Yes, Atto is that small-but-mighty Folding@Home team that quietly climbed past giants to take the #1 spot.
Folding@Home is a distributed computing project where users donate computing power to simulate protein dynamics, aiding research into diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and more. It also happens to be a great place for coin miners to direct unused CPU/GPU resources to a worthy cause.
Atto mining activity notably increased starting April 22nd, marking a significant uptick in participation. This surge can be seen
here. The Atto team currently has more computing power behind it than any of the >1,000 other teams (
leaderboard).
Atto's team number is 1066107. To earn Atto for your mining efforts, set the username to your wallet address, without the 'atto://' prefix.
More detailsThanks to everyone already folding with Atto—and to everyone else: jump in. We’ve got proteins to fold.
Note: Atto is a new cryptocurrency project. Mining through Folding@Home is currently the main way to earn Atto, with 15% of the supply planned to be distributed over a year using this method. Atto has no ICO and is not listed on any exchanges yet.
