Points not calculating properly

Post by nadya109 »

I just started folding recently. As of now, i have completed 9 WU, but my points are not getting credited as per the estimated point shown on UI. Can you please help me if there is something wrong? I use username_projectcode_passkey correctly as instructed and provided. thanks/

Welcome to the folding club!

The estimated points are taking the quick return bonus (QRB) into account. However, you are only eligible for that after return 10 WUs successfully, and using a passkey. That's to discourage people getting new ID's all the time. So you're doing fine, keep on folding :D

Yes, the quick return bonus doesn't kick in until 10 work units have been successfully completed and returned.
There's also the occasional hiccup with work/collection servers returning their results to the stats servers so give it a few more units to filter through and update with the bonus included.

It's also worth noting that the client calculates an estimate based on what it's doing and while it may be close to what the stats server reports it may not match it exactly.
Typically, I find the estimate for the returned work unit is within about 20 points of the points awarded by the work/collection servers.
The slot/client PPD is not so accurate as it can swing wildly with each project.

And when you finish that next work unit, you will probably be surprised at the points you can get for work units that process quickly. :e?:
Fold them if you get them!
