I have created a r/Bitcoin Team for folding Proteins to help with the fight against COVID19: 238758

This video will help provide some context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU4qOebhkfs

And here is an article from Folding@Home for more details: https://foldingathome.org/2020/03/15/coronavirus-what-were-doing-and-how-you-can-help-in-simple-terms/

I've created a r/Bitcoin Team for COVID19 protein folding, our team number is 238758. add this into the GUI by clicking "change ID" when you start mining/folding.

I have been mining proteins now for the past week, its fairly easy to setup, but you do have to allow for express install on windows. custom installing is too much of a headache. once it's installed, it opens up a Firefox (Brave browser doesn't work, go figure) GUI where you can set how much CPU/GPU power you want to have dedicated to helping solve/folding proteins. You can use your CPU or GPU, and you can adjust the settings to have the program only work when you are idle or not doing anything.

The COVID19 project is under the "All" category within the GUI.

If you have any spare computing power please try this altruistic distributed computing experiment. Folding some proteins in virtual for the benefit of a COVID19 vaccine is very much in the spirit of early Bitcoin mining. And I feel it would make Satoshi proud to know that the little community he seeded grew into something that would be brave enough to take on the monsters of this world, in more ways than one.

Thank you for reading and participating. Stay safe out there.

Not ready to go public? That’s the perfect time to think about going public

Image
The disastrous failure of WeWork’s non-IPO provided not just a dramatic crash-and-burn spectacle, but also a valuable cautionary tale about how not to do an IPO.  Even if your company is not ready to go public at the moment, if there may be an IPO in your future, things go more smoothly for companies that begin the work well in advance.  As a financial manager who consults for public and soon-to-be-public companies, I’ve worked with organizations traveling along a well-planned path, and those with an IPO date looming and management panicking. Here’s what I’ve learned in the process.  Have a business plan that demonstrates a path to profitability The first tech boom clearly demonstrated the folly of having an IPO with nothing more than “a good idea.”  Now, especially after several high-profile IPO failures, investor sentiment has swung to favor companies that demonstrate a solid growth history and a clear path to profitability.

Uber & Robinhood Angel Investor: 99% of Crypto Projects Are Garbage

Image
In 2017 and 2018, thousands of entrepreneurs were attempting to launch their own crypto project to capitalize on the bubble-like conditions. Due to the mania, there are now over 5,000 digital assets listed on CoinMarketCap — and there are likely thousands of others that failed to make the cut. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is convinced that all players in such a saturated market have value. One prominent venture capitalist, in fact, went as far as to say that 99% of crypto projects are simply “garbage.” Related Reading: DeFi Effect: Scaling Debate Begins as Ethereum Fees Reach Two-Year Highs Most Crypto Projects Are “Garbage”  Jason Calacanis is a prominent entrepreneur, author, and angel investor. If you’ve heard of him, it’s likely because of his angel investments in Robinhood, Uber, and Trello. He’s also interested in the crypto space. In 2019, he was bearish, postulating that Bitcoin could fall to $500. Yet, the investor has recently begun to change his mind, telling Morgan
