Folding Forum

That I do not know. It may depend on what characters cause issues with database searches and which do not. The ">" character has caused problems in the past, it was thought to have been fixed. I have not seen reports of issues with square brackets.

@Mactin which OS and version are you using on that new PC?

Just to clarify some of the details on getting credit for WUs, the username, passkey and team need to match at the time of upload to what was used to request the WU. Otherwise credit goes to "Anonymous". In addition the WU has to be returned by the same client. So if any of those settings ...

When Nvidia says a driver version supports a range of GPUs, often they are only referring to support as a video card. You sometimes have to dig down into the notes to find that an older card doesn't get full support for compute use with OpenCL and/or CUDA support dropped or broken.

That checkpoint setting only changed the frequency for CPU folding. Current GPU folding cores and WUs use settings made by the researchers which are so many steps through the total. Most are set to amounts ranging from 2 to 5 percent of the progress. The client can not change those, and the frequenc...

I have checked your stats submissions, 14 WUs have been turned in since you restarted with a new passkey. Using the Recent CPUs app I can see that the latest two WUs returned still are not getting the bonus. So the problem appears to be with one or more of the non-alphanumeric characters used in you...

Yes, you must use the passkey app to generate a valid passkey. The stats used to accept user created passkeys, but that resulted in a number of problems and wasn't actually ever a supported method. So now any passkeys not recorded in the database used with the app will not get bonus points. So do th...

Oh, an extra digit was added at some point then. I hadn't noticed the change. My 15 digit passkey still works, and my test of the passkey app today to check that it was working sent it to me once again.

What I told you before about the username not needing to match, it does not matter what username you use to get a passkey. So use anything you want for username in the app, but the passkey app probably is trying to use just the recommended alphanumeric characters. You can also use any email, the pas...

I don't know if the bonus part of the statistics has a problem with your username, it could just be the API for the lookup app. The stats server seems to have no problem storing and reporting the WU results from your client with the current username. To keep current account stats, do not change the ...

From using the Recent CPUs - https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu - lookup the last WUs shown as turned in did not get a bonus. That can come from the passkey not being entered into the client, or entered incorrectly with leading or trailing spaces. If you used a passkey you made up yourself, that als...

Next-unit-percentage=100 [useful if folding on CPU and +GPU, could do without this one since I decided not to.] The default for v7 was to download at 99%, this option was useful for those with fast connections. But it only saved a few seconds compared to how the v8 client does downloads. The v8 cli...

If you mean the advanced control app FAHControl, that is not a part of the version 8 client. The client app itself still runs in the background like it did for v7. Pretty much anything you could do with FAHControl can now be done through the v8 Web Control used in a browser, unlike the v7 Web Contro...

First check the beta forum by project number and see if it has been listed as moved to FAH. Second, the usual summary list only shows those projects which are on FAH. Beta are listed separately the last I checked. There is a separate Project Summary for Beta, I would have to look up the link.

It was merged with the existing topic you failed to see. Use the Your Posts link.
