    I'm gonna walk away from this one. You're asking too much for too little in return.

    Hi!
    I don't know if I could post this one here, create a new thread or email support.
    But for last month's EVGA bucks I received an extra 5. 
    Initially received 3 email messages, 1 for 750k and 2 for 1.5M each.
    When I checked how much I already have, I found that there is an extra 5 bucks added.
    Please advise
     
    Thanks!

    So what other Folding Team will you Join that will pay you Bucks like EVGA while you are helping to find a Cure?
    The Cure is why we Fold not the Bucks.

    I can understand both sides Bcav. Some folders do not fold 24/7, which is very understandable.
    I am VERY curious where the "user feedback" came from, Rob? There was some discussion from last year about the threasholds, but none I remember recently.

    I will fold for a team that appreciates whatever I can contribute without making demands of my output by trying to dangle a carrot from a stick to motivate me.

    Your team appreciates all that you do, we do not demand anything from you.

    No one has ever demanded anything. EVGA offers more incentives than any other team. EVGA bucks for folding, for helpful posts, for milestones... they are not dangling a carrot to motivate you, and if you feel they are, you may be looking st the incentive the wrong way. No team has to provide anything, but EVGA even provided fantastic prizes this last event we held.

    I upgrade my hardware because it folds faster and completes more work units. A single 970 can meet the 3m goal in 10 to 15 days if left alone.

    I understand some can not run their systems 24/7, but imagine that the requirement had been boosted before maxwell, when the top card produced the same ppd and also burned more energy.

    The incentive is supposed to be to upgrade, not to get money for personal gain.

    Bjorn3d is the only other team that I would fold for as they have shown appreciation and done things for their crowd ovcasionally.

    I would have to Fold for 5 years to upgrade to a video board that meets my standards. The 1.5 million 10 EVGA buck reward helped offset my electric bill. Now you're asking me to go into the hole while my wallet and savings gets siphoned by my power company. The only thing I've upgraded was my wardrobe with EVGA T-shirts. I got a better way to get my equipment upgraded, shut it off and save the electricity that running a video board to Fold burns up.

    Again, I don't fold for the bucks. I usually use my bucks to help others. Kind of like folding.. I don't have cancer or any other diseases that were fold for, but it could possibly help someone else, so why not.

    I have upgraded 2 motherboard, 5 sli bridges, a few mice, and only once have I ever used any of my bucks on myself. Every buck went toward someone else.

    The once I used the bucks on myself is because one of our folder and I couldn't upgrade another member, so I used my bucks on me, and my cash on them.

    I have to ask you one more question about Folding, why did you even start Folding to begin with?

    Hi,
     
    Yes, there was a glitch in our system that doubled up a few of you.  I will be removing the extra bucks shortly and if you where affected, you will receive an email letting you know.  I appreciate the heads up!
     
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Way to go Team EVGA!
    Here is hoping we go for 10!
     
    Personally I fold because I had a family member diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and once I found out I could help, even a little bit, to research cures or otherwise for other families I was on board.
    The bucks are a nice perk, and admittedly, that is about all I put out in a month other than the occasional contest that I participate in.

    If I could afford one more monster GPU for this current rendition of a PC, I would.. I am saving to purchase a car or home instead. Too many decisions.

    Like I said, want is being toppled by life needs right now. I want to upgrade, I need to consider a bigger future.

    EVGA Bucks do not expire.  I was just referring to submitting your points for bucks. 
     
    Thanks,

    Thanks EVGA for your continuing support!
    We really do have an amazing community here.
     
    Points increase means I'll have to up my game this year...aaaand of course the influx of complainers.
     
    I'll just reiterate:  If you are folding for a return other than the satisfaction of helping out, you are doing it wrong.
    I mean, we have a whole Crunching team in the forum next door and there are no bucks involved, just sayin'.

    Thanks for the incentive to fold because i couldnt do as much without it. I have to watch my electricity bill as a student but i will still continue to make my 1.5 million points with my gtx 960.

    Thank you very much EVGA. This incentive is very nice and much appreciated. It only makes sense that the point limits would rise with more powerful and efficient hardware being released every cycle. I think most forum members families, and mine too, have been touched by the illnesses that Stanford seeks answers for. I fold to be a part of the cure process but if EVGA wants to add incentives, I will accept them. It's a very generous thing they do for us folders.

    Thank you for continuing the program.  I will commit as much as I can, and it's obvious I will need to get a faster card to replace my 970!  Need a good sale on those refurbs EVGA haha :P
