How come only one person is listed as a team member on the priuschat fah link? I added myself, or so I thought. Did I do something wrong when I installed the program?

I takes a little time to get through the system, basic flow is 1) you download, configure, and run, 2) some time later (a day or 2 or 5) your machine finishes the assignment and sends the results back to the FAH website (assuming you are connected to the net) and receives it's next assignment, 3) a few hours later your workunit and score start showing up in the stats. Your name does not show up until you've actually completed some work. On some of the stat sites (e.g. fahstats) your name disappears if you have not done work in awhile.

On that note, geologyrox completed a unit overnight, and she's now on the list. We're getting some traction...

I'm still waiting for wildkow to donate a workunit...


The priusonline team has yet to post *any* results.

Ok here are some new stats for the folding team but first a caution; Don’t edit your config.cfg file with a text or word processor program. It is a binary file now and should not be edited with a text editor. If anyone has joined a team and is wondering why their points are not being tallied that is most probably the reason. If you are still having problems post a message or pm me and I will try and help. Blast! I put two machines too folding and they have been posting points to team “anonymous “ grrrrrr. Second with over 16,000 members on PC and almost 8,000 on POL I am a bit disappointed that so far all we have is 5 from PC and 2 from POL. Surely we have some other members out there with a bit of a competitive spirit that would like to assist the cause of science? I see a lot of posts out there commenting on the present administrations policy towards this type of research. Some of them not very nice yet I don't see their names on the list yet.

BaHaHaHaHahahaha I kill myself. [attachmentid=5494]

In windows, go to the command line in that directory, type FAH502-Console -configonly to change your config settings (or whatever version of software you are using). You should also use the -local option if you have a dual-core processor and have already configured both cores to run the folding routines. Follow the prompts to change your settings. If you are running the screen-saver version, just right click in the window or tray icon to change your settings, very easy.

We have had some new folks join this week, GeologyRox blew past me in the middle of the week. She has 3 processors cranking on this. Renokat and Kalkas have joined in this week.

Danny has also joined, maybe he has the priuschat servers working on this? Was hoping that the other moderators would sign up as well!

Team PriusChat is nearing the top 10,000 teams after folding for just a week. I'm thinking we can catch team Wildkow in 1500th place by the end of the year!

I joined and I think it is pretty cool! I love watching how close to completing a work unit I am (I need a life )

My first career was a nurse for 20 years then I went back to school and earned a degree in computer technology and networking...FAH is combining both of my interest into something useful.

I probably won't have any huge number of units completed...My lap top is on all day at work and most the night at home.

Thanks for bringing the project to our attention!

If you think that is cool and you are using the console and not the screensaver version check this out. . .

That looks cool...when I starting folding I downloaded the windows graphical version. Can I switch to the console version? Do I need to uninstall the graphical version first? Will I lose the WU's I have finished so far?

You can switch. Uninstall the current version. You will lose all work on the current unit, so don't switch when you are 90% done with current unit. You will not lose credit for the workunits sent to the main servers. I switched primarily to take advantage of dual core processors, and you need command line version to do that.

Yeah, some run for a day and you get 100 or so points, I just posted one today that ran for *days* and we received 535 points for it. They are running different folding projects, sort of random which ones you get.

Go Team PriusChat!
