Nice to here from you I missed the applesauce avatar

Hey everyone!
 
I just signed up for the chimp challenge.  I currently use a passkey for my folding already. would i have to change it? because on the sign up it says ill have to reprime it (what does that mean?).  Also the EOC id is a number right so if my usernames for folding is giadartis then my id is 549775 right? 
 
I just want to make sure i signed up correctly thanks!
 
 

EVGApes will already be primed all you have to do is enter passkey and fold away!!!!

um!... you have to change username to EVGApes regardless
the passkey is for those running bigadv so you can collect to bonus points for the Apes
 
if your personal passkey is not primed for EVGApes then you need to fold 10 wu in smp  (or you get one sent to you that is already primed)
 
as for your points going to the team...yes you are correct
you still use 111065 (evga) as your folding team
 
you just don't get them for your personal points while folding for EVGApes

Ok!... I know how you feel being a noob at this... Everyone once was
What I meant was you might as well do regular CPU/uniprocessor wu's (since you won't get bonus points and they would go quicker)... until it was primed (10 wu's)
thats only if your are doing Bigadv
 
if you have to reprime your passkey for the EVGApes...it would be the best
 
best course is to get a primed passkey

Client Type?
After operating system, the installation guide documents are organized by client type:
* CPU Uniprocessor clients (single CPU/core, i.e. classic, Console, CLI, or Systray, etc.)
* SMP clients (multiple CPU/cores, i.e. duals, quads, etc.)
* GPU clients (AMD and nVidia, both Console and Systray)

If you need further help feel free to ask more questions

My new EVGA GTX560ti SC DS card will be coming in soon!! (with rebate only $219 !!) =2-3x more folding capabilities!!??
 
I just ran my computer folding overnight for EVGApes with the pass key code given but i do not see any stats changes here http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=549775 is it because it has not updated?
 
PS. When does the Chimps challenge finish?
 
Thanks

I just looked at my stats here http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_list.php?s=&t=111065&p=27  and they are still showing up. 
 
Under the folding config settings i have the settings for Username as EVGApes
evga team tag
and the unique pass key..
 
I just want to make sure that i am contributing my folding to the team because idk if i am atm.

I just want to make sure that i am contributing my folding to the team because idk if i am atm.

If anyone else wants to be doubly sure the points are being recorded correctly.

1) Change your user name, team, and pass key for SMP work units. Do not use nopepad.exe to edit the file.
2) Shut down and restart the client to load the new configuration file
3) Look at the first few lines of the log file which should look something like this:

Cheers, hope this helps

God we are all so leet...
 
That is all.

EVGA FTW!!!!!!
thats just my 2cents.. <3

You should set tracker to one unit on each client then change the user & passkey
after it completes the WU

Nereus

 
In FAH GPU Tracker V2, if I just click

    client > smp > delete WU  (and same for each of my GPU's)

and then change my name & passkey for the challenge, starting all clients at that point will ensure everything goes to the EVGApes, correct? My smp is only 10% complete and is under my own username, so thought this would solve the problem.. correct?

PLEASE do not delete wu's to change your username and such.
From the maker of tracker himself:
 
 Just a note about how the Tracker works:
 
Since name/team/passkey settings only matter when downloading a new WU the Tracker doesn't apply any changes to these settings until a new WU is started. It would also be 100% useless to change the configs of running clients because they will just overwrite any changes when they exit. (clients save current settings to client.cfg on exit unconditionally) 
 
Restarting the Tracker and/or clients is not necessary, since the setting will take effect for the next WU anyway.
 
Hope this answered your question nereus!

 
 Thanks MFlanaga!
