Has someone forgotten to press the "validator" switch? After all the fuss and many, many people transferring, according to the leaderboards nobody has a single item of granted credit yet.

Is this "normal" or is there a problem?

Thanks in advance :)

It takes 3 computers to crunch the same work unit and return it, before the credit is granted. So it can take a while.

Thanks, I'm aware of that. There are units already complete by 3 users e.g.

http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/workunit.php?wuid=7821

I'm sure there are others. It seems odd after this time that nobody in the world has been given any credits?

Maybe because result 23463 was crunched with 3.18 CC and the others 3.19? It would surely be 3.08 SAH in any case? I'm just wondering "if" because the CC revision levels don't match the validator has decided the results are different.

You can't blame that one. It's a Linux client that crunched the one with 3.18

Only the Windows client is 3.19

So this may well be a small bug in the database. Seeing that JM7 has been in this thread, it's almost definitely been reported to the devs.

Actually they noticed without my input. Apparently one of the computers reported a complete upload without actually uploading the data. IMHO, this should generate an error and a resend to a different client.

I don't think it's a problem with 3.18 and 3.19 turning in the WUs.

Here's one of mine that should be validated, and all hosts are using 3.19.

Edit: Ah, so now it goes through...

Guess what, the "problem which never existed" got fixed. Thanks Beta testers all, your input is appreciated ;)
