle 4y agoFolding@Home was something I ran instead of mining bitcoin at the time, it really made me feel fulfilled, but alas here I am without my crazy bitcoin money because I rather fold proteins to solve diseases back then hah

- bcrosby95 4y agoI did bitcoin but used it for beer money. RIP the 150 or so coins I mined.
- bee_rider 4y agoThis is where most of my “what if” thoughts about Bitcoin go. I heard about it when it was pretty cheap — I want to say single digit dollars, but it was a while ago. But if I’d have gotten into it at the time, I surely would have decided “it’ll never go higher” around $200 at most.
