Folding at home scam
    #25724764 -

Can anyone prove the the folding at home thingy isn't a scam? Has a single accomplishment come from it yet? I would like proof that everyone isn't being duped into mining crypto for a Nigerian prince.

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Took me about 5 seconds to google and find the list of publications resulting from the project.

Not a scam.

...the whole experience is (and is as) a profound piece of knowledge.  It is an indellible experience; it is forever known.  I have known myself in a way I doubt I would have ever occurred except as it did.

Smith, P.  Bull. Menninger Clinic (1959) 23:20-27; p. 27.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

Osmond, H.  Annals, NY Acad Science (1957) 66:418-434; p.436

idk dewd who's to say those publications arent totally fabricated by the folding from home people. this whole thing has been shady and full of shifty dealings from the start. I mean these guys are probably getting insane banana world grant money to have other ppl do all their shit for them. nobody gives a shit about proteins or whatever the fuck what about all the cash.

With the serious issues of people using back doors to mine crypto this could happen real easy. You don't think an employ for that folding program that your using couldn't write some code and try and make millions with this folding thing.

It's a really good scam if you think about it even if it was ment to do good people are corrupt.

Less than a minute search, peer reviewed studies.

You're tilting at windmills.

Most journal editors know how much effort it takes to persuade busy researchers to review a paper. That is why the editor of The Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry was puzzled by the reviews for manuscripts by one author — Hyung-In Moon, a medicinal-plant researcher then at Dongguk University in Gyeongju, South Korea.

The reviews themselves were not remarkable: mostly favourable, with some suggestions about how to improve the papers. What was unusual was how quickly they were completed — often within 24 hours. The turnaround was a little too fast, and Claudiu Supuran, the journal's editor-in-chief, started to become suspicious.


In 2012, he confronted Moon, who readily admitted that the reviews had come in so quickly because he had written many of them himself. The deception had not been hard to set up. Supuran's journal and several others published by Informa Healthcare in London invite authors to suggest potential reviewers for their papers. So Moon provided names, sometimes of real scientists and sometimes pseudonyms, often with bogus e-mail addresses that would go directly to him or his colleagues. His confession led to the retraction of 28 papers by several Informa journals, and the resignation of an editor.

Moon's was not an isolated case. In the past 2 years, journals have been forced to retract more than 110 papers in at least 6 instances of peer-review rigging.
