Points payout incredibly low
Hey all, started folding a few days ago. I made the mistake of not registering a PassKey initially, and that was I thought would be the issue to my low points payout. That ended up not being the case here, so I reinstalled the client and created a new account but it still doesn't seem to be working. For example, my last WU was supposed to give out about 150k~ points, and it only paid out 7k. I've got another unit lined up here that should finish soon that should give out 190k points, but unsure what it'll actually do. Any heads up?

You get only the base points until you have folded 10 work units. After that you are in bonus heaven.
Re: Points payout incredibly low
Just to be clear for the quick return bonus, that is the high payout you see it requires 10 work units with at least 80% success rate, this should be easy just checking my GPU I see I have completed the last 98 workunits without a failure for an reason. The calculator you see with the high numbers assumes you have qualified already. Just stick with it for the first 10 (or so) and the numbers will be real.jo___l wrote:You get only the base points until you have folded 10 work units. After that you are in bonus heaven.

How to tell if I'm getting bonus points?
https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu if I search for my user name and see "Got Bonus" = 1 - I presume that means I got the bonus points on that CPU, correct?

Correct. It sounds like there's a server that hasn't been giving out bonus points properly, this will eventually be taken care of when they have time and missing credits will show up. Right now they are rather busy with new servers and projects.

Re: Points payout incredibly low
So if I have 102 WU completed, and "Got Bonus" is still set to zero, is that a bug? Or is there a part of the equation I'm not understanding?

Is it possibly tied to the fact that my rank is still listed as "N/A"? Also, I cannot search for my donor record directly - I have to search for my team, then click on my name under the team listing.

Re: Points payout incredibly low
Just checking … You have got a passkey installed … https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/ … "What are the qualifications for the QRB? The bonus is applied for users who use a passkey, have successfully returned at least 10 bonus-eligible WUs, have successfully returned 80% or more of assigned WUs, and returned the unit before its Timeout (formerly Preferred Deadline). Bonus points do not apply to partial returns."
