I've only just gotten started with the BOINC SETI@Home client, I've been running two machines for a week and a half now. I've processed and returned a number of results, but I'm rather puzzled and irritated to see my credit still at 0.00 all this time. I've logged into the account site only to find that the pending credit and results inquiries are all disabled.

What's up with this? There was always a nice feeling of accomplishment and progress with the old client, watching the number of completed WU's climb steadily. With next to no visibility on the progress of my own contributions to the project, the sense of involvement just isn't the same. Will something be done to fix this soon?

I hate to add to your disappointment but it took me about 1 1/2 months before i got credit, mainly due to system downtime, but also to the way credit is calculated. You won't get credit until 3 different people have crunched the same Work Unit, and then once that is all verified by the program you will receive credit.

Keep at it like I did. I went from 0.00 one minute to 800+ the next and didn't realize it.
