How the user name looks like after adding passkey?

Post by madstorm »

Could someone tell me how it works? How the username looks like after adding passkey? When i'm lucky to see my stats under that link I see few things:
https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/787028

1. After adding the pass key it still shows the same user name.
2. I use small case madstorm, however the usarname shown there is MadStorM
3. When click on the client to display my stats it redirect me to https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/787028 where 787028 I guess is the user id, however when I try to check myself on https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com ... =&u=787028 - there user doesn't exist, also if I search for my name.

If you check https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com ... ist.php?s= you can see long (strange) usernames, like combined with the passkey?

So that's why I've asked is this like your name should looks like after adding passkey?

When clicking on my username on the client before and after adding the passkey it redirects me to the same link with 787028 on the end. So please explain how this passkey thing works. Thanks in advance! :)

The user numbers are not the same across the two web sites. For instance I'm donor number 104319 at the Folding@home stats page, but user id 33556 at EOC.

The user names you see with long strings on the end are for CureCoin folders, they have nothing to do with passkeys.

Have you turned in any work units since entering your passkey in the client? You won't see any changes in the stats until after you start turning in work units using your passkey.

Welcome to Folding, madstorm.

1. Your user name remains the same regardless of the passkey.

2. Can you post the section from your log file that has the following section:

Code: Select all

06:09:31:<config>
...
06:09:31:  <!-- User Information -->
06:09:31:  <passkey v='********************************'/>
06:09:31:  <team v='xxxxx'/>
06:09:31:  <user v='yyyyy'/>
...
06:09:31:</config>
Considering MadStorM hasn't contributed to any other team, I suspect your Folding is being done under this name.

3a. User Ids are irrelevant.
3b. EOC stats indexes data for teams from the top 6,000 teams (the maintainer of this third party site is considering increasing this up to the top 12,000 teams and some fast growing teams that are not in the top 12,000). However, user data is only obtained for the top 800 teams (or were in the top 800 at some point in time). You team is already on EOC and at the rate at which you folks are going, I give it a couple of days before you breach the top 800 mark at which point your individual statistics will appear in EOC.

4. The long strange usernames are those who are part of the Curecoin team and are unrelated to passkeys. I can't say I totally understand how that works but it's got something to do with a type of bitcoins and FAH.

Edit: I see jonault's answered your questions while my slow fingers typed this out.

Hi and thanks for your answers. Now all it's clear except who is MadStorM??? :D

I haven't finish any WU after adding passkey, it will happen in about 30 minutes.

Here is part of the log you've anandhanju asked:

Code: Select all

12:08:43:  <!-- User Information -->
12:08:43:  <passkey v='********************************'/>
12:08:43:  <team v='236420'/>
12:08:43:  <user v='madstorm'/>

That is strange. Perhaps a mod can provide more insight on this when they have some time to spare.

By the way, your team's user list is now on EOC and here's your individual stats page: https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com ... =&u=909936

It is indeed. Should I just contact one of mods via PM?

Yep, I've noticed that. Thanks for your help.
