    Were the prizes given out randomly or by rank on the leaderboard? Also, does that list include everyone who participated or..? I'm pretty sure I put in the team name code and I got nearly 10M earned points but I'm not on the leaderboard 😞 Would be a shame if I lost out on the raffle because I inputted something wrong. It said in the F@H client that I was on the LinusTechTips team so I assume I did it right but who knows.

    Did you sign up for the event back in October?

    I leaped over Favebook : ) might be able to run home with this.

    I am guessing here @IgorSinelnikov and I am certainly not speaking for @GOTSpectrum but the "they" type statements are becoming much more common. Honestly with screen names especially a lot of the time its hard to tell anyways, and the more I have learned about it, the less it rarely matters either way. I play a card game and I have interacted with a broad spectrum of people and they are all cool. I have also failed pretty hard a few times and mixed up genders and general stuck my foot in my mouth at random times. If I personally flipped to "they" "them" or super generic "you" I would probably duck being wrong : ) Also side note, nice damn numbers seriously.

    Yes, you will. If one of my 2080S didn't die a week ago, I'd be holding onto 6th spot until end of event 🙂

    Everyone and their dog has already thanked you @GOTSpectrum and the whole team behind this event (@leadeater  @marknd59  @cbigfoot @ssmmdd @j1philli and anyone else I might have forgotten), but I thank you again!

    I am here with only one question regarding folding badge thresholds change.

     

    For those that have achieved a certain rank but will not be hitting the new thresholds for the same rank before January 1, 2021 will they be downgraded to lower badge or will the badge achieved persist?

     

    EDIT: I forgot to thank everyone who donated prices and of course everyone who folded (and keeps folding).
    EDITEDIT: Oh, I won the second award, that's a first one. Thank you for providing that one to the pool @RollinLower!

    16th and over 300m points in this event so happy with that, I know I am not even close to the amazing numbers of the top tier but this has been a fun event and looking forward to the next event. Thank you to everyone who has been apart of this and lease do even better in the next event. 

     

    Now to figure out how they earned sop much and see if I can improve my gear to do better :) 

    Event has not yet finished.

     

    And most of "top tier" peps you see at top are running much more hardware, there is not much gain in fiddling with your gear.

    Power limiting a lot of GPUs can save you electricity while holding same PPD. You could later use that money to buy new gear instead of overclocking your current one. :)

    Nope, we don't publish that data to discourage people from only folding for 20 days to get the chance of prizes 

    Even though it is actually very easy to check if you know how.

    Um.... isn't this "DAY 24"?

    Umm, do you even count? ...21,22,23,25,26,27... Have you not learned that in school?

    I think it'd be kinda nice to see a normalized "points per machine/client" number so those of us with outdated hardware can see just how much ground we could potentially make up next time with better hardware. I may have a 3700X in here, but the RX470 is definitely keeping me down in the 200's lol

    Not possible AFAIK.

    If you want to see how much each GPU gets you average PPD you can check THIS awesome database.

    It is updated almost hourly (as new WUs are finished) and anyone can contribute to it.

     

    EDIT: Could be done if they sort by IP address from here.

    But I doubt, if people use multiple different ISPNs there could be conflict and misinformation as F@H reports only last digits of IP.

    Also, I do not think it is worth it.

    Dropped 20 spots because I dared to stop F@H so I could play some games (in particular a game that crashes to desktop repeatedly if F@H is using the GPU).

    You shouldn't have problems like that. Just put the PL to 100% or above and downclock or reset clocks to default. You shouldn't see any problems.

     

    UNLESS you are on unstable driver or modified BIOS.

    Could be that there was no such username when you registered (and you didn't yet finish a WU) and now there is the name as you finished 9 WUs. That note should be corrected. Seems that you did everything right, it's just that some systems are slow to recognize.

    Same problem as for Roo Inner. 👆

    They always finish before they time out on my computer. What I'm saying, is that I can't fold all the time like other people. I don't want to stop the workunits before they finish, rather than forcing them to stop. I may not have the most powerful computer out there, but I'm doing what I can to contribute, and if I'm going to do it, I want to fully finish a WU.

    Keep folding. Every bit helps.

    I'm not timing them out because I'd rather contribute them in full to science rather than race to get the most points. I don't care how long it takes, I want to help science rather than half assing a work unit just to get some points on my profile. And I didn't know points were submitted once a WU was completed.

    No one here really cares about points (keep reading). There isn't really a reward for being the best or having most points, it's basically bragging right. But more points=more WUs done and faster (better for F@H and possible treatments/cures). Therefore, people who have more points helped more but it isn't important as I said (every bit helps is what I mean by this sentence), but your statement (bolded) is basically wrong way of thinking and misinformed to say the least. If you want to help science, let those WUs be done before they time-out and try to do them as soon as possible and do not talk bad about people who are actually helping with amazing amount of equipment!

    Why do you think this?

    My computer probably hasn't completed a workunit since the start of the folding event, I guess. It's not all that powerful and I can't keep it running overnight etc because of the loud fans.

    Then this was just a waste of time since you haven't had it active enough to finish a WU and you did not bother to look at logs.

    I am surprised you didn't time-out those WUs.

    Well done, nothing we can do from here. First check if you have your passkey so you can get more points (because it seems like you do not).

    And check logs to see if those WUs actually finished and uploaded (they could've failed if you OC-ed the hell out of your system - I got no other explanation).

    But neither does F@H see your WUs nor EoC, therefore, neither can this event see them since they pull data from EoC (or was it directly from F@H?).

     

    Your last submitted WU was at 2020-06-16 04:26:26
