It has been suggested that we should use our prize money for a drugdiscovery@home instead of folding@home. Is anyone familiar for this effort and/or have an opinion on whether we should switch?

Drug Discovery at Home

A good suggestion if not eligible for substitution. However, who would win the prize and when? Though I don't want to under estimate anyone, I feel that if it is for reporting drug discovery, there is a good chance.

Both of them seem like good projects. I guess it is good to just pick the one we think is best, but protein folding and drugs both seem to be important issues. It's too bad we can't limit the drug discovery to the area of focus we desire, or can we? The idea of it being used for a new type of stimulant or whatnot is undesirable.
