Extra Information
- Our estimated numbers assume you have properly setup your name, team number, and passkey within Folding@home. You can get these by entering your banano wallet address into the form within Banano Miner.
- A properly set passkey will enable higher payouts through a bonus amount. However, this bonus seems to only take effect after you've completed at least 10 work units within Folding@home. Our estimated numbers assume the bonus is active. If you have not completed 10 work units, your actual numbers will be lower.
