It will be since no work units. If we can't get more than 30K an hour it will stay that way.

I'm over 243 Million this month ... Might be time to give my electric bill a Rest & Shut down 1/2 of my Rigs ... maybe all of them for a couple of Days FaH needs to Get serious about GPU Folding .... Can only guess all the New Members  are business Servers & need all the CPU work ?

Every rig deserves a nap! Do you care about your world rank?
Currently @#24 in the World [Extreme site] looks like I could possibly move up 2 - 3 more spots - before getting passed by some of the big hitters that are starting to catch me I care about the WU  The whole reason I Fold has nothing to do about my Position on the Charts, that is just a cherry on top So, what I do not like is a Rig consuming up to 200 Watts & just sitting there with no work .... even when FaH server stats say there is WU to be give

Well, there are a lot of low hanging fruit in the github fah-issues tracker.
## v7.6.8
- Remove bug submission dialog, point to GitHub instead
- Use PUT instead of GET to access web session ID. Probably more secure.
## v7.6.7
- Make sure Web control gets opened when requested.
## v7.6.6
- Fix ``slot-options`` command response header
## v7.6.5
- Always allow 127.0.0.1 access to web server.
- Update GPUs.txt even if GPUs are not currently enabled.
- Instead of altering data dir in Windows, confirm removal.
- Remove unsupported windows themes on install.

I see they officially release 7.6.9 but see there is already a 7.6.10 beta. How do I find what changes were made for the new beta?
Thanks

Thanks for the changelog!
I just updated my 3 rigs to 7.6.9
Process I used was: (Windows 10)
Paused the WU
Shutdown [link=mailto:F@H]F@H[/link]
Installed the new version over it
Restarted the computers to do updates
Fired up [link=mailto:F@H]F@H[/link] and the work units picked up right where they left off! (I was under impression it would discard the workunit, guess I was wrong)

Yeah. I kept my data folder and upgraded to 7.6.9.
Working great. I've had constant WUs all day so far. Could the client be helping or just luck?

I think they have been fixing many small bugs along the way to the Covid-19 (SAR-COV2) preference.
The fah-issues is getting a lot more love lately and there is talk of opening up more of the client programming.
Here is a quote from the folding blog by Dr. Bowman
Looking towards the future, we are also working on a new Open-Source Folding@home software. This new software will improve the performance of Folding@home and make it easier to get the community involved in its development. By tapping into the massive amount of technical talent available in the Folding@home community, we believe we can produce better software with a more engaging and productive user experience and update that software more often. More information about the availability of this new software will soon be announced on this blog.
-
They have also been updating Server versions as well. Comments in the GitHub page suggest a move to round-robin collection/work servers with failed upload/download attempts.
But just looking at the Server status page they have sever WS server versions from 9.5.2 up to 9.6.8
I remain quite hopeful of progress.

Nice to see this fixed. I had a clean install of 7.6.8 refuse to start with any GPU slots configured until I realized it wasn't grabbing GPUs.txt. 7.6.10 is working great for me so far.

I'm over 243 Million this month ... Might be time to give my electric bill a Rest & Shut down 1/2 of my Rigs ... maybe all of them for a couple of Days
FaH needs to Get serious about GPU Folding ....
Can only guess all the New Members are business Servers & need all the CPU work ?
I bet a lot of them bought either threadrippers or Ryzen 9s. I am running 2x Ryzen 9 3900x and 3950x, and the work 2 of these CPUs do, is about as much as 40-50 older dual core laptops.

What kind of PPD are your 3900x and 3950x getting? Thanks

That's a much more sensible default than 6 hours!
