• If you´re already folding for team EVGA, all you have to do is change your username to EVGApes before the contest starts on May 5th.  If you´re also folding smp/bigadv WUs, see the further info below.

• If you´re already folding, but for a different team and want to help us (thank you, very much appreciated), change your username to EVGApes and team number to 111065 before the contests starts on May 5th.

• If you are new to folding, we extend a warm welcome to you!!  The fastest and easiest way to get folding is Jedi95´s gpu tracker. Have a look in here and use EVGApes as username and 111065 as team number.  If you have any questions or issues do no hesitate to ask.  You'll find everyone here quite friendly and eager to help get you up and running!

• Do not worry about points lost for EVGA's Folding Bucks Promotion - Shane's got you covered.  For more information see "EVGA Bucks Promotion Amnesty" at the end of this thread.

• In order to qualify for the prize drawing you must be officially registered (more info on prizes forthcoming).
• You can view who has signed up already here.

• You can find more information on winning or donating prizes here
• You can view a list of prizes already donated here (donations began 4/18/11)

• To get the bonus points for your smp clients (regular and bigadv), you´ll need a passkey. You can either use your own (but have to qualify it again for EVGApes) or one of our pre-primed, so that you get bonus points right away. Everybody that still has one from last years Chimp Challenge, you´re good to go, those are still good.

• Please contact one of the following persons to get your copy of the passkey:

I will be folding @100%, Just may not see to much of me

I have a few new surprises in store also!

Just to clarify, the team can provide pre-primed passkeys so that I can begin turning out bonus qualifying bigadv's from day 1?

Would I be better using a teams passkey or should I switch and set one up this week to grind out 10 wu's so that it is ready for the 5th? 

I just want to make sure I don't cost the team any potential points by messing this up.

With some help from Troy this afternoon, as I understand it now the main reason you would want to use your own Passkey is if you are doing SMPs/Bigadvs with bonus points and you wanted to track your own contributions to the EVGApes during the Chimp Challenge.  If you use the pre-primed keys (which is the simplest method) your points go into the collective EVGApes pool under that pre-primed Passkey. 

On the other hand, if you want to be aware of your individual contributions to the challenge, then a self-primed situation using the EVGApes UserID and your own Passkey is the way to go.  If you have a stable Folding environment and a fairly powerful rig, priming 10 WUs can be done in just a couple of days.  The priming effort still get's Stanford's Folding work done, so nothing is lost in that regard.  So, all you really lose are the value of those primed 10 WUs that go into the EVGApes bucket, and you gain the ability to monitor your individual contributions to CC via your own Passkey.

I think I have that rightly understood and if not, someone will correct me I'm sure...
