No bonus despite having completed >10 WUs, what gives ?

Post by plieur@maison »

Hello,

According to statsclassic_foldingathome_org I have completed 885 WU.

However, when I checked apps_foldingathome_org/bonus with both my username and passkey, it appears that I don't receive any bonus (the page returns "Bonus Active : False").

The passkey is the same on both Web Control and Advanced Control (v7.6.21 on Windows).

Is it because I have too many failed WU (364 or 30%) ?
Do I need to have completed 10 WU in a row ?

Any pointer would be appreciated.

The requirements for receiving the bonus (QRB) is at least 10 WUs returned and to maintain at least an 80% return rate. Without that 80% return rate you do not get the bonus.

Oh so it appears that the return rate is the problem here.

Thank you for your help Joe :)

That is a massively high failure rate :shock: ... If you post logs of some of the failures we might be able to help you stop them.

The most important thing to wonder about is why you have such a high failure rate. Something is definitely wrong.
