Gladly. Just re-write the client... I will not waste another moment trying to install it, or more accurately, trying to un-install it after wasting a straight few hours of trying to run it unsuccessfully.
I am not the only one with roughly intermediate computer skills who has been infuriated by the effort. It is simply false advertizing - the way that "BOINC" presents itself as easy.
It was some time ago that I tried, and I am still seriously annoyed that nothing has changed.... and so I spitefully leave my computer on now, doing absolutely nothing.
Don't blame me, Berkeley - I tried helping you guys, and you only screwed me for it.
Folding@Home is run by Stanford U (not Berkeley) and in all honestly takes 3 minutes to install & run.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with it.
I've been able to get it installed and operational in minutes on 10 of the 12 machines I've attempted. The two machines it doesn't run on are flakey anyway.
Not clear to me how you were "screwed", though.
I've never run BOINC, but I know some people that do, and the consensus is that it is extremely easy. I'm thinking the problem may not be either package (BOINC or FAH) but the equipment.
I run both BOINC and FAH. BOTH are extremely simple to install.
...and I'm sure both Stanford and Berkley are amused with your being "screwed" by them.
If you need help installing either program, just ask. There are people here, people at both sponsoring sites, people all over the world that would love to help you... just ask
...rather than "spitefully" running away pouting.
Take a look at some of the earlier threads and you'll see we've walked thru some very complex issues with others. And as others have pointed out,"folding" isn't related to BONIC at all.
