Folding Forum

Update:
Joseph said the dots in name is supported on
https://alpha.foldingathome.org/

So others shouldn't need the linking workaround above.

Please try (macOS only): Edit config.xml to have your desired machine display name. sudo /usr/bin/nano /Library/Application\ Support/FAHClient/config.xml The name can only have letters, numbers, underscore, dash. Example config.xml: <config> <machine-name v="MyMacMini"/> <account-token v=&...

I can tell you later how to link via python websockets module command line.

The first machine is direct connected, not necessarily linked to account.
"MacMini.local" needs to lose the ".local".

Because the PUT is failing, your local client is probably not registered with the account.
If you can see and edit the machine name in the accounts page, you can fix it and link.
The machine name cannot have any spaces or periods.

I see
Requesting WU assignment for user Anonymous team 0

There used to be a toggle for "Fold Anonymously", but it was removed.
I should probably look at the latest code.

8 cores should have been fine on your M2 Pro.

Did you previously have user and team set?
I believe the client is supposed to stay paused until configured.

Well, it looks like the PUT to api.foldingathome.org/machine is still failing.

There is another topic for this.

Sorry. Commands are in post
viewtopic.php?t=41197

Try reloading the web page.
If that fails, restart the client with commands I gave earlier.

A screenshot is probably sufficient.

Go to the bottom of

The machine you need to rename will be outlined red.
Fix the name, click the save icon next to it, then click the link icon.

Thanks for the report.

If you use “hostname” on the command line, do you get the .local suffix?

The machine name is outlined in red when it is not considered a valid name.
I think it can only be letters, numbers, dash, underscore.
