Hello EVGA forums.  I think this is my first post.  I fold on a team over at overclock.net, but I have a new 780 FTW in my gaming rig that I would like to fold on sometimes, and since I can't use it on my OCN team, I thought I give it a go here.
 
I set my client to team 111065 and I got a new passkey (which I know I will need to complete 10 WUs on).  Is there anything else I need to do to fold for EVGA?  What do you do to get the EVGA bucks?
 
Thank you.

Make sure that in your Member Home->My Profile page you've entered your folding name so you can earn Bucks.  It helps a lot if your folding name is the same as your EVGA account name, otherwise you'll have to PM a mod (EVGA_Rob, I believe) about it.  After that, check Community->Folding@EVGA->My Folding.  Once you've hit the 250k and 500k marks each month there'll be a button to request your Bucks.

Thank you Zagen. Can you use a passkey you've used before (but aren't currently using with another team)?
 
Also my EVGA account name is valkeriefire and my folding name is Valkeriefire, do you think the capital V makes any difference?

The Bucks program doesn't care which passkey you're using.  If that's a general question about passkeys, you can always re-use old passkeys.  The only issue with re-using them is that if you've changed your name you'll have to qualify the passkey with that name.
 
The capitalization might be an issue since folding names are case-sensitive, but I'm not sure.

thank you Texinga.
 
I tried to Pm Evga_Rob, but I can't since I don't have 10 posts yet. Can someone else Pm him and request he look at my questions regarding my profile name and my folding name being different by the letter being capitalized? 
 
thank you

I just sent a PM off to Rob for you and gave him the direct link to your question in this thread above.

OK, Rob has already answered me (what a guy)!  Here's a copy of his reply:
 
"Hi,
Thanks for checking for the new folder!  Capitalization differences will not cause any issue with the EVGA Bucks.  He is all set.
Thanks,
Rob"

Signed up for 2010..  Part of me thinks that I was folding long before that but the memory goes with old age :)
