Folding Forum

I am back up and folding again.
I updated the folding-laptop to a Sony VAIO with a Core i7-3517U CPU.

To safe much confusion a stated minimum hardware specification would be great information on the folding@home website or in the forum.

I guess it goes to e-waste then.

The whole idea of using these old devices is to keep them in use and out of e-waste.
Is the hardware specs of this laptop too low to be useful to folding@home?

I am have a problem with my folding laptop receiving a WU. Its stuck in a "Assignment Wait" loop. This started after I shutdown the laptop for a couple of months while we were away. After returning home and starting up the folding laptop it has been unable to receive a WU. I was running ve...

Looking at my Accounts Settings (https://v8-3.foldingathome.org/account). I see that I have both a passkey and a Token. I had a look at my notes for v7 installation and I see that I was using the same passkey. So yes I am using the same passkey from V7 (no new passkey). Sorry my mistake: Yes, when I...

Thank you calxalot for your quick reply to my query. Yes, when I upgraded from version 7 to version 8 I went from using a username + password to using a username + passkey. So my statistics of "422,839 points earned and 107 WUs completed " is my version 8 statistics. I guess there is no wa...

This is not a big issue, more of a curiosity. I noticed that there is a missmatch in donor statistics between my Folding@Home Donor Statistic page: https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/id/1055290 913,053 points earned 267 WUs completed and what I see in my Folding@home Client web interface page whi...

Thank you for this information. Easy to convert to local time.

Perhaps also including an option for the conversion of times to the donor's local time zone as well? We are seeing the same issue here in our timezone. Brisbane, Qld. Australia (UTC+10). We completed the last WU around 9:00am (28/08/2024) The new WU started at 10:22pm (2024/08/27). Somewhere in Nor...

Yes, this is what we have been doing as well. Which brings up the question; what is the difference between Pause+Dump and Finish?

We recently moved from fahclient V7.6 to fah-client V8.3. Once fah-client was up and running I had to dump the first few WUs as our eta exceeded the WU deadline. We were able to complete a few WUs since but now we are constantly getting WU that can not be completed in time. For instance we keep gett...

Keep an eye on ETA vs WU Deadline. Yes, that is right. I had to dump the first two WU as the deadline was half the time of the ETA. The third WU gave a deadline of four days, my ETA settled down to 2 days. That WU completed successfully. I have since had to dump another WU due to a deadline being t...

Yes, I was able to log into my Machine from my iPhone via Safari. I did kill off the ssh tunnel session and the laptop continues to fold. So I need to run the tunnel from my local PC (or any other PC on our LAN) after rebooting the folding laptop? The ETA of the current WU (Project 19228) is 14 hour...

You will see linked and possibly unlinked machines at bottom of account settings. https://v8-3.foldingathome.org/account This is what I see when I log into https://v8-3.foldingathome.org/machines under the Machines tab: https://www.sauveconsulting.com.au/images/tempFolder/01-fah-client.PNG This is ...
