Do people even use this anymore?

not sure, dident hear much about it after it was announced



It's within Life with Playstation now



i stopped using mine at the beginning of the year.....unless it finds the cure for canc er quicker ( I think that was the goal right?) I found it a waste of power at my house.



Is there any reward for doing it? If they gave out like a platinum trophy, beta tickets, etc I think that it'll give the necessary incentive to get people to use it.

I would imagine so. Thursday was the official Folding day iirc, where teams encouraged everyone to run their Ps3 all day Folding if they're not using it. Besides that theres still folding teams etc.

Cancer maybe gets cured more quickly?  Maybe you don't die of cancer?  I don't know, that's a pretty good reward.

To cure cancer? Theres no official rewards but it's not that hard to use when you're not using your Ps3. They added music support from your hd so I use to fold when I'm sleeping or whenever I'm not watching tv or using my Ps3 and listen to music.



Oh come on, there's no need to make me sound like some bad guy >.



It would be nice if they could provide evidence as to how the program has worked so far. If it has helped at something, that'd give me incentive to contribute. Otherwise, it just seems like a lost cause imo.
