It's pinned, just not featured as it's not a Razer initiative. maybe @Dekades can sort something out?

The more volunteers who donate their unused computing power to the effort, the faster the virtual supercomputer can work its magic. Since the project announced its new focus on the coronavirus

Might want to remove your random link... Also... when you setup FAH, you aren't going to see an option for COVID-19. So make sure you set "I support research fighting" to "Any disease" It will make use of your GPU and CPU for this effort. Edit: Example of stuff being performed on your PC: CPU Cycles I'm contributing to Project 14366 CORONAVIRUS PROJECT These projects are part of Folding@home’s efforts to assist researchers around the world taking up the global fight against COVID-19. At the time of release, this is the latest news update: https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/10/covid19-update/ These projects are CPU projects to simulate COVID-19 proteins to learn about their dynamics and function. These supplement high-priority GPU projects of the main protease as well as the COVID-1...

For your phone, you can use DreamLab. You can select difference research projects, including COVID-19 research. It automatically powers if it's connected to a network and is at least 80% charged. Just check to make sure your phone doesn't get too hot if you're in a warm/hot environment.

Have you ever heard of Gridcoin? It's a crypto that's mined by contributing to BOINC projects. You can contribute to Rosetta@home AND mine crypto at the same time!

Good initiative!

Sounds good. Let's do this.

It would be a great idea if there was a Gamma integration with this, it would definitely being more people to contribute to science just by giving out some Razer silver. Do you guys think it could be done?

This is rly cool

Thanks to everybody and for their efforts!

Wow! This is a great idea.

This is a really great initiative. Nice! Will definitely check out the link.

It's pretty cool having the initiative to be honest. You're a role model as a gamer. Have a nice day y'all.

So i've decided to uninstall this program because my CPU is messed up and gets too hot, and while uninstalling, it asked me if I wanted to delete all files in the AppData folder. I thought it meant only app data for that app, but turns out it's deleting everything!
