Folding Chit-Chat

Looks like 1stRaven's got his work cut out upgrading all those servers of his.... I'll do mine as soon as it's finished processing the current WU.

[1stRaven]

oh great, job for tomorrow morning then.

Aaaand that was indeed true.

However, to be able to use the new A5 core, one needs to use an updated client: 6.34 or later. We are shutting down A3 bigadv in the next day, so please update your clients if you wish to continue running bigadv work units (to be clear, all issued A3 bigadv work units will be accepted until their deadlines.

Let us know whether these new a5 units have any effect on your PPD

Right guys, just recieved my new MSI 560. Ruddy he'll is is leaps on from the 4890 for folding. With both smp and gpu running, my ppd has jumped from 10k ish to 25k!!! Not going to be able to run 24/7 continuously, but should be able to contribute a good total.

Edit; should make up for the failed 2M WU again. I wonder why I get so many of them?

I love the image of you and the mrs driving round the uk, sowing your seeds everywhere. Copper tapping on your car window while in the process of sweeeeeeet love, you winding down the window and responding "I'm reducing global warming". Nice.

Shame I only drive a Peugeot 106. No room for Mrs Tatty and any trees and any sowing....

It is amazing how versatile the English language is when one forgotten word, in my case "own", can have a dramatic effect on a sentences meaning lol

Well, providing we get 7000 points this update we'll be hitting 9 figures

[nibbler]

[Teamsreth]

Great achievement for all current and past folders

Indeed, and congrats to you for making the 1000th reply to this thread A monumentous acheivement

But seriously, that's a great effort. Well done everyone, and it's been an honour to be part of the team

[watercooled]

Well done everyone!

I think I said this a while ago, must have misinterpreted someone's post and didn't check the score myself.

[shbris]

congratulations team!!

btw anyone know how to make the smp client stop after the current WU so i don't lose a WU when upgrading to .34, my return rate is sketchy as it is ...

[watercooled]

run it with the -oneunit flag, then it will quit when it's done.

[scaryjim]

AFAIK there isn't a way to do this while it's running. There might be a switch you can set when you start the client (i.e. you could stop it, then restart it with the appropriate switch to stop after the current WU), but I don't know if that's the case off the top of my head.

EDIT: and... beaten to it I blame google for being so slow to return my search results

[watercooled]

If checkpoints are on, you could quit then run it again with the flag. Depending on how far apart your checkpoints are though, you might lose a fair bit of time.

[1stRaven]

Well done everyone!
