UPDATED FOLDING GUIDE 
Hey Team Jiggmin I figured I'd make this guide because I find myself quite often answering questions about folding, and people not knowing how to find resources or confused why they aren't getting as many points as they should. Before Jumping In: Is Your Setup Ready? Check yourself before you wreck yourself..
First things first. To maximize your contribution and efficiency, check your GPU's performance at https://folding.lar.systems/gpu_ppd/overall_ranks. This step helps you understand your potential points per day (PPD) and sets realistic expectations for your folding adventure.
Step 1: Download and Install Folding@home
- Head over to https://foldingathome.org and click "Start folding."
- Download the installer suited for your OS and follow the installation steps.
Step 2: Secure Your Effort with a Passkey
- Secure a passkey https://apps.foldingathome.org/getpasskey. You'll need to input your email address.
- Why a passkey? It authenticates your work, ensuring you receive bonus points after your first 10 work units, boosting your points significantly.
- Check your bonus eligibility and stats at https://apps.foldingathome.org/bonus.
Step 3: Configure Your Folding@home
- Launch Folding@home and access the "Configure" settings.
- In the "Identity" tab, enter your preferred username and team number 143016 for Team Jiggmin.
- Insert your passkey correctly.
Step 4: Optimize Your Setup
- Under "Configure," find the "Slots" tab.
- Remove the CPU slot to prioritize GPU folding, which is often more efficient.
Step 5: Begin Folding!
- With everything set, close the settings and start folding. Your contributions now support vital research through Team Jiggmin.
