This is a charitable cause for spending bits. You may have heard of the folding at home initiative:
Folding@home - Main. Many individuals and companies are folding at home and perhaps it is an idea to pay forum members to fold for them and pay them in bits. The way it would work is that someone offers bits to anyone who is prepared to fold one or more work units from the folding at home site.
If the idea takes hold, we could even try an auction, whereby work units which give higher scores are also awarded more bits to the price point that is still acceptable to a donor.
Please let me have your thoughts.
