keep in mind that it can drastically affect your score if you have WUs for an extended amount of time before you can work on them

Okay, thanks. Should I set this for a higher number, like 95 so non-worked WU's are sitting there for less time? I am running my PC 24/7 so it should automatically work on the next WU without delay.

Did you try turning it off and on again?

 

I hear hitting it with a hammer works as well.

I'm moving over to EVGA as well - you're not escaping that easily.

 

Besides they have folding bucks to offset the ridiculous shipping charges to Canada

 

They said they don't want you.

Had the same problem this morning... after 100 attemts to get a WU, I was setting back my setting and it worked right away...you can go down up to 90 

 

Thanks that should make a difference. PS: If You get connected to Work Server. 128.252.203.10 and its variants. Good luck, that server always seems to time out leaving you with waiting for assignment. Now if you get Work Server 13.90.150.57 and its variants, expected it to work pretty quickly.

you kinda just have to adjust it depending on how much work is available... you could just leave it at 90 i guess but that may take like 10-20% of your score (it depends on lotsa things; the projects your running, how fast your slots are, the availability of work...)

You just have to poke it a few times and wake it up.  Same happened to me earlier this morning.

Love when my laptop gets the 5500 base credit CPU project...and my desktop gets a base 420 project. Woohoo!

I think it's just because relatively few people are using Quadros. The Quadro should be faster for these kinds of workloads, at least that's what I think.

 

PA vm4 slot 1: GT 1030

PA vm4 slot 2: GT 730

PA vm6 slot 1: GT 1030

PA vm7 slot 1: Quadro K4200

PA vm8 slot 1: HD 7750

Test slot 0: Quadro 4000

 

I am not entirely sure where these Quadros are in relation to the GT/X though.

It's an MSI GS40 with a 6700HQ, so total time looks to be about 18 hours

I am mad af, yesterday my production was gimped because I barely got any WU's.

Today, at the start, things looked good, got a real spike in production, but for the last 4 hours I can pause/fold and restart all I want, I am getting shit..... Makes me "reeee"

Oof, if that hit my old Lenovo Yoga 9000 with an i7 6500, it might take a whole week...

How long after something is posted to Float Plane, does it usually hit youtube?

Standard is 1 week, but I expect it'll be less for these

I'm wondering - does pausing and unpausing really do anything?  As in, since the client checks in a regular intervals, maybe the pause/unpause is fruitless and our clients just happen to get a new WU despite what us humans do when we're obsessed?

It checks again immediately on unpause, and it resets the countdown timers for a re-check.  I tend to try the pause unpause when the next WS attempt gets over 20 minutes.

The point is it does NOT check at regular intervals, after each fail it increases the delay to the next try. So at some point it won't even try again before several hours. Pause/unpause resets this.

I've only been doing so if I notice that its been 30 minutes or more since last trying
