I'm not understanding the stats/scoring system at all - Lion's PS3 has been folding like... someone who's just emptied every dryer in the worlds largest laundrette... *ahem*, but for some reason I've scored more.

[Rapier Racer]

I was wondering how the points system worked too maybe bigger units earn more points?

I'm in!

Will running this shorten the life of my console? I mean it is hammering the cell isn't it?

[Task]

It'll have no more effect than just having the console on would have.

A processor isn't really a failure point for hardware, the other parts of your console will wear out much sooner.

[Lion]

mine keeps having communications issues. it'll complete a unit and fail to upload results, or fail to grab a unit to work with in the first place (and the retry delay gets longer each time). and it doesn't seem to cache them to upload later either...

edit: interesting, I just noticed that my PS3 says I have completed 2 work units, where that page says I have completed 9
I imagine this is related to my lower than expected score.

edit2: 3 days later...
if I wasn't taking breaks from folding to play Dirt or Wipeout (which is way harder than I remember, without a neggie) then I recon I'd be beating you on points by now

edit3: another 9 days later...
kickass! top of the tables

Probably a little late, but I'll join as well

I just figured out how it works and what it actually is.

I've not been doing a lot recently, but if I'm playing a lot of Burnout at the weekend then the controllers will need recharged overnight, so that's as good a reason as any to do some folding.

I'll join when I return from class tonight. I usually only run it when I'm away for a couple hours and I want to come home to a warm PS3 =P. Hopefully reviving this topic will get some of the people whom also just got a PS3. Let's cure some cancer!!

Edit: this totally needs a sticky

I signed up too. Love the maps with all the clusters of lights on - the UK and the Netherlands seem to be the hottest places. It`s like being in a plane. If only they could add some gameplay and let us use that view to drop bombs on France it would be perfect. Joking, FFF. Let`s get WZ into the top 10,000!
