Folding Forum

Hey! So i started folding again after a lot of years, but my computer has been folding and i haven't gotten the points it says i'm supposed to get.

I've completed 7 'Work Units' and the total amount of PPD it says i should've gotten adds up to ~10 million points, but i only have ~700k points more than when i started. Can someone help me understand the way points work? Maybe i am just stupid and don't understand what's going on, but i really want to understand the way this works so i can calculate how far away i am from the amount of points i need to get some items in a video game. I hope someone can help me. Thank you in advance!

PS. Sorry for grammar mistakes, i don't write in English that often. Also, i don't know how to add an image to my post.

You should have a passkey for bonus PPD.
If you just started, you need to complete 10 WUs successfully with that passkey entered for Bonus scheme to kick in.
Client assumes to have bonus enabled, stats show real values

First, are you using the v7 F@h client or the current v8 client? An estimated points shows up in the v7 log, it is based on the presence of a passkey, but it does not check to see if that passkey is qualified for the bonus points.

The bonus is based on a username and passkey pair. To qualify for the bonus each pair needs to complete and return 10 WUs before their timeout period. In addition the completion rate has to remain above 80% of the number of WUs assigned to that username and passkey pair. You only get base points otherwise.

So if you got a new passkey instead of using your original one you will need to complete 10 WUs before getting bonus points again.
