Welcome to FoldCo! We are here to serve all of your folding needs! Unless you are on another team. In that case, we are here to make your folding life more difficult (in a fun way, of course).
 
Benefits of being part of the FoldCo team includes:

The following is a quick sig I made for the team. If you or someone you know can make a better sig, or you want a customized one, please let me know.
 

 
I am sort of the new guy running the new team of people who did not participate in last year's contest. But none of that matters as long as we fold hard. Enjoy your time on the team, and feel free to bring up any issues you may have with folding, the team or the contest.

    I do have one question, what is a failed work unit, and how can one tell if they failed a WU?

    A failed work unit is simply a work unit that failed and was sent back incomplete. This can be due to a crash, unstable hardware or a bad work unit. They don't happen very often if you have everything stable.
     
    It can be hard to catch individual fails, as most people do not read the log all that often and your client will just grab another unit and fold on. If it fails enough work units in a row, I believe the client will shut down. I have never had it do this. The only time I have caught individual failed work units is when my update on EOC reports having a work unit but no points.

    Ok, the reason I ask this is that I suspect I might be failing WU, on the full time folder, as I rarely check on it and get "driver stopped responding... etc." errors on it when I check on it. Hopefully I've fixed it this time, as I've uninstalled the drivers, swept them, then re-installed, also nothing is overclocked and temps are acceptable.

    If it is a "bad WU" (one that has problems itself), make sure that you are not re-downloading that same WU every time it fails.  Look at the Project # (Run/Clone/Gen) and make sure you are working on a different WU, because FAH has a tendency to re-present the same WU when there has been a failure.

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the system and if things don't seem to be fixed I'll work on it some more.
     
    Anyway, where is the office kitchen? I need to set up the Keurig Coffee maker. Also I need to put my lunch in fridge, that is clearly labeled "z999z3mystorys' lunch" with a bright red marker.

    Not a bad place, this.  Could do worse for a camp than to use a nice office building.  Though, I feel it's missing something.  Fire.  Lots of fire is missing.  If no one minds, I'll just be wandering around here, placing thermite and reloading my flare gun.

    On a different note, I have decided to be in personal competition with you, z999z, for the duration of the contest. We have close ppd, so I am going to fight for team 2nd

    Looks like the points formula just kicked in. The good news is it seems to have shot us up to 2nd place. The bad news is it lessens the challenge I gave myself of fighting for 2nd place on the team. 
     
    Despite not getting full points, it is still best for everyone to fold as hard as you can, even if you are well over your estimate. Every point you produce increases the odds of your team placing higher. It helps you be more future proof from outages and other unexpected problems, as it will average out. The formula also increases the more the entire contest overproduces. Overproducing benefits everyone and doesn't hurt anyone.
     
    Just wanted to get this out there before people start shutting anything down. Fold on!

    I'm still in second place, the formula wasn't (and may still not be) applied to everyone.

    Just reporting in, late again
     
    I've managed to to get" a 570 to range alongside my 670 and cpu, so I should hit or exceed my target
     
    good news  finished, whilst I was picking up the 570 my grandson decided to install some rubbish on my machine, and its taken a while to resolve it, the easy bit was to hang the grandson, harder to find and remove all the stuff he allowed in - its the last time i'll leave my profile on when he is here  :)
     
    Within 24 hours my ppd should be back where I need them

    My dog used to chase his fluffy tail, then chew on it a bit when he caught it... om nom nom nom. Stopped doing that past the puppy stage however if I remember correctly.
     
    I haven't seen horvat post here yet however, hope he does and help spurs the others on.
