I see this rarely as at here where my result is the lunatic mod shown at the top (the anonymous platform). It seems that the only important difference is the estimated credits. Note that the other two are both cuda systems and use different CoProcessors. One would expect all 3 systems to be slightly different.

here is another one but there was no need for a consensus check and both wu's show the same claimed credit. Note that neither system used the CUDA but the cpu's are different.

So what causes a 3rd computer to be called on for a consensus? Is it because the claimed credits are different?

If I had used the standard (non-lunatic) version would there have been a need for a 3rd consensus?

the results may look the same but they can be different. just because you've found the same # of pulses, gaussians and spikes doesnt mean you found the same ones. thus the need for a 3rd party to confirm the results.

The CUDA_app have an overclaim of ~ 26 % Credits (depend of AR, less or more).
That's 'normal', but I guess the next version will not longer have this.
If the CUDA result will be compared with a CPU result, the lower CPU Credits are granted.
If two CUDA results will be compared, both PC get the overclaim granted.

Not because of the CUDA overclaim or different claimed Credits.
Sometimes if two wingman will be compared, it can happen rarely that the results don't match 100 %, then a 3rd result is needed.

No, opt. and orig. app - all make the same results.
