Folding Forum

Hi.
I'm quite new to this. Or I did set this up a while ago, but when I got it up and running I've just left it by itself.
When checking my stats today I notice I have 53 135 482 points, 403WUs but nothing under "Credits". Why is that?
When checking the Bonus Stats it is like this:
WUs Finished: 403
WUs Expired: 8
% Finished: 98.05%
Bonus Active: True

I don't know if the bonus part has anything to do with the credits.
How do you actually get credits?

Are you speaking of the credits you see when you have the software open?

Credits vary project to project and are based on expected time to finish such a project. While you are folding it will show you estimated credits based on your computer's progress. If the system isn't folding credit will show zero.

The bonus status you see is due to being registered with a pass key. As long as your percentage of completed projects stays high enough you receive what is called a quick return bonus. That gives you points greater than the base credit as a reward for completing the work more quickly.

So in a nutshell credits are just expected points. If you were finishing the project faster than required that number is higher than the base credits as listed in the below link.

Thank you for the quick reply.
When opening the "Advanced Control" it says "Base Credit: 110000", "Estimated Credit: 487501". In the lower left corner it says "Total estimated points per day: Unknown".
The credit I originally was referring to was the one shown in the "donor"-list on F@H webpage.
If I go to https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor and look at the donors there they have both Credits and WUs listed, but when searching for my own username (Tarjei85) I only get the WUs

That view only shows Credits for a group of the top points earners, I am not certain where the cutoff is. It does show it for at least the top 1000. If you click on your username you will get the report for just your name "Earned 53,886,174 points by contributing 407 work units".

Oh. That explains it. Thank you
