Title: Folding via your mobile phone

Came across this yesterday ...

Basically, a folding client runs on your phone when it's on a charger, is 100% charged and connected to wifi. As someone who charges their phone overnight this suits me more than leaving a PC running. I tried it for the first time last night and this morning (when I unplugged it) it said I'd 'folded' for 4 hours.

There doesn't appear to be the ability to join the dMw group but I'm happy just to contribute anonymously.

Installed on my N5 & N7. Likewise I charge both overnight.

Mine doesn't overheat (no warning etc.) but it is hot when I unplug it after a night's folding.

Likewise, warm rather than hot. Obviously the little cogs and wheels are spinning.
