Folding Forum

I noticed a while back that someone is folding using my name. Didn't think much of it as a friend of mine did fold a few units for me way back when. Last time I spoke with him though he'd stopped long ago.
Today though I notice there have been 5 units show up for 560 points which may be fine and may not be.

I have 2xSMP A3 and a GPU2 running here under a passkey. These are all working fine although HFM.net is reporting a failed unit even though my logs show nothing wrong.

I haven't included my passkey because no one has been given that info.

Can someone check whether I have any recent EUE's against my name please?

If one of your SMP clients recently got it's first a3 WU and had to download the new core then HFM will record that as a fail since there is an error code when the needed core is missing or corrupt. I've had that happen and there was no EUE.

If you want to check the WUs exclisivly done by you, use your passkey/username to search on the official stats link. Do note that some GPU WUs (Nvidia is there but I am not sure of ATI) will not be registered with the passkey/username combination but only with your username.

Cheers for the confirm Bollix. It did happen when the core updated.

I've done the search under the stats page already Panther. Unless I'm missing something there is no way to see individual units completed nor specific unit p numbers anymore. All I can get from the stats is number of units completed. I would like to know whether any units returned today/yesterday have been EUE's.

Edit; I know I have 3 clients and the stats show 7 active so there are 4 out there I have no control over.

Plausible but if you have been installing new Clients or changing the Machine ID, then the Number of Clients, in some cases, will go up. My search reveals that I had 6 Active Clients over 50 days and 2 Clients over 7 days. I know that nobody is folding under my name as my stats are exactly what I have folded.

I've already taken all that into account. I have only started up an SMP in the last week. I've not changed anything else. I know there are clients in the wild adding point to my tally because I've seen the points updates. The smallest points totals I add are GPU2 ones, 384 being the smallest. The 560 points added today from 5 units suggest to me it is a standard client (6.23 or 6.29 combined on Linux running uni cpu) which I do not run here.

560 is a non-bonus smp isn't it?

HFM can only report data from the client that you've configured it to look at. If someone else is folding in your name, iHFM knows nothing about it. If HFM is counting failures that don't exist in FAHlog, then it's a bug in HFM -- though I have not seen it doing that on my machines.

The most recent WU from each of your clients was not an EUE. Moreover they appear to all belong to you. I don't see the entire IP address but it's likely that they are in the same range, from XX.XX.XX.171 through XX.XX.XX.178

No, it's not. The 560 I refer to was the accumulative points from 5 units submitted, as I stated above.


Thanks for checking Bruce. Way back when the stats page displayed the units and amount of those units we'd folded I could sometimes cross correlate between the points added and the amount of units there and deduce whether it was an eue or not. I'll just assume my mate is folding again for me and everything is A ok. It's hard to get in touch with him since he moved out of the country. I don't suppose you can tell where the results are coming from? I'm in the UK, if it's him it should be Dubai.

I don't see any description of your hardware. From what I see I suspect you have AMD CPUs, an ATI GPU and the last octet of your IP address is 175. If that's the case, someone is submitting WUs to your username from a Mac computer. He's getting some small WUs.

Hi T_L_H (team 34106),
Your WU (P2972 R17 C45 G8) was added to the stats database on 2010-05-31 08:04:34 for 80.7 points of credit.

Ah perfect. That's just what I needed CO, thanks m8. You are correct in your assumptions about my hardware and the Mac also. Cheers.
