New SMP2 negates using VMware

[patonb]

My tpf is bout 21 minutes, use to be like 30 easily on the a1s 1760s.

However, I'm gonna ask if a2s count too.

Edit, good news a2s do count.

Very bottom.

count towards bonus points?

WOOT

count towards bonus points?

WOOT

One important part of the bonus system is that users:
1. Must use a passkey to receive bonus points
2. Must successfully return >=10 A2 or SMP2 work units with their passkey to receive bonus points
3. Must successfully return >80% of A2 or SMP2 work units to receive bonus points

Is the rules.

Wait, so now that I have a passcode, do I have to update all my other clients with passcodes too?

 

[KSoD]

I thought the passcode was only for the SMP Clients. I havent added it to my GPU yet. I think i will just in case.

 

[patonb]

rIGHT NOW, THEY ONLY DO SOMETHING FOR THE (**** caps) smp but you can add them too the gpu and unis, as it'll add security to your user name.

Right now I could take your name and use it as a trojan folder, was done last year, and you'd lose all your points. With the key, your poiints/contributions are secure .

I have added it to my GPU client since i got it. thanks for the input on the security risk though. didnt know i could lose everything if someone wanted to mess with me.

8.5k was on a2 cores in a linux vm, now that ive switched to a3's (still using a VM, the a3 on windows smp wouldnt work...) im getting about 11.7k, TPF of 3:09

dont get how ur getting such better tpf them me...could u shoot me a link for the vmware one your using?

I'll have to wait and catch my GPU right after it finishes a WU. My internet connection was down all day yesterday (router froze up) so I lost any potential WUs that could have been done during that time already.

same one you tried bigadv with, cept with -smp 7 instead of -bigadv -smp 7

maybe i was doing something wrong in the win smp, because paton said native OS is best for the new cores, but my TPF was like 10min+
