Folding Forum

Here is my current standing at BOINC. Most of this work was done in a previous period using a $5000 water cooled gaming computer with twin GPU's from Maingear. Those earlier results totaled over 36 million credits out of the current 44 million credits. https://boincstats.com/signature/-1/user/206514...

Well, I cannot even contemplate answering all of your criticisms. The most important thing you said was that even if I succeeded in setting up Version 8 and had my Nvidia T1000 GPU recognized it is very low end and would get little work. So, since Version 7 is working well and I would get little mor...

I thought I might try a different route to Version 8. I thought the problem might be browser related. My default browser is Firefox because it has many tools I use for my blog, but O.K., try I different browser. I stopped the work in Version 7. I opened Chrome and made it the default so that the .ex...

So I went back to Version 7 and it started to work immediately. I did put in my identity. No muss, no fuss. That is how it should be.

It has been over 1 hour, no email to confirm my email address. I am just going to go back to Version 7 which does not have all of this.

I ran the install for Version 8 and got as far as "Verify your email address", which did not tell me that an email would be coming for me to verify my email address and I have not gotten the email requesting me to do the verification, so I cannot finish the setup. Will the email come? If s...

I think I just found the problem for my installation of Version 8. The email I was to get to confirm my email address went into my Junk file, something which has never ever previously occurred and I never looked there for it. So, I would like to again try in install Version 8. Version 7 is running i...

Thanks. That is what I thought.

I do have a question. I have gone back to Version 7 because I could not satisfy the requirements for Version 8 due to my own limitations. In Version 7, I do not see that I am using my GPU, just 15 CPU's. Should I not also see usage of my GPU?

Thanks.

I do not think that I ever set up a pass key when I was originally running Version 7.

Forget it. I went back to Version 7 which was set up in about five minutes. It is a shame that with Version 8 things got so complicated. I remembered my user name, saw my previous statistics and started to work. I also "crunch" for four BOINC projects. "Crunching" is a way for th...

I managed to get Save to go live so I saved my work, but I still have the same question, as that did nothing.

What have I missed?

O.K., I read the guide and went to the link for Version 8 and saved it and did the install. I chose my user name and pass phrase. Then I went to Login, entered my user name and pass phrase and attempted to log in. I got a message which says "Account not active Please verify your email to activa...

The version 8 install completed, but I saw nothing of any work, so I have uninstalled. I never saw a passphrase or anything like it. This should not be so complex. I am really unhappy that I removed version 7 because it was at least working. So, I am no longer connected in any way to FAH. I will be ...

Thanks. The install is taking a very long time. As of this morning it has reached 66.7%. I started immediately after my last reply to you. Just now
showing 66.8%, so it is definitely installing.
