PasskeyQ: Multiple Usernames need multiple passkeys?

I'm trying to figure out which machines I should leave on for "science", so I give each machine a different username.
Do I share the passkey I have for all machines, or get unique ones for each?

Either.
Each UserName+Passkey must complete 10 WUs before the bonus kicks in, to it's more economical to use one name.

Good point.
I'll figure out which machines work best, then merge.

You really don't have to have a different username for each machine unless you need to track each machine separately. Whether you do or not, you can still use the same passkey on each.
I personally would use a monitoring program such as HFM.net to track individual machines, rather than using different usernames. It is designed for such and gives much better metrics.
