Hello,

Since a few days I have uploaded some workunit results, but the credit in both the BOINC client and account info is the same. I think the problem with credits that happened some days ago is happening again.

Regards

1) Credit is only given after THREE different computers have processed the same workunit, uploaded it AND REPORTED the completion, and after the "credit-giver" process (validator/verifier/whatever they call it today) has determined that credit is due. So, it might take quite a while before credit is given. Normally a couple of days; in extreme cases maybe a few weeks. But see next.

2) A recent bug (see news on website front page) means that some complete workunits (no mention of how many) will never get credit. Tough luck all around.

3) They seem to have turned off the "credit-giver" process for the last week or more. Now that they are producing/distributing workunits and accepting uploads again, maybe they'll re-enable that process soon.
