nickanme change same passkey?

Post by brainvision »

hi there guys,

it's great to see this project still alive! I used it in the past and then for different reasons I stopped folding; now that I have a second working PC I definitively want to start doing it again.
so I searched through my emails for an old passkey and I found it.. my question is: what if I would like to change nickname? will the old stats be addedd to the new nickname?

thanks a lot, see you ;)

No, points credits are never transferred to different users. Either use your old nick or start over with new name and passkey.

Or use a new name and keep on using the same passkey. If they enable the passkey only search again, then you would see points for all work done under that passkey no matter which name or team was used.

yea something like that.. keep my key and update name.. I also changed team because old one is not active at the moment but that shouldn't matter..
anyway, not a big deal.. if they'll enable the passkey search feature I'll consider changing nick..

another question, if you please: I read stats could require more than 24 hours to be updated, but from my side once I saw in the log lines like

Code: Select all

10:38:40:WU00:FS00:0xa7:Folding@home Core Shutdown: FINISHED_UNIT
10:38:40:WU00:FS00:FahCore returned: FINISHED_UNIT (100 = 0x64)
10:38:40:WU00:FS00:Sending unit results: id:00 state:SEND error:NO_ERROR project:13860 run:0 clone:13606 gen:20 core:0xa7 unit:0x000000160d5a98395e7311226237b94e
and

Code: Select all

10:39:17:WU00:FS00:Server responded WORK_ACK (400)
10:39:17:WU00:FS00:Final credit estimate, 2761.00 points
10:39:18:WU00:FS00:Cleaning up
I know I'm good and the work was correctly finished and uploaded, then someday stats will be updated..

EDIT:
so I downloaded the daily_user_summary.txt file and I noticed that my account is reported two times, both old group both new one, even if I did not fold for the old group since 2018.. anyway stats seems to be updated in the file and into my group reports, too.. so I guess it's ally only a atter of time before see m personal stats updated..
