Credits are granted in Cobblestones, not on a per WU basis, as was the case in Classic Seti. Each WU is sent out to 4 hosts (computers), then when they're returned, the results are compared and then credits are granted. it's not instantaneous as it was in Classic. This was done to cut down on cheating and ensure accurate results. Paul D Buck has a wonderful documentation website that will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about Boinc. I have done a search of his site and by clicking on this you will be taken to the "C" page of his website, then scroll down to Credit. You may also want to click on the "Validation" link. hope this helps tony ID: 91927 ·

In general, you will not see your credit score rise for about a week to ten days. Once you have some in the "queue" it will flow ... You may also want to look at the FAQ I have on the site ...
