Sharky Forums Folding Team

yeah, i just joined to tinker party too guys. Looks like it'll be fun. :rolleyes: . Are the folding people ever gonna change their values so that tinkers are actually worth the time it takes to fold them?:confused:

I get a few tinkers on my machines every now and again, but I usually get a high point WU directly afterwards...

Just added another P4 2.8C @ 3.3 to my arsenal.:)

good man vertices - maybe you can take away the Tinker streak that I am on.;)

I think that is just plain impressive. To be "behind" in production by 100 points a day makes me laugh every time I read it. I don't think I average but about 60pts a day, and lately I have been folding 24/7 with my barton o/c'ed to 2.2Ghz. I guess it isn't likely that my rig would compete with some of the higher clocked P4 C's.

I guess the best way to help with increasing my contributions would be to find more machines to fold. I have been working on getting a better hsf for my rig at home so that I can let it fold 24/7. I will also be throwing together a rig for my gf in about 2 weeks. That one can fold a little. I will turn her old machine into a folder, but it is only a pIII 733mhz or so. Every little bit helps though.

Oh well, back to studying for me. The MCAT is only a week away!!

What happened to RealBeast?!? I saw I was the highest producer on the team and realized that's because RealBeast is at 0 per day. What happened man?!?!?

He is still folding. Looks like he moved over to EOC. I guess Skarky's is dieing? No leader, No forum and most of the regulars gone.

Edit dcgorn = Gorn, I can't get my old login to work.

Damn.

We need to get some motivation back into the team...

Damn this sucks. Well I'm not going anywhere guys. I'm sticking with it and the team!! Lets get some more team action going!!:):)

Let's ask a mod to put on another contest. :D

I have a AMD 2.25 and a Intel 2.4 folding 24/7 since early last week I add a another 2 more 2.4's I also have 2 friends that help be out with 2-3 rigs each. Thats a total of 9 rigs running this weekend. theabove shows only 2 rigs. His 2 rigs turned in 7 WU's for 172 points today. While my 9 rigs turned in only 5 WU's for 156 points. Now I know these scores vary by luck of the draw but this seem way out of proportion. 2 rigs cranking out 7 WU's in a day? That 2.5 WU's per day. Hell most of my machines are on days per WU's not WU's per day. *** am I doing wrong?

Sounds like you're getting tinkers :| low scoring but they take a helluva lot of time to get through.

Another competition would be awesome, but a little optimistic.

What gets me is that we have 32000+ members (granted not all of them active) yet we only have about 50 active folders... *sigh*

I'm with Vert, not going anywhere, I may only crank out 60 - 100 points per day but every little bit counts :)

Allthough my production has literally decimated because of tinkers, I have, unknowingly, crossed the 15000 mark. Yoohooh, I'm happy :D

Adjusting the points system for tinkers is not going to happen, I think. They'll have to recalculate all stats, from the beginning of the project till now. think that's a bit overkill considering it's only about points.

So I've decided I'm going to blackmail them. Send them an E-mail: One more tinker on our team and we'll quit. Now that's going to hurt! [/sarcasme]

:D ;)

EDIT: Oh, and by the way: I'm with vertices too. Not going anywere, instead I've added another 466 MHz. XP1800 -> XP2400

Woot! Broke 1k this week.:)

Hallelujah – after seemingly endless weeks of nothing but Tinkers (which by the way Fah LogStats recognizes as 50 pointers) I FINALLY got a 33-point unit and can hopefully be done with the Tinkers for a little while. Maybe get back to 600 points or so per week instead of the 210 I have been contributing.:p
