How much time is there supposed to be between when my computer uploads completed WUs and when they show up as credit in my profile?

How much time is there supposed to be between when my computer uploads completed WUs and when they show up as credit in my profile?

Credit are issued after a quorum of 3 valid results are returned. This depends on many factors. The main one being the speed at which other crunchers that received the same WU return their results. Second, that a quorum is achieved from within the set of 4 copies initially sent out and that there is no need to resend the WU. The Seti project can send out up to 10 copies if necessary before it determines that a particular WU won't achieve Quorum of Results.

If valid results are returned and the other users have a fast turn around time, credits can sometimes be issued within a few hours. On the other hand, if the other users have a slow computers, maintain a large cache of WU, crunch for other projects, crunch only part time or fail the return valid results, the delays could be several weeks. In the worse case scenario {extremely rare} you may never receive any credit for a particular WU that can't achieve quorum.

When I first checked the results in your account you had not yet reported any finished results. By the time I finished writing this post (I'm a slow typist) you had 1 WU with granted credits and 1 WU with credits pending waiting for other users to report their work.

I've inserted several links to the Boinc Wiki in my post for you to get a more detailed information.

Welcome to Boinc-Seti and happy crunching.
