nice nice , and lol, i would expect as much on 0.00%.

They seem to have been abit inconsistent with this, i'm not sure how it is right now.. But, my first suggestion. Try setting your threads to an even number, ie 6. You might be getting blocked for that reason.

If you haven't folded before, do that ^ Otherwise you aren't eligible for QRB, (quick return bonus) which in turn means alot less points. You can find links and stuff in the FAQ Passkey link is here: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py Otherwise you need to wait for abit for the client to give reasonably accurate estimates.

Welcome to all new members! There is your cookie. Cookie updated.

Just for the record, the first badge is the contributor/member badge, which you get at 21 work units. A milestone you are likely to hit before 1 million points. Aswell as the FAQ linked above, there is also the installation guide here. If you have any specific questions, i am sure people will be happy to answer to the best of their abilities.

Seems like they might be having some problems, it isn't working on my end either.

Aha, i see, thanks Different than what i was thinking about.

Probably what i would go with, the whole reason for getting the second card is that it's a huge pain in the arse to constantly pause and unpause folding whenever you are doing something different. Then maybe you forget to unpause when you go to bed, potentially 8 or more hours wasted until you notice. You don't have to consider loss of QRB whenever you are gaming or doing something else, etc.. If you are looking for an alternative to a dedicated card, you could just leave the second card folding all the time. Potentially fold with the first card whenever you feel like it, that will leave more of an impact on the power bill though.

Github is a fairly trusted resource as far as i am aware, nothing is 100% foolproof though. Might be better safe than sorry.

How did you do this exactly? I usually suggest experimenting with the indexes in the client. This sounds like a more reliable/easier approach. From another guy who doesn't know what he is doing

@kangk81 As mentioned above though, there is the FAHbench as one possible option for reasonable consistency. Admittedly i haven't used it myself, and i don't know how it correlates to actual folding performance. https://folding.stanford.edu/home/download-utilities/

I am not sure what the intention behind this topic was, but i doubt there is enough content or food for discussion to warrant its own thread. - Locked

Sorry but the rules on advertising are clear. - Locked

Nice nice, welcome back. Persistence is key, just keep at it and you will definitely climb up the leaderboard with that ppd.

I think not advertising = doesn't care, is an unwarranted assumption. That said, i don't know why they seem to have become so silent about it, they(mostly Luke) have been vocal about it in the past. As for benchmarks, as some have already mentioned, there are frequent driver problems and other irregularities, making any sort of consistency between benchmarks pretty difficult.

They mentioned it here and there a while ago, especially on the wan show. I haven't been following their content that thoroughly lately, so i can't say for sure, but it does feel like they have stopped giving it attention. Maybe we could get a shoutout when the folding team reaches the 10'th spot on the leaderboard

Not sure i quite follow, but are you thinking about a subforum dedicated to this? There is already the build-log section, which is pretty much this. Then you can create albums on your profile, etc etc.. https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/3-build-logs/ https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/183-show-off-your-setup/

Thread is 5 months old, if this information is outdated and/or wrong, it should be in a new thread. - Locked

Sorry, but the rules are clear on advertising. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/965477-community-standards/ For future reference, sharing useful information and the like, the guidelines in the tutorial section might be relevant. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/537396-posting-guidelines-please-read-before-posting/

A few weeks or months ago i think , a thread about it here.

Having a difficulty finding an actual list or anything of the sort, but if you look at your log, you can see the download and upload size of each wu. Take into account the time spent and you can conjure some kinda rough approximation.

Depends on how much gear you are folding with i suppose, how much you have to download/upload. I haven't actually tested this, but assuming this unknown drive can fill up several times over before showing any significant wear. I doubt 1-2GB a month is going to be the deciding factor on the lifespan of the drive.

Could take a few days depending on who it is, some does them in batches, or maybe they were just busy. I can have a look if you add me to the pm or just send me a new one. Edit: for further clarification, yes that is pretty much the proper way, as you can find in the FAQ. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/207857-for-folding-users-tips-tricks-and-faq-updated-july-2016/
