  • Someone who earns <5 million PPD

 

All "Folding Time" prizes will require your username/passkey to be given to the donator, this will not give them any of your personal information, it just let's them be able to contribute full points to your username.  Passkeys need at least 10 full Work Units to start getting the full Quick Return Bonus.  Alternatively, you could setup another passkey for your Folding@Home username with a different email address and fold your first 10 units on that.  This would still put the points towards your username, but they would also be tracked by a different passkey.

 

Please note all winners must claim within 30 days from announcement of the winners.

Will it blow up ?

[Avacado]

Hit with the law. The perfectly working 5 tesla rig won't display video. Tried multiple cables. Different cards.  Nada. Goes through the start up fine.

WTF That is weird man.

[BWG]

Oh no! I'm sorry man. 

[Avacado]

Ok, Tinkered and fixed. A simple CMOS clear did the trick! Phew. No Idea what that was. MOBO was stuck on code AA, which is MOBO failing to initialize.
