It can take up to 2 weeks, or more, depending on may things. Credits in Boinc are done on a consensus basis. No more you automatically get credit if you send in a unit. If the work you do is not Scientificaly valuable, you do not get credit for it. Makes sense to me, sense this is a Science project. The wiki, a sort of cross between a dictionary and an enclopedia, for Boinc is here http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=Main_Page. It is searchable and almost 1300 pages long. ID: 386597 ·

Thank you for your response and answer to my question. Ya'lls thoughts on this. The only way that a unit can be valuable is if it has signs of extraterrestrial intellegence(scientifically valuable). so therefore everyone should get credit for turning units whether it shows signs of extraterrestrial intellegence or not, or every credit that is granted means that those units have evidence for alien intellegence. As i said above this is a search for extraterrestrial intellegence, if only the valuable units get credit then noone should have any credits, except the units that show proof of E.T.I.. Since there are hundreds of thousands of credited units, that means there should be hundreds if not thousands of possible intellegent signals. Then why hasnt anyone confirmed these possibles??????????????????????? ID: 386712 ·

I checked your account and the other 3 people that received the same WU returned invalid results so the WU has been reissued on the 2nd of August to 3 new people. This means that there will be a longer delay than normal before your result which appears to be good will have a chance to be verified and credits given.
