Ok here it goes,

 

"Folding as" - This is just a username you pick, for keeping track of points

 

Team - This is if you want to contribute to a team, the team number is just put in here. Eg. The LTT team's number is 223518

 

Passkey - This is for QRB, or Quick Return Bonus mainly, and once you complete 10 CPU work units on the Desktop app only (?) you are eligible for this. I don't think this makes a diiference for the Chrome app though ( @Whaler_99 ?)

 

Progress bar - I think this is kind of self explanatory, but this just shows how far you've completed the work unit

 

Folding Power - This controls how much power you want to use for folding. The light setting hovers the CPU usage around 20-25% for me, The medium setting uses around 50-60%. The full setting uses 100% of the CPU

 

"You are contributing to project XXXX" - This is just what type of work unit you are completing, and there's a description of the specific one that you're completing 

 

Hopefully this helped a little, feel free to PM me if you need any help though, I'd be willing to help out @melias24

Excellent overview.

 

To further expand, the Passkey is required to to get QRB points by ensuring you are who you say you are, it's also kind of a security key. I am not sure on the specifics, but it helps ensure you are who you say you are when uploading stats so the proper account get credited.

 

Now, I could simply change an ID to anyone's and my points would go to their total, but I wouldn't get QRB... 

 

Ya, kinda confusing, I know.
