Even after updating projects HFM and Fahmon both tell me: "Unknow" for credit, PPD and deadline.

This morning I found that several of my standard clients have unknown projects with unknown points, deadline, client type and core. A little digging revealed that these are project 1740-1779, WUs....which you wont find in the project list. However, you can find a description here: http://fah-web.sta...

So far, I cant seem to justify the cost of i7 - especially not 1366 i7. PPD/$ is better on other platforms. I think we should start a couple threads lik...

shows credit for this WU as 1425 - that’s a bonus of about 1000.
I was able to track the finish of this WU and I was credited 1448 points for it - so the HFM prediction was pretty darn close!

There was a problem? I didn’t even notice :) Of course I only fold about 10 WU per day so I would be less affected. By the end of the week I should have 10 A3 WUs complete. Can’t wait to see some bonus credits! Looks like the bonuses will raise my production about 700ppd (~6000ppd total). Not ba...

machine ID

Do you need a different machine ID for every computer/client?
