Why is there a bonus for SMP WU's

[Geoffric]

When I check my SMP stats, in the points total column on the upper left, it lists more points than I have been given.

A friend told me I got a bonus after completing 10 SMP WU's, and that the extra points not awarded, would be awarded as soon as I completed a total of 10 SMP WU's.

Today I completed 10 SMP WUs, but didn't get any bonus.

I am using a code key and everything and am not anonymous.

I am only generating about 900 points a day in SMP, yet on the FAH GPU Tracker 2.0 top page it says I am earning 5.5 k PPD on SMP

Go to:

Enter your folding name and passkey. It should display how many WUs you've completed with that passkey.

If you're running other clients with that passkey the number of WUs might be higher than 10 but that doesn't mean you've completed 10 SMP WUs with that passkey.

Your friend gave you bad info. You'll get bonus points on the 10th SMP WU you complete as long as you use the same passkey/username on all of them. You'll never get bonus points for the first 9 WUs.

As far as I can tell your not getting bonus points yet. This is the last WU turned in by you.

Hi Geoffric (team 121496),
Your WU (P6801 R2718 C2 G9) was added to the stats database on 2011-02-14 07:07:17 for 1348 points of credit.

Edit: My mistake. P6801 is a GPU WU so wouldn't get bonus points.

[Geoffric]

Yes, they were all on the same machine with the same passkey, someone said it might be because some are A3, and some or A2 units. Thanks for the links and information.

I really think this is so cool, and I am putting together a new machine on a shoestring budget to fold some more!

Again, bad info. Both A2 and A3 apply to the bonus system eligibility.

Doublely bad, because A2 WUs have been retired for several months, so it is unlikely you have folded any A2 work units if you just started folding with SMP.

Triplely bad, as A2 work units won't even run on a Windows system.

If you don't start getting the bonus soon, please post again with more info about your system.

I made a mistake saying you didn't get bonus points for the p6801 WU. That was a GPU WU so would not get any bonus points. However, you did just turn in another WU which is an A3 SMP WU and it did get bonus points.

Hi Geoffric (team 121496),
