I used to (on multiple forums) but after reinstalls and shit I just didn't bother with it anymore.

I run on a shitty laptop. I don't have the CPU resources to donate.

I only understand the general premise. It's basically a whole network of people that donate their unused processing power to (in the background) study the folding process (though it is not limited to that, but that is where the name comes from): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_folding.

Beyond that I really have no idea how it really works or benefits anything. Has it actually be credited to discovering treatments of diseases or really done anything more than just potentially expand our knowledge on how these things work?

I was thinking about this a couple of weeks ago. It seems like there used to be a lot more people on the shroomery doing it.

Ah, no, not really.

when installed i assume this will only use what isn't allocated for my browser, players, ect, and will be able to be shut down if i didn't want to use it?

By design it only uses what your current system isn't. On total idle, the processing power it's taking is going to be pretty high, and when you start doing stuff that requires more, it will start taking less. It's meant to completely uneffect your experience on the computer. And yes, you can turn it off.

I used to for a brief while, but I got annoyed at the fact that I was running my hardware at 100% 24/7 wasting loads of energy. It's vastly more efficient to do these calculations in a data center with hardware that is optimized for this purpose.

I remember when nearly everyone had little dna strains under their user names

I've used both folding at home and SETI in the past but not currently
