Scarlet.........did you get any conformation when you hit “submit”?
 
Thanks for all the awesome prize donations.

Yes, it showed that my preferences had been submitted or something along those lines. Nothing else though.

Apologies for the generosity of the community STR1DER_2:
 
26 prizes willing to be shipped to those in the U.S.
20 for Canada
14 Worldwide

are the 14 worldwide part of the 26 in the US?
 
also can you confirm i made picks? 

Yes, unless the U.S. is no longer part of the world it is included in worldwide.  There are  few prizes that specifically exclude the U.S., so not all 14 are included in U.S.
 
Yes, you have picked 13 prizes you would like to win.

i think i know some geography but not all that much, LOL. I just wanted to make sure it is crossing over properly. I shouldn't question it though since the powers that be always make sure its correct.
 
i am pretty sure i know what everyone's #1 pick is, so good luck to all.

I made one minor change in my flags.  I set the next-unit-percentage to 99 instead of 100.  I noticed that the new work unit would sit for 10-15 seconds waiting to download after the old unit had already sent, making for a 30 - 40 second pause with no work produced at all.  Now the newest work unit finishes downloading as the old unit is completing, and the old unit can send in its own time instead of having a 30 second pause without work being produced.

Thanks for the correction

You have been crazy busy keeping us updated, thank you for that :-).

the reason for NUP to be set at 100 rather than 98(which is default) or 99%
points are awarded based on Time to finish(established from time it was allocated by server to you) - so if you take a little bit longer you get less points
 
downloading a wu early starts the timer the moment you DL(because collection Server calculates your bonus based on when it assigned it to you by assignment server- not when your computer started it) -
so the WU has to wait a fews secs or mins to start - because its waiting for the other to finish and send...this causes some loss of points
 
downloading while your rig is busy may also delay the current WU from completing earlier (slowing it down) because the computer resources will be tied up to that(cpu cores- mem)
and you definitely cant send while downloading either - so if you are Downloading early and you complete - your send will wait till after the new wu is DL'd and then it sends(lowering points) - ive seen it
and the new WU can't start until after it sends (lowing points there - remember timer starts from DL - not from when you start WU)
 
your F@H client only gives you an estimate on your bonus based on the timing it runs on your computer - that is not your true calculated bonus
 
it also the reason you lose points if the collection server is down and you fail to send - -value goes down because it didn't receive it earlier...... you can lose all your bonus this way if you don't send it early enough
I remember the days we scrambled sometimes to get Wu's in manually (the ancient client) and bee itch to Folding forums about the collection server

Down 1 rig ahhhh!! Came in the door and it was completely powered off. I hit the power button and it comes on for a brief second and powers right off again. Hopefully I can get it back online soon enough, thats 2.8-3.5 mil ppd from my gaming rig.
                                                                               

Bummer
sounds like power supply...

Dug out another psu but don't have the time to mess with it. Got a load of living room furniture dropped off today and have been rearranging it all time and time again with my wife directing. I swear, I am going to wear a hole through the floor tonight.

Aww
Need anyone to call you.... so you can go work on it?

Thanks to everyone who donated folding power, brain power and especially prizes!

Well, she was satisfied with the last arrangement in the living room so I bounced downstairs and swapped the PSU. Nope. Hit the power button numerous times while unplugging items with each flip. Getting to the point where it's looking like the mobo or cpu. grrr.
 May have to toss an x58 build together as I still have a couple of them on hand.

Sounds like you were busy trying to earn some bonus points towards your next PC purchase
 
My motto when it comes to moving furniture:  I only move it twice, so choose wisely, the second placement is the final placement

Dang project 13437 is big over 6 hours per . Funny thing is says over a mil. ppd . Could turn my little 980ti into a sandbagger 2 days left give all you got Pacific 

Cool GTX

Especially those Master Sandbaggers in Mountain - PPD for that time Zone @ 53% above estimated PPD
 
 

And here I am underperforming. Haha.
Had to do some Wreckfest with the boys last night, lol. And my system is over 50% of my total output.

I would have tossed 3 more GPU (2 are new ... not 30 series ) on the TZC - but it would not have helped much - to close the size of the PPD gap currently ~ 32 Million
 
besides my 7 GPU over 3 Rigs are pulling 2.4 KW 24/7 already ... not sure I want to pay for another 900 watts of PPD
