You know. This actually did reaffirm my faith in humanity. I always tended to trust people more than I probably should, but this is pretty amazing even to me: Here we are donating hard-earned money to a person whom we have never actually met (and most likely never will), without expecting even gratitude, not to mention anything else in return, and we got people across the entire world chipping in to help.

Maybe we don't deserve to nuke ourselves into oblivion just yet

Very well said. I'm hoping that at minimum, we could make this a yearly project. :toast:

Looks like we finished with a total donation of $565, nearly doubling the amount we donated last time. Money will be sent to the trust on Saturday or Monday.

I am relatively new to TPU (compared to most of you), and I'm also new to Folding/Crunching (though i do fold regularly now for TPU), but seeing this thread really moved me. Its great how a community of faceless and nameless people can unite together for a common cause.

Whether the money collection be an annual thing or not, I suggest, throughout the year, we continue donating computer parts. I know a lot of folders/crunchers have massive PC farms and upgrade often so we should be able to come up with substantial hardware. As and when we feel we have the hardware collected for one system, we all ship it to a volunteer who is willing to maintain it and use it for crunching only under loonym's name.

We could probably use this thread to collaborate on that. I'm willing to run a crunching rig as well as invest $100 into it (apart from the electricity bill, of course). i know its not a significant amount, but being a college student who just put together a dedicated folding rig, its the most I can afford ATM.

That's a great idea. I can, when I'm off tonight, set up another thread on this factor. That way we have one to its name of doing so.. I know we had a long thread, and for a good while, folded/cruched for a TPU member a while back.. Don't ask me the name, there is to many to remember.. lol I know it started with a S

Looking forward to the thread. My offer stands.

I'll comb threw the thread, and do a search threw TPU on tribute farms... See what we can do in it... I'll link it in this thread, then close it afterwards. I'll reopen ~~the~~ this thread once we get ready to donate money.

Hmm, did some online research for a bit, and the last thing I can find from StanHemi is this thread here on TPU:

pair of 4870s Vs. single 5850

He was at least a member over at Extreme Overclockers, but I don't see any posts from him since the above TPU thread!

Chicken Patty · Dec 15, 2010

His last activity was almost 1/2 year ago.

I just checked into my home at XS (yup, I've been on the road for some time...) and saw a PM referring to this post. I must say, you folks just plain rock. Jon would be very pleased to see this happening.

From my family to all of yours, I wish you the best Christmas ever. You folks deserve it.

Regards,
Bob

Thank you Bob, we just appreciate the kind of member/person that he was and just want the best for the little one. We'll do anything at anytime to help her out and keep Jon in peace that his daughter is safe and well taken care off. :respect:

Merry Christmas to all of you! :toast:
