hmmm... being team captain and not signing up yet sends bad vibs

still waiting on parts

Now how does one put down an estimate PPD for unknown config of machines
although I know what I have now...that won't be the case soon

I hate delaying until I have numbers...
Im in the boat ...if I est to high I hurt the team...same if Im too low ...so I wait

if the new rig gets up - I'll have to stabilize the OC first so Im hoping to have it up next week - crosses fingers (part on back order) 

you'll know when it comes in because my PPD should increase rather abruptly

Will it damage what ever team we are on if we guess higher then he produce?  I mean I only predicted like 20k PPD which is outstandingly low compared to most participating so maybe it won't make much of a difference if say I produce like 10 - 20k? 

You will never lose contest points for producing more folding points.  In fact, you will always gain additional contest points for any additional folding production.  You may, however, not receive full contest points for folding points beyond a threshold (this threshold is determined by the relative performance of everyone else).

No

the team only loses points if you don't reach your said estimate, going over it just a bit won't hurt it.

It's a tricky system to be honest and could be hard to manage when the work unit PPD keeps changing. On my setups I seen anywhere from 75K to 125K depending on the combination of units I do, so best to set the etimate to your lowest PPD.

Now it's a mad rush to get the beast folding again.  Got the net back, and it's faster than before.

I gave a lowball PPD estimate to hold my place, just gotta see what I can manage with my one running system.  Gotta see if SMP is going to be good to me.

Excuse my stupidity.  M@Dness is different from Chimp Challenge?  How?  Is M@Dness within the EVGA community and Chimp between communities? 

I fold 24/7 on my listed rig but can add at least half-time 5 X58 rigs and a 3770 rig all with basic/cheap video cards.  I estimated 50-80000 PPD based on my listed rig.  I have no idea how I should change my estimate.
