We have launched a crowdfunding campaign: ‘JustFoldIt, a new BOINC tool to promote research in biomedicine’ .

In order to carry out the study, and given the restrictions on expenses that exist in the scientific field today, we have launched the first crowdfunding campaign to raise 3500 euros in 60 days. If the amount is not reached within the 60 days, the money will be returned to donors and the project will not go ahead.

For more information and/or to donate, please follow this link.

This project reached its goal before 15 December, 2014.


Budget and calendar
Díay 0 Adapt the computer program to the BOINC environment
Díay 15 Text the program code
Diay 30 Send calculation tasks to volunteers
Díay 45 Heck that everything is working as expected and the results are correct
Díay 60 End of this project’s phase.


After 40 days, no work, no admins post, nothing.
I think is not good thing to request money to volunteers and "vanish into thin air"

I know I have PM'd them multiple times without response as well as posted in the forums. No details on what is holding them back in any aspect and then a request for money with little detail following. Not a dime is coming from me if they can't answer the basics. I don't care how busy people pretend admins are. It doesn't take but two minutes to type a quick update in the forum. Especially over the course of months.
