F@H machines working for team "zero"

[Gravity]

I have done the "install as a service" thingy on many machines. I never assigned a unique id to any one of them. Now I see that several of my machines are working for team "0". Can I someone get those points to our team without going back and configuring them?

Thanks!

Nope once the points have been assigned they stay with that team.

I like the ability in SETI@Home and LifeMapper to transfer WUs.

I really wish F@H had this. Then I could transfer all the WUs I did for the darkside (aka HardOCP) over to TA. This will probably never be implemented though.

For better or for worse, you can't transfer existing points from one team to another. Of course, it's never too late to reconfigure systems set for Team 0 to point to Team 198 instead... 😀

It's a wash. SETI has the problem of people quitting teams and taking their production with them.

Yeah, that can suck (if you're on the receiving end and the transfer was done out of anger or maliciousness), but it can also suck for someone who has a valid reason to want to transfer their WUs. Personally, I do tend to prefer the F@H system slightly, but there are merits to both (IMHO), and I'm glad that I'm not the one in charge of making the decision of which to use.

FWIW, if F@H ever did make that big of a change to the stats system, I'm fairly certain that the stats would be 0'ed out again, like they were between F@H 1 and F@H 2. In the interest of prognostication (and putting my foot in my mouth), I'll say that if the stats are changed (big IF, btw), it will happen at the same time as a major client upgrade.

There has been a lot of discussion among the DPAD members about stats lately. [TA]z came across a real cool idea about how stats should work and I totally agree. All points crunched for a team stay with the team. Each user has an individual stats total. If a person joins a team, their stats reflect the amount they have crunched for the team, and keep the running individual total. If they join another team, the stats reflect the amount for that team, the other team and individual total. Our own DanC broached the subject recently in the DPAD forums, and a great lively discussion ensued. You may want to check this thread for a far better explanation.....

You can transfer points from team "0" to another team. I can't remember how, but there is a way.
so you can fold for as long as you want with no team, and then join a team and bring those points over to the team. Well at least thats what i remember reading

Hmm, that sounds distinctly like the way the RC5 stats (used to?) work. If the F@H stats work that way also, I'd be glad, but unfortunately I have a suspicion that they don't.

I think you are correct. I did some reserach and it appers i was mistaken 🙁
