Folding Forum

I am new to folding and wondering why I only received the base credit for this WU. The base credit was 1540 but the estimated credit in FAHControl was well over 5000. I'm not even sure about the credit I received for this WU, how do I verify?

Welcome to the folding support forum billcox0625!

Hi billcox0625 (team 32),
Your WU (P7611 R2 C46 G149) was added to the stats database on 2012-09-06 09:07:32 for 1540 points of credit.

Are you using a passkey?

If you are then you must complete 10 work units before the Quick Return Bonus engages.

According to your stats you've only completed 6, so 4 more after which you should start to see a bonus.

Remember, GPU work units do not count towards your bonus qualification at this time.

Do you have a passkey? To get bonus points, you need to complete 10 SMP WU's using that passkey and maintain at least 80% successful return.

Ok. So I will only receive the base credit for any SMP WUs I fold until I return 10 successfully? Then I will start receiving the estimated credit shown in the FAHControl?

Yes. I am using a passkey.

Yes to both questions with the exception that FAHControl does have a problem accurately estimating on some projects but you will receive a bonus, it just might not be exactly what's being displayed.

Also, there is currently a 10% bonus for a4 core projects on top of the QRB and that doesn't show up in the FAHControl display:

Ok, Cool. Thank you both.
