Jiggmin's Village - Folding at Home

Lets get everyone to 100m !

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 16:27:47 +0000

introducing... Let's get everyone to 100m !

i recently built me a cool gaming pc. its not as powerful as i would like it to be, but it'll do. so my idea is to fold as many people as possible to 100m. i scrolled through the list of users in the past who folded and i noticed that they all fall short of that 100m mark. im here to get as many of those legends to 100,000,000, and put my name in the history book for doing so. maybe this will be something i will be known for that will be my reasoning to put me in this hof.

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."
- NOTE: There has been a fah update, you may want to download the older interface of the fah app as it is more user friendly for the time being: https://foldingathome.org/v7-client/
- 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.

Important: Recieving PR2 Prizes
- Log-out Requirement:** Ensure you're logged out to receive your PR2 prizes.
- Update Frequency: Prize updates may lag by a few hours, so patience is appreciated.
- Track Your Contributions: Visit https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor for the LATEST on your points and rank.

Folding for people

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 07:26:16 +0000

I have no idea how long I will keep this going, just a heads up. I'm sorry if I don't get around to your account.

I want to give back to this community I have been a part of since 2008. I want to spread some kindness by helping people reach their rank goals. Just post the username you want folded the 8th rank token (100 million points). I'm going to put a limit of one account per person so everyone can get a fair chance. Please don't make alt accounts on this forum site to exploit this. Similarly, I would prefer not to fold people's alts if they have 8 rank tokens on a different account. This isn't a contest or raffle, it is a first come first serve deal.

Just keep in mind, it could take up to 50-60 days per person.

F@H: THE HARSH PR2 REALITY! ??

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 04:04:09 +0000

+3 Rank Token
5,000 Points - Crown Hat
100,000 Points - Cowboy Hat

Let me take you all back in time in a galaxy far far away from today, which just happens to be over 14 years ago when F@H was FIRST introduced to the JV community. This was around the time when most of everybody were just kids in grade school. None of you guys had ever heard of F@H before, nor did you give a shit about it until Jiggmin began to introduce 2, really cool prizes.

Let me get something straight with you guys, upfront: Yes, the CROWN and COWBOY hats suck, nowadays. But back then??!... Oh boy! You Gen-Zs have no clue how insanely popular those two hats were back in the day because you were all too young to even remember. Even your very first, +3 rank was very special back then because if you were a smart player, you would wait until you reached rank 47 to use it so that you can get ahead in the game, very quickly. Back in 2009 you didn't have to worry about people taking advantage of folding you 1k because F@H was fairly new and they didn't know how to work the system, yet. Oh and FYI, a passkey doesn't protect you from getting folded.

So considering all this, you were around @bls1999 generation of kids who were probably in elementary school and wasn't aware of hardly any of this. Most of everybody who did remember, were Millennials like me. The roster back then was stacked and overpopulated by Millennials who were in High school and Middle school.

Man, if you had a crown hat, you were pretty much considered to be a high-class, ranking player from a special elite force. You were literally the man! Everybody wanted a crown hat because it was very special. With the crown hat, you were literally an invincible warrior crushing your opponents to death with supernatural powers making toy swords, guns, lasers, and mines look like a complete joke. You didn't really give a damn about how many people thought it was unfair to play with someone who had a crown hat because you had something that they didn't. You folded 5k to earn the right to separate yourself from everybody else who was stuck on 4 hats.

Now, if you had a cowboy hat, you were considered to be the top 5% of high-class, ranking players from a special elite force because you had supernatural powers to pretty much fly where ever you wanted to go!... Anywhere! You were like a pilot taking off whenever the 3 count was over with. Yes, it was highly unfair in campaign modes, but who gives a damn because you worked hard for that shit! 100k for this bad boy was an insane, stratospheric number back then. Which leads me to my second point...

...Nowadays, 5k & 100k for these two hats is essentially nothing, right? But back then, how many people do you know were complaining and begging people (who had those hats) to fold them all the time? 100k for a cowboy hat was nothing to sniff at, ladies and gentlemen. Even 5k for a crown hat was a lot, back then. I didn't get my first crown hat until 2011, then a cowboy hat in 2012. I didn't give a damn about F@H, nor did I ever have the money to invest into a pretty decent graphics card that would allow me to get these things.

I believe 100k for a cowboy hat back in 2009, for it's historical value, is probably worth 1,000 times more today which is worth 100,000,000 points, now. With crown, this was 5k at it's historical value back then, so 5,000,000 points today (never mind the epic stuff).

Now the graphics cards that everybody had back then, was very ABYSMAL because if I recall correctly, people were folding at least 100-1,000 PPD back then. Nowadays, people would laugh and shit on you for folding those minuscule numbers. But back then, everyone shared the same grind and passion to get the two most, baddest hats in the game. So, it was not a hysterical matter back then. People would overclock their CPUs just to speed the process up because for some people, it would take months to get a cowboy hat, which was very ABYSMAL! This is why most people would stop after obtaining the crown hat; that's a 95k difference between the crown and cowboy hats.

If you'll take a look at THIS list of graphics cards, you all might is well find yourselves at the very bottom of this list because that's what you guys all had, back then. What also sucked was the fact that we had to ask our parents to help us figure out this F@H stuff because it was a nightmare. You didn't have the money to invest in a better graphics card because A: You were a kid with no job back in grade school. B: A lot of those graphics cards probably didn't even exist back then, so you had to work with what you had, you feel me?

Let's assume that at least 300 people were playing back in 2009, right? I'd say about 5% of them had cowboy hats (the way I remember it), and about 15% of them had crown hats. Do you realize how appalling those numbers were back then? Think about it.

1,000 Points - +3 Rank Token
5,000 Points - Crown Hat
100,000 Points - Cowboy Hat
1,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
10,000,000 Points - +1 rank token

Fast forward 4+ years later, and early 2013 would be the birth of the +4 and +5 rank tokens on the higher end of the F@H scale. Around this time period, you'd have guys like Deathbygabe1, NixZiZ, Dylan Ray Dubuisson, and PrinceCharming who would already be far ahead of everyone else, having these 2 extra rank tokens. If I recall correctly, only those 4 guys had +5 at the birth of the rank tokens giving them the advantage well ahead of everyone else. I'd say less than 20 had a +4 because if you really think about it, people were done folding after 100k because there was no reason to keep folding back then, unless you were supporting Team Jiggmin.

The credit for these two tokens goes to @aaaaaa123456789 for the suggestion. Now let's dissect the amount of time it would take someone to reach these two, very special tokens back then. First off, 1m points for a +4 rank token used to be preposterous. I mean damn, how the hell am I going to sit there and have the discipline to fold 900k more??! You see nowadays, a +4 rank token is nothing because everyone has their fancy, graphics cards that deals out substantially high, PPD numbers in the millions. But back then, let's look at your graphics card, then tell me how long it would take for you to get a +4 rank token. The majority of people were folding much less than 100k back then, so the idea of folding 1m is preposterous in a nutshell.

Don't even get me started on a +5 rank token. 10m just to get there is not only preposterous, but very intimidating and time intensive to say the least. I can't even begin to tell you how very few people had the capabilities to even see a +5 rank token in their accounts back then. Let me say that again... very few people had the capabilities to even see a +5 rank token back then. The stretch from 1m-10m is an understatement. But the stretch from 100k-10m is far from an understatement. I don't think you people understand how big of a deal, a +5 rank token was back then. I didn't even see my first, +4 until Oct 2013... and my first, +5 until Jan 2016!

Guys like Deathbygabe1 was folding 500k PPD back then, which was nothing to him. As time went on, people began to invest into better graphics cards, eventually. So you could expect them to get between 150k-300k PPD, starting in 2014.

1,000 Points - +3 Rank Token
5,000 Points - Crown Hat
100,000 Points - Cowboy Hat
1,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
10,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
25,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
50,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
100,000,000 Points - +1 rank token

5 years later, @XeNo makes a suggestion that there should be 3 more EXTRA RANK TOKENS because the top folders have already reached their +5 goals, and since people were debating about having Team Jiggmin reach the top 100 goal, they had to incentivize people to fold by offering more prizes. After people were constantly debating about adding more prizes into the game for the last 2 years, @bls1999 decided to make it happen as part of a STIMULUS PACKAGE.

So now, let's analyze these 3 extra rank tokens, shall we. First off, if you're not used to folding a substantial amount of PPD, then you're going to think that 25m is preposterous because the gap between a +5 and +6 is extremely high. During COVID, you already knew that guys like Deathbygabe1, PrinceCharming, NixZiZ, & Dylan Ray Dubuisson would already have these rank tokens because their F@H scores were extremely high enough to last a good while. So, most of them got all the tokens before we ever did.

Around the COVID era, you can expect those who were hungry to get their ranks a lot higher than they are, to revisit THIS list of graphics cards, then save their money to buy GEFORCE RTX graphics cards because those were rewarding them with substantially high numbers in the millions. Now let's face it, those guys have never folded 1m points before in their lives, back then. What guys? - THESE guys, the top 3 highest ranks in the game. So really, 25m is still nothing to sniff at. The same thing can be said about 50m and 100m because it's far too time intensive for those who's graphics cards deal out less than 1m. Also, some people don't run their CPUs full time, which can also be a problem because it'll take you forever.

Then the bar gets stretched even higher than that, when you go to 50m, then 100m. Bottomline: the higher the bar gets stretched, the more you're overclocking your CPU running it hot, full time, to get to where you need to be, quickly. Nowadays, if you're one of those GEFORCE RTX graphics card owners who folds millions of PPD, then these numbers probably don't mean shit to you, now. But, back then, I'd imagine your first impressions were "oh shit, how the hell am I going to pull this one off? My graphics card can only do like 300-500k PPD, which is nothing compared to this!"

The higher you elevate your game and improve your materials, the less you'll care about anything under 1m because you're used to doing that. Some people are still humble today, but back then everybody was.

1 Point - +1 rank token
500 Points - +1 rank token
1,000 Points - +1 rank token
5,000 Points - Crown Hat
100,000 Points - Cowboy Hat
500,000 Points - Epic Crown Hat
1,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
5,000,000 Points - Epic Cowboy Hat
10,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
25,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
50,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
100,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
250,000,000 Points - Epic Artifact Hat
500,000,000 Points - +1 rank token
1,000,000,000 Points - +1 rank token

So now, here we are. Notice anything new? No? Well, let me point out to you that I've added 3 more suggestions towards the bottom of this list. Why? - Because there are a bunch of people who have busted their asses off for TEAM JIGGMIN to get past 250m. I think there should be an award for those people, especially reaching 1B F@H points. I understand that these people are trying to support Team Jiggmin and get them towards the Top 100 list, but unless those last 3 prizes are added in the game, you'll probably never see that anytime soon.

I think it's time THIS thread gets updated to my last, 3 suggestions because I know I'm not the only one who THINKS this way.

My advice: If you're looking to fold very quickly, then not only should you overclock your CPU and run F@H full time, you should also go out and invest your hard earned money into getting a GEFORCE RTX 4090. Yes, they're very expensive and can cost around 4k. But, if you ever get one of these, then you're looking to earn about 21m PPD. For those who would be freshly starting out, it would take you roughly 50 days just to reach 1B points! So yeah, I'd say it's worth the money in that sense.

FUN FACT: If Deathbygabe1 would have never stopped folding, and he invested in a GEFORCE RTX 4090, he'd probably be at 10B F@H points by now.

Folding points not showing.

Hi all. I watched my folding roll over today and got the 3 rank tokens added to my account, but my client does not show how many total points I've folded. The button to see user statistics is missing also. The client is stuck loading the total points. Is there another way to open up the user statistics page? Thanks!

Top 100 in F@H

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 13:39:58 +0000

Original Thread: https://jiggmin2.com/forums/showthread.p...6#pid71706

I know this thread got shut down to our differences and not able to debate in a formal matter for that I am sorry Ben/Eternal, thanks for trying to inspire Team Jiggmin to top 100 again.

The rewards & effort involved for top 100 as outlined by staff is the equivalent of exchanging a $100,000 check for a loaf of bread.

The idea of having a one-time rank-up is great but how is it fair for the top 5 or 10 contributor when they're doing the heavy carrying for the team?

I think these should be the rewards:

Top 11 to 1,000 contributor in FAH (no alts included) should get the one-time perm rank-up

Top 10 folders should get a bonus of (2x one-time perm rank-up) because without them we wouldn't get the mass PPD output we need to get Team Jiggmin to the Top 100.

Reason I am re-opening is because @AlphaZ & @FDX3 felt like we should be able to talk/communicate a plan for those who wants this to happen before we all go our separate ways.

AlphaZ, FDX3 and I can do 40M PPD combine, we're looking for 7 more players who are willing to continue to FAH.

Thanks,

Colind

Breaking the Top 100: 2022 Edition

Fri, 22 Jul 2022 20:29:24 +0000

If you were around in the old days of JV, you'll remember the birth of the jump-start hat. The original method of obtaining was a team effort: if Team Jiggmin broke into the top 100 teams on Folding at Home, "every PR2 player in existence [would] earn a jump-start hat".

Now, we're bringing it back.

If Team Jiggmin once again breaks into the top 100 folding teams, every PR2 player that logs in from this point forward will receive a one-time rank-up.

Happy folding!

Progress:

22/Jul/2022: Starting at rank 155.

Congrats, AlphaZ!

Congrats to the new Team Jiggmin folding leader, @AlphaZ!

2021 prizes?

Wed, 03 Feb 2021 09:18:23 +0000

Are the prizes still available as of now? I've recently started playing pr2 again and I'm trying to get the crown and cowboy hat. I'm folding for my account: Coolberry.

Graphics Cards for better folding results!

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 18:46:40 +0000

What's sup, everybody. So apparently I'm noticing a lot of people surpass ?? in F@H points, and I was actually thinking about tagging along to show support. But here's the problem... I don't know exactly what graphics card I need to be able to fold crazy amounts of points everyday because the last thing I want is to be folding anything less than at least 500k.

So if any of the best and fastest folders on here, wants to give me a little run around as to what graphics cards I need to be able to fold a gargantuan amount of points, and what prices I'm going to be running into, give me a shoutout. Just give me a range from cheapest to most expensive, and more like what the folding points per WU would result in, if I were to get a certain graphics card.

Oh and let me know what computer you're running as well, so I'll know what to get and what not to get!

@ AlphaZ
