Per resource group user/team

[eFISHncy]

Hello there, is there an equivalent to the slot-options feature of the V7 client available or planned for the V8 client? This feature allowed to specify user and team on a per slot basis in the V7 client, which is handy to support multiple teams at once.

I'm not aware of v7 having an option to fold under different teams and usernames with single client. I don't think v8 has a planned feature like this

Ohhh i discovered that feature because of this fah-control wiki entry: https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-control/wiki/3rd-party-FAHClient-API#setting-and-saving-configuration-options This was very handy for the mentioned purpose :/ Well looks like i will be stuck with v7 ^^

You can always request for this to be considered. The reason there was no plans for this feature is because not many people use it, or knew about it.

I would call this issue a feature request.

I suppose a rough estimate of demand would be indicated by how many users are currently contributing to multiple teams under same user name.

Is there anything i need to do to repurpose this issue as a feature request?

[kbernhagen]

No. Joseph just needs to tag it as Enhancement.

Another use case is someone hosting folding for multiple people on one machine.

Although It might be better to have multiple clients running with separate account tokens.

Will we ever see anyone hosting their machines for other users? If someone is going to do this, that will be probably 1 person in the project, just to see if it is working. We had someone renting other people's machines for fah, but that was very nieche situations.

There is already at least one on discord.

Sorry, there will be two people in the project who will use this feature :D However, this was possible in v7 :)
