Bonus Status Cleanup Request (wont be back in bonus till 2028)

[andy2108]

Hi all, been folding since 2008 but first time posting (I think)

One of my old rigs had a power supply go down, but it was automatically booting back up and pulling WU's down. These WU's expired because the machine wasn't able to complete the work. The root cause has been addressed with a new power supply.

My bonus status took a huge hit. By my projections my Bonus wont be Active until August of 2028....

Can someone go in and clear these expired work units for my account so that my bonus is back active again?

It would kind of suck to fold without bonus for three whole years.







Thanks,
-Andy2108

I don't think that is possible.
The only way to go ground zero is scrape all the points, and that is the same as just folding under different passkey and username

Basically the only way I can recommend to get your bonus back is to get a new passkey. You can use a different username and the same email address, or use a different email address, that will get a new passkey. It does not matter what username you used when getting the passkey, just change the passkey for the systems you are folding with. It will take working on and completing 10 WUs that are returned, and then you would be getting the QRB again. Some reports are based on the username and passkey pair, but the main donor stats do report just by username and/or team.

Keep the username, just request a new passkey, fahclient might show points accumulated under new passkey only, but main stats should show all the points you accumulated through the years

So what I can do is go here (https://apps.foldingathome.org/getpasskey), use my username (andy2108) and a different email to generate a fresh passkey.

This would reset bonus stats but not reset the points associated with my username?

Yes, in a way
