I came across this tweet, calling the Bitcoin community to help battle COVID-19: https://twitter.com/m__btc/status/1239095140356165632
What is it?
Folding@home (FAH or F@h) is a distributed computing project, created by Stanford University, for disease research that simulates protein folding, computational drug design, and other types of molecular dynamics. As of today, the project is using the idle resources of personal computers owned by volunteers from all over the world. Thousands of people contribute to the success of this project. More information can be found on their website: https://foldingathome.org/
How does it work?
You simply download Folding@Home and use your unused CPU/GPU power to analyze data from Stanford.
What happens with the data?
Folding@home is run by an academic institution (specifically the Pande Group, at Stanford University’s Chemistry Department), which is a nonprofit institution dedicated to science research and education. We will not sell the data or make any money from it. Moreover, we will make the data available for others to use. In particular, the results from Folding@home will be made available on several levels. Most importantly, analysis of the simulations will be submitted to scientific journals for publication, and these journal articles will be posted on the web page after publication.
Following the publications of these scientific articles, we will make the raw data of the folding runs available to other researchers upon request. The data sets from some of our most prominent simulations are already publicly available. We’ve also striven to share our key technologies with other scientists, to assist their research as well.
How can I help
@Moderators, I know this might not be posted in the right section but this definitely deserves a lot of attention imo. Folding@Home has been proven very effective in the past and this is a great opportunity for the Bitcoin community to contribute. We have a lot of CPU/GPU power that can be put to good use!

Personally, I think this is a great initiative. We need not to personally donate or physically hand over bills to help those who are affected by this global crisis. Let’s stand together as a community and give back to those who are in need. As we do this, let us make sure that this would really be going to those who are in need and not those who are taking advantage of the situation. I think this is a good idea. Our prior concern now is that we need to lessen actual physical contact with people and one of the daily activities that require actual contact is when we purchase goods everyday. When we use physical money to purchase these goods, we do not only have contact with the person we are handing the money to but we also make contact with the people who’ve held the bills itself. According to research one of the greatest transmitters of the virus is untraceable contact through money. If, for example, many of us outside the bitcoin trading community will start using this as a means to buy their everyday commodities, cashless transactions, aside from using credits or debit cards. Bitcoins are another option for cashless transactions.
I already reported them. On the other hand little update on the Team BuyBitcon if someone is interested 
Any interesting conversation is quickly turned into a shithole
