F@H new version & Tinker WUs
I updated my F@H text consoles yesterday. Since then, I got 3 tinker WUs and no regular WUs. Is it just coincidence or is the new version geared towards tinkers? Both of my F@H got tinkers so far. I'm just asking since I only got 1 Tinker during the whole time before the upgrade.
Did I mess something up in the settings? I remember clearly asking for fah WUs when I was configuring them.

I really think it is the luck of the draw on which assignment server you get. I have only switched one box over to the new version and so far its done 9 WU's and none of them have been Tinkers. I did get a good number of Tinkers on my other boxes over the Holidays. All of mine are set to get fah WU's but they will still give me Tinkers from time to time.

There are two types of F@H WUs - Tinker and Gromacs. I think the Tinker are the ones that have 400 frames to finish, while the Gromacs go through the 100 steps. Seems the Tinker are less common, take longer, and are worth more points, right?

Yes, the Tinkers use frames, take longer but, the range on point values for Tinkers are from 5.6-70. I don't believe I have ever got one of those 70 pointers tho.

Tinkers are not good for points. I only started receiving normal WUs last night. My production over the last couple of days are below par. I only got around 70 points a day. I usually get around 110-150 with regular WUs.
