Dr. Pande asked team members be reminded that -bigadv folding is an experiment and that points may be adjusted in the near future. This is in response to a thread "points system is getting ridiculous" on FF that's many pages long.
If normal proceedure is followed that will mean throwing more points at the other clients. However this time could be different. I think they now see that an exponential bonus is unsustainable, ppd approaches infinity too quickly. (48 core Opterons, that aren't all that expensive, are making 850,000 ppd now) Expect the QRB to be modified soon and govern your purchases accordingly.
