It could be that nobody else has crunched your WUs yet. Remember that 3 copies of the WU have to be returned before credit is given. Or the validator could be behind. Either way, just have patience. ------------------------------------ The game High/Low is played by tossing two nuclear warheads into the air. The one whose bomb explodes higher wins.

I am receiving credit roughly every 15 minutes, although some slower PC's (200mhz-500mhz) are getting credit at a rate of every two days. <a> |

The results of processing of a WU is first uploaded. Once this is done, the next step is to report the results. This is the moment the credit is claimed. But, your claimed credit is compared to the one of 2 other PC's. They have to match or to be close together, otherwise your claimed credit will not be granted. This all means, in total 3 PC's has to claim first roughly the same amount of credit. As a result of this, it takes normally several days before you get credit. Greetings from Belgium.

That's why I run with the smallest "cache" possible. I'm not worried or upset anytime SETI goes down. There is nothing I hate see more than a screen shot of someone's work tab showing 15-20 WU's waiting to report. -P > The results of processing of a WU is first uploaded. > Once this is done, the next step is to report the results.

Personally, I've been given Credit only on 2 occasions. Since several days (despite adding more and more Systems to BOINC, chunking out WU's) I observe complete stagnation. ___________________________________________ <p>Scientific Network : 36200 MHz «» 8204 MB «» 815.0 GB </p> |

As can be seen under your account, the newest PC's have been added starting the 15th, only 4 days ago. If you wait some more days, normally credit should be awarded to these PC's. |

I finish a WU about once every 2.5 hours, so I find it hard to believe that none of the 9 or 10 WU's I complete every day has been validated by two other machines. It's probably been about 30-40 WU's now since I've received credit. |

Did you do an "Update" in the tab "Projects" the last days? Greetings from Belgium. Help Desk: use "Most recent answer first" sorting. |

Hello I am crunching 2 wu's in around 3 hours.I have not recieved any credit in 2-3 days either.My credit did not go up after sending loads of wu's back.It normally does.Guess I have to wait for other peopl to send back wu's too. |

Did you try to do an "Update"? In the last 3 days according to Setisynergy your credits raised more then 200. |

Just one more aside on this. If you read through all of the background material one of the points in the new process is that you may process a work unit and return a valid result and recieve no credit. This is no longer a process where all work is rewarded. Reasons for no reward include: a) Your result is invalid. b) the work unit is invalid. c) you were late in returning your result and the quorum was filled and the WU assimilated d) all other results but yours is invalid. e) your result was not needed f) the moon is over Venus g) you complained about not getting credit h) you came up with a flawed scheme to cheat The process is much tighter, the traceability is there, validation has been increased, the work is only issued as many times as necessary and no more than is necessary. <p> For BOINC Documentaion: Click Me! |
