@IEC, from what I understood, every new host needs to deliver a certain number of valid WUs before it will earn the early return bonuses, even if the host is owned by a long-time user. (I may be wrong.)

I searched for answers and found more questions instead. I have always thought the passkey immediately gives the QRB (quick return bonus) to a new host, if the user has already turned in 10 valid results, I learned today about the return rate of 80% or better.
Here is the quote from the FAQ: The bonus is applied for users who use a passkey, have successfully returned at least 10 bonus-eligible WUs, have successfully returned 80% or more of assigned WUs, and returned the unit before its Timeout.
Breaking that down (my interpretation):
The bonus is applied for USERS(not hosts) who
use a passkey,
have successfully returned at least 10 bonus-eligible WUs,
have successfully returned 80% or more of assigned WUs,
and returned the unit before its Timeout. (They should remove that....it wouldn't be a very quick return if it timed out, eh?)
So as long as your name and passkey are correct, new hosts get immediate QRB's. I think.
Yep, glad to be a part of an active DC team. Some friendly competition predisposes me to pulling the trigger on good deals for hardware and expanding the DC fleet. With the fire sale on 1st generation Ryzen/Threadripper parts I just couldn't say no to more hardware.

The sales before Thanksgiving for the 1950X and 1920X when I picked up both of those. Then I bought a like-new 1900X for $260 rather than returning my extra X399 motherboard (because I bought yet another ASRock Taichi on sale...)
I figure it's at least another 3Q to a year before we see new Threadripper parts so might as well jump on cheap 1st generation parts and wait for 7nm to upgrade.
the kitchen outlets are on the same circuit as my computer nook (for whatever dumb reason), so i pretty much already am. have to remember not to run the toaster oven and the electric kettle at the same time or it throws the breaker and the computers all turn off.

I can't run the microwave and the coffee maker at the same time. I also can't run the vacuum anywhere in the house. The last computer, I had to hook up to the bathroom with a 50 foot extension cord (outside kind), as its the only circuit with no computers on it.

friend of mine got a job at biglaw right out of school. baby lawyers don't get to do trials, so to get experience biglaw loans them out to the city attorney to prosecute low level tickets in front of juries. my friend's trial was someone who'd been ticketed for the code violation of using an extension cord as permanent wiring. most people are kinda ticked off that they're doing jury duty to begin with, and doubly so when they're prosecuting something most people don't think is a crime or should be a crime. whole jury (6 people or something) is fuming the whole time, take no time for deliberation and find the code-breaker not guilty. as they're walking out, the jury foreman points at my friend and angrily exclaims, "you need to get a real job!"

I will be traveling during the next three days, and won't take an internet capable device with me. Hence, no stats until Saturday, Dec 29 (or maybe late Friday, Dec 28). My computers will continue to fold molecules and also pull stats from EOC in regular intervals. I will thus be able to fill out the blanks in the charts when I return — if nothing catches fire in my absence.
But if stats withdrawal is getting unbearable and you want to keep track, here are starting points, current points, and daily sub-team points for copy&paste.
I know where I worked, in a public building, we got a once a year building inspection
from the town, and anything that looked like an extension cord would get you Big fines.
I'm not sure how many others here are getting this Folding project, but I am ready to not see project 14124 anymore. It's like 4 1/2 hours on my GTX 1080ti, and I think 6 hours on my 1080.
It returns a good amount of points when finished, but I could run several smaller ones in the same amount of time, and come out better off. I know it's for a good cause, and it must be a complicated project, but c'mon already!
I had one of those completed right now. It ran 4h20m and had a final estimated PPD of 1.13 M. This is ~6...8 % below of the average across the mix of WUs that I got recently. (I run only 1080TIs and Linux at this time.)
Yeah, they are by far the largest projects I've seen since I began Folding. In fact, I was able to use my youngest son's PC tonight for some Folding, and it has a GTX 1070 in it. When I fired up the client, of course it was one of those monster projects, and it estimated that it would take 6 hours 45 minutes to complete for something like 150,000 points.
Wave of thunderstorms swept through Texas and knocked out rigs at my apartment as well as at my parents' place. Only lost about an hour of production on the rigs here but the other ones will remain down until I get back to them this weekend.
tl;dr maybe 1.7M PPD for M&M instead of 4.1M+ PPD for a few days.
Not that it makes much difference in the overall outcome, lol.
Race or not.................think of it this way...........the ones you complete during the race might make quite the difference. The race could have a very good byproduct.
