Not that hard. Just set your configs so you only get 600pt WUs.

Just finished my first WU! I didn't see any score posted when I checked User Stats, though. How long does it take to see a score posted?

3-12hrs.

you can't that's only luck of the draw.

in the console config you can edit some things...

-config
Allows users to change their configuration information. This includes user & team names (reflected in the stats), whether or not to ask before a network connection is made to fetch/send work, set up proxy servers, preferred work unit type (Folding/Genome), process priority, CPU usage requested (5-100%), whether or not to use assembly loops, whether or not to use deadline information, and Machine ID changes.

So you can edit what type of WU you like.

-advmethods
Request to be assigned any new Cores or work units.

This will give you the new WU's, so if a bunch of big WU's just came out this is a way to try and get them. You need to use this flag to get the double point BigWUs.

Where do you specify Folding or Genome? I couldn't figure that one out on some of of my Athlon based machines. Trying to get them to use Gromacs Cores instead of the Amber cores.

Alright boys, I'm comin for ya.

I can't actually enter the contest but thought I'd see if I could keep up with big dogs on the team and help take down Bit-Tech. Currently folding one client each on 3 dual core machines and another machine with X1900 GPU client (GPU just started working at 7am). I'm expecting about a 2,200 point day.

no sure, but nightblood has been an old gaming buddy and forum member for years.

cav has said he is going to.
Jeff Grant I believe works with or for Patrick so I would assume so. And they said they are staying around, but not all the computers they have folding for the contest are, but still they are. I believe it was the servers they are foldning on they will stop when the contest is over.

cadaveca · Post by **cadaveca** » Fri Oct 20, 2006 4:52 pm

Well, I myself will be adding more machines once the contest is over. But if you guys want me to drop out, LMK...I can understand.

Patrick Works for me, acctually we are partners who own Excalibur Systems Inc., We will be sticking around, I myself will still be keeping 4-5 folding for LR and another 4-5 folding for Excalibur Sytems.

We had no intentions on joining the contest then leaving afterwards, we have enough to be able to split up so we can still fold for LR.
