#### Earn BANANO By Contributing To Medical Research
Some weeks ago I came across Banano, a meme coin forked from Nano. Initially I just went *"pass"* in the back of my mind until I saw they're using [folding@home](https://foldingathome.org/), to support *Medical Research* by assigning *"miners"* unused CPU/GPU processing power to analyse data assigned in *Work Units (WU)* known as *folding*. Contributors are rewarded with $BAN for completing *Work Units*.
> *"Folding refers to the way human protein folds in the cells that make up your body. We rely on the proteins to keep us healthy and they assemble themselves by folding. But when they misfold, there can be serious consequences to a person’s health."* ###### *From* [*folding@home*](https://foldingathome.org) #### What The Fork? Being a fork of Nano, Banano inherits the technologies found in the Nano blockchain; Block-latice (dubbed *block-lettuce*), a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based architecture enabling each individual account to be assigned its own blockchain otherwise known as an account chain resulting in near instant P2P transactions with **ZERO-FEES**. @bananocurrency offers an opportunity to be compensated for contributing to a great cause and creates a fun environment for everyone. They're also developing a privacy layer dubbed [*Camo Banano*](https://steemit.com/privacy/@bananocurrency/introducing-camo-banano-banano-s-privacy-layer)
Faucets, games, miners and wallets can be found [here](https://banano.cc) ##### Note: $BAN can be stored on a Ledger device and managed with [Bananovault](https://vault.banano.cc/), installing the Banano app requires the Nano app to be installed too. **I wish I was told this weeks ago!**. ###### *Visuals from [Banano's Bitcointalk thread](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5165788.0)
