AFAIK both A1 and A2 (and A3) WUs count toward the 10 WU minimum and the 80% minimum for a passkey to qualify for bonuses. After you've qualified your passkey, you only get a bonus on projects which have a Kfactor value.

EDIT: Correction: The A1 WUs do NOT count toward the passkey qualification. You'll need 10 WUs that are either A2 or A3.

Ok, there are several names:
Felix_Pasqualli
Godzilla
Porky
Meema

Each of those with the exception of Meema are multiple smp and/or gpu clients, all with the same passkey.

You just answered your own question. One donor should equal one passkey. Which donor name was the original passkey issued for?

Well I got some bad advice then.
The passkey is tied to the team name.
At this point I have 15 clients on 6 physical pc's. All 6 are running smp with the remaing 9 soon to be 10 gpu clients.

What is my best course of action? Change the user name of all of them to weedacres or get a different passkey for each username?

Maybe this is a good time to redo my whole setup if there is a better way to organize it.

Either one will work, but if you use a single username and passkey, you'll qualify for the 10 WU minimum more quickly.

If that is the case, most folders should be getting the bonus on their first A3. I probably have in excess of 1,000 A2's under my passkey& still no indication of any bonus points

OK,, thanks for your help!

Just to further complicate things , I had 6.24b client running for a year + without a passkey.
I stopped the client after a WU finished , got a passkey , dropped in the 6.29 client , did a configure and ran One A3 WU and got a bonus.
P6014 for 484 base points and received 1436 points for it. Go Figure.

Actually, I believe I did too. I have 1 a1 associated with my passkey.

My daily total did look normal, and i was expecting a lower value for my smp.

I turned it in around 20:00 27th, it was a 6013 and my name is patonb if you want to check

OK, so if I understand this correctly, the rule is this:

At least 10 A2 WU's returned inside the deadline with:

a) The same passkey
b) The same userid
c) The same team number

I'm pretty sure this is the case because I know for a fact I've turned in > 100 A2 WU's with my current passkey, yet I'm not getting any bonus credit. However, I recently started using a new name/team. I believe the criteria is what I described above. It it NOT just your passkey, it is the combination of all 3 listed above. If anyone can confirm, that would be great, but the fact I'm sending in WU's and not getting bonus seems to substantiate my theory.

AFAIK it's two things, not three. The team number shouldn't matter, but the passkey & username do.

OK, good to hear. With any luck, I only have another 2 or 3 WU's to go then before I reach the 10 mark under the latest username.

I can see a 6014 turned in around noon yesterday (Stanford time). I don't see a 6013 but that's understandable if the same client has submitted another result since then. I have no way of knowing if a passkey was used or not. I can tell that you're not getting bonuses yet.

You're correct on the 6014, I made a mistake... And no bonus was expected... Guess I had a better day than I expected.

Thanks

A direct request this time, could a mod check on this one. Just finished a A3 . And the local count shows over 400 completed for this client alone.
if , in-fact no bonus is being applied. could it please be passed up to someone with higher access. to determine why?
