The day has finally come. NordicHardware's Folding@Home team has climbed up among the Top 250 after only four and a half month. It required about 12.3 million points (at the moment 12 233 390 to be precise) and about 28,000 work units (27 954 to be picky). If everything goes as planned we should be able to move up another 50 spots until the end of next month, but then we need to collect about 17 million points, which is far from unthinkable. NordicHardware Folding@Home (...sigh) was officially announced on October 1st last year, exactly eight years after Stanford University first announced its project that today has grown into the world's largest network of distributed computing, and it just looks to grow bigger and bigger.
The sigh above was due to the fact that since the launch I have had to write the full name more than 30 times (twice that counting the two languages), and probably typed it wrong and corrected it even more times. We would therefore like to announce a competition for a new name of the team and a logotype. The name doesn't have to be advanced of fancy, on the contrary, simplicity is a virtue (the fewer letters the better).
Regarding the logotype you are pretty free to do what you want, but some guidelines should perhaps be "NH" and protein or computer networks. Whatever you may come up with is up to you. You don't have to do both logo and name, but since they are kind of connected it may be easier that way. We may have another award for the person coming up with the winning submission.
