Yet another bonus plan question

[bruce]

AFAIK both A1 and A2 (and A3) WUs count toward the 10 WU minimum and the 80% minimum for a passkey to qualify for bonuses. After you've qualified your passkey, you only get a bonus on projects which have a Kfactor value.

EDIT: Correction: The A1 WUs do NOT count toward the passkey qualification. You'll need 10 WUs that are either A2 or A3.

Sorry, but the tool I have doesn't use team names. I need to know the UserName that you'd like information from, not the TeamNumber.

Ok, there are several names:
Felix_Pasqualli
Godzilla
Porky
Meema

Each of those with the exception of Meema are multiple smp and/or gpu clients, all with the same passkey.

You just answered your own question. One donor should equal one passkey. Which donor name was the original passkey issued for?

[weedacres]

Well I got some bad advice then.
The passkey is tied to the team name.
At this point I have 15 clients on 6 physical pc's. All 6 are running smp with the remaing 9 soon to be 10 gpu clients.

What is my best course of action? Change the user name of all of them to weedacres or get a different passkey for each username?

Maybe this is a good time to redo my whole setup if there is a better way to organize it.

Either one will work, but if you use a single username and passkey, you'll qualify for the 10 WU minimum more quickly.

If that is the case, most folders should be getting the bonus on their first A3. I probably have in excess of 1,000 A2's under my passkey& still no indication of any bonus points

[weedacres]

OK,, thanks for your help!

Just to further complicate things , I had 6.24b client running for a year + without a passkey.
I stopped the client after a WU finished , got a passkey , dropped in the 6.29 client , did a configure and ran One A3 WU and got a bonus.
P6014 for 484 base points and received 1436 points for it. Go Figure.

[patonb]

Actually, I believe I did too. I have 1 a1 associated with my passkey.

My daily total did look normal, and i was expecting a lower value for my smp.

I turned it in around 20:00 27th, it was a 6013 and my name is patonb if you want to check

OK, so if I understand this correctly, the rule is this:

At least 10 A2 WU's returned inside the deadline with:

a) The same passkey
b) The same userid
c) The same team number

I'm pretty sure this is the case because I know for a fact I've turned in > 100 A2 WU's with my current passkey, yet I'm not getting any bonus credit. However, I recently started using a new name/team. I believe the criteria is what I described above. It it NOT just your passkey, it is the combination of all 3 listed above. If anyone can confirm, that would be great, but the fact I'm sending in WU's and not getting bonus seems to substantiate my theory.

[bruce]

AFAIK it's two things, not three. The team number shouldn't matter, but the passkey & username do.

OK, good to hear. With any luck, I only have another 2 or 3 WU's to go then before I reach the 10 mark under the latest username.

I can see a 6014 turned in around noon yesterday (Stanford time). I don't see a 6013 but that's understandable if the same client has submitted another result since then. I have no way of knowing if a passkey was used or not. I can tell that you're not getting bonuses yet.

[patonb]

You're correct on the 6014, I made a mistake... And no bonus was expected... Guess I had a better day than I expected.

Thanks

A direct request this time, could a mod check on this one. Just finished a A3 . And the local count shows over 400 completed for this client alone.
if , in-fact no bonus is being applied. could it please be passed up to someone with higher access. to determine why?
