yeah only top 100   I am so far down that list, not even a life boat will help get my head above that water level again. By the time I finish paying for a system to catchup, I could probably fund the cure for cancer myself.

They are drawing 3 of the winners from the top 100 then the rest of the winners randomly from those that entered the giveaway. You still have a chance to win even if you aren't top 100.

at least not until @Gorgon @GOTSpectrum and I make our own stats tracking server

This shouldn't be too hard to do, might give me a reason to dust off my data warehousing knowledge from like 10 years ago.

I see what you mean and it might be good for publicity but When they do talk about it on WAN (which is only some weeks) Linus has referred to the fact they don't want to push the platform too much until they are out of alpha (no eta) but on the other side has mentioned that they do need it to start making money to hopefully offset some of the red that they are in. Maybe long term it wouldn't be a bad idea once they are in beta but for now I kinda doubt it would be ideal. Also having people able to verify points and then calculate discount on them isn't and easy task... at least not until @Gorgon @GOTSpectrum and I make our own stats tracking server... I do like the idea though of hopefully something LMG can do to encourage it and keep the participation up long term.

There's an API for it correct? I might be able to assist in making a tracker (not necessarily right away, doing a hell of a lot of things right now, POGO Portal submission site for local discord is one, hundreds of thousands of POI entries have been done/yet to do because Google limited my API access ). That said I've also crated a few barbaric scrappers for job searching  (Sorry Indeed but your site sucks), also for Runescapes GE when I played it...

 

I see a potential issue with what you have said, Linus not wanting it to go public(I remember about a year ago they talked about why they didn't approach one of the big YouTubers) makes perfect sense till they get a good chunk of bugs and issues (including infrastructure) sorted out, however the issue is when sides clash which sounds like they are. If FP says they need to make more money, but Linus is holding back that ability it could lead to a disaster, right now is prime time with the whole Ninja leaving Twitch thing. If one waits too long a large potential could be lost. I know they don't want to possibly tackle streamers but when it comes down to ability and money if the service can handle it I say "Why not?"

 

IMO by doing the trial by PPD could/should lead to more money, even if they don't increase their clientele base for video creators. The whole point is to get people from here to go into FP in hopes they become paying customers, it's not like they are inviting the whole internet in.

still negative each month.

LTT could make a partnership w/ FP and give away like 5 subscription "gifts" to random members from top 100 each month or something. Wouldn't take money from FP, and instead actually put some into it as LTT as a company have to pay for that.

idk if they still talk about it there

not really actually.. like, they rarely do, but mostly no. I think they try to talk about it when there are actual new features / exciting things coming to FP

Technically this is what they are likely already doing, so ultimately by not doing it actually could be seen as hurting FPs bottom line more than not.

 

To my understanding since both companies are technically separate FP takes a cut from LTT/LMG like BitWit etc. So technically so long as FP gets their cut from the per subscription costs from them LTT can do whatever they please to attempt to get subscribers.

It's been like that the last time I watched a wan show as well, hopefully FP doesn't go the way of a lot of google projects have, some had great potential like FP.

 

R.I.P Wave you will be missed

Hopefully FP is a sturdier Vessel than those other projects

It is sturdier than Vessel already since it hasn't been bought to be shut down and merged, with no known prospects known of. Truth be told I keep forgetting about that site, and now I know why, 21 months isn't very long...

It just needs to hold out for another monthish to be better, than it can be sold off which I doubt will happen anyways.

If I could just keep getting WU 14185 all day that would be great.  Thanks.

 

  Ok, I know what I'm replacing my old 960 FTW with.  That is some nice output.

Never say never. Seeing as how Curecoin is falling in production, future graphics card horsepower increases might make passing them possible in the next decade.

IIRC, wasn’t HardOCP king of hill a few years ago? And here we are looking to pass them in 3 weeks.

 

Yep, heck, OCN use to be up there (the team I started off with back in the GTX480/GTX580 days).

But than again, me and several others got a bit miffed over some decisions that occur on OCN (lets just say, a very nice fellow folder was not treated right by the mods) and the big forum overhaul did not help.

 

:C  Still miss the Chimp Challenge though.  Not sure if anyone could get all the tech forum boards to come together again to do such an event. 

 

Well, I did finally get a 14196 on my 1080Ti.  Heck, gimme those.  1.3mil PPD is nice.

That is definitely an outlier for a 1660 Ti. It should average about 750kPPPD on Linux but with the poor selection of WUs these days mine is more like 660kPPD averaged over the last 6 days. Still, they are nice cards and even more power efficient than Pascal. Though EVGA optimistically gives it a max power of 180W I’ve yet to see it do more than 130W peak and an average of 118W.

[mattheginger]

My card is back to its old tricks again, falling off boost (down to 1500 MHz) whenever I open certain random programs (spotify etc), or even often when my monitor goes to sleep.

 

Surely this is a simple setting somewhere?  The second to last windows update seemed to fix it, now with the latest update it's back again 

 

 

[Stormseeker9]

5 of these 'transfer failed'errors in the last 6 days.

 

Get back to my machine.. 2070 is on 14191 and PPD has dropped to ~1M pdd from the ~1.3-4m average

[shaz2sxy]

Argghhhh stupid BT router

 

 

so its not just my wifi that goes off, its the router, the powerlines helped the other day but not last night.... 

 

lost 4 hours stuck on a download/upload and only 1 card working

[minibois]

What kind of stupid WU's are you giving me F@H 

Both my CPU and GPU are at BELOW half of what they do on a normal day...

Luckily both WU's are finished in an hour, so hopefully I will get some better units, otherwise my score for the day will be even lower than usually 

 

EDIT: in other news, I broke the 4 mil points barrier and entered the team top 2000!

(yay!)

[shaz2sxy]

How is everyone doing, its very quiet... everyone too busy checking in on there machine to make sure they are folding lol.

 

just realised we are half way... WOOP WOOP

O darn, that is sure not bad.  Good to hear there is WUs that do good on AMD cards.

 

Speaking of good Workunits for AMD:

I got a 14271 for the first time today, seems pretty OP for my underclocked and undervolted Vega 64

[GOTSpectrum]

I've actually been called to an job by a previous client. I don't actually work in IT anymore, but their a closes friend so here we are.

 

Expecting it to last a few hours, boo!

 

Then home ot make dinner and look after the baby.

How do I check my days of activity? I know I need at least 20, but I'd like to make sure I'm not a day or two short! I've already gotten 2million points and like 30 WUs, just hoping to make the days now.

Just check HERE.

As long as your daily production is not 0 you can count that day.

There is Daily Production sheet(at the bottom of page) which keeps logs for last 12 days. However, you can check daily graph too, as long as the "pointer"(little square for every day) is not at bottom you can count that day.

https://foldingathome.org/faqs/fah-v7/v7-introduction/web-control/what-is-prcg/WHAT IS PRCG?

This is an abbreviation corresponding to four numbers which identifies and distinguishes each Work Unit. The first number specifies the Project, which is the protein under study.  A single project number is made up of thousands of individual Work Units.  The remaining three numbers identify the specific part of the project that has been assigned exclusively to you. Work is rarely duplicated (except when a computer fails to complete an assignment in a timely manner) so every set of PRCG numbers is unique and only assigned to one person.

Technical details of the PRCG numbers and how Work Units relate to each other are covered under the more advanced Simulation FAQ.
