Does anyone here use the spare power of their computers to help cure disease?

It’s a very large global community that uses the spare power of their computers to help find cures for cancer, alzheimers, parkinsons, etc. It is done through Stanford University. Personaly I think it’s a worthwhile cause.

I think the chances of success are higher for this than SETI, also more worthwhile. I fold for team 11108, MaximumPC. The stats can be found at this link. It adds a bid of a sense of accomplishment and gives a friendly competativeness to it.
