Getting to many points????

Hello,

Probably not what people are complaining about but I seem to be logging much more Work Units and Points than I am actually creating.
As far as I know the only bigger stuff I am working on is with my GPU and I should be getting aprox 1 Unit and about abrox 1300 points every 4 hrs.

I notice that on my stats I have been getting clusters of 5 work units and some 5500+ points.
I do have a slow laptop running f@h but we are talking about 1 work unit and 69 points a few times a day.


2011-12-15 1,776 5,581 2,481 1,325 11,163
2011-12-14 2,481 1,348 5,651 9,480

Via Kakao Stats (I am UTC -8hrs)

As far as I am aware the only "bigger"(LOL) projects I am working on are:

[07:54:05] Folding@Home Gromacs GB Core

UNLESS the problems with my imac have been resoved and things are plugging along at about 4X its fastest output ever (impossible core2duo) I cannot seem to pickup any new work units for months now.......

Anyhow, I only want the credit that I am producing. Ya, I am old fashioned that way. ;o)

I also confirm i have received many more points than expected. During the outage i completed one P6901, three or four normal SMP WUs and less than ten GPU WUs. No extra large ones (P6903, P6904) were completed (they were all under process). I was expecting a total credit of about 130-140K and yesterday i received over a million points. No XXL WUs completed/submitted yesterday as well. The discrepancy is huge.
I'm afraid that either some XXLs which i completed just before the outage have been double-credited or i have been awarded points that belong to some other fellow folders :e( , which is pretty unfair. Well, both assumptions are unfair but the second one is even more. I don't want to obtain the reward of someone else's effort.

It's just points. I'd be more upset if the science got screwed up during the outage.

There you go. There's a good idea. Let's all start a point trading system, just to shuffle things around. We can be all like "Hey I've got a GTX 580, let's start the auction at 450k" :D

Anyone interested in my 950? :lol:

I knew that ... which is why the posts are still there. Not everybody reading them would know that, though.
