and please stop comments like i do it only for the science
thats not Truth

on the message bords from seti 1 project
but team not living only from do it for science
team living from points
to have a race with another teams in friedship
thats the fun or is it not so

You are never guaranteed credit. Credit calcuations will not even be started until three successful results are returned. That can take months. Even then, you will not get credit if your result is an error, or if your result does not match the other results, or if there is some glitch in the servers, or if there are too many results (this last is probably a bug).

what i not unterstand is this
at the teampage

i have 2273.70 points

at the Account data page
i have 2339.54 points

at the Your account Page
i have 2383.28 points

difficult system is it

If you look closely on the team & account-data-pages, in lower left corner a "Generated date time" is displayed. "Your account page" on the other hand isn't cached, so is often showing higher credit than the rest.

oh i see
i have not see this its
a lighten grey on a white page ;-)
real good colors to see this as first ;-(
thanks

Read and weep Guido

From a post by Paul;

From the "Rules and Policy"

===============
Liability

SETI@home and University of California assume no liability for damage to your
computer, loss of data, or any other event or condition that may occur as a
result of participating in SETI@home.

Other BOINC projects

Other projects use the same platform, BOINC, as SETI@home. You may want to
consider participating in one or more of these projects. By doing so, your
computer will do useful work even when SETI@home has no work available for
it.

These other projects are not associated with SETI@home, and we cannot vouch
for their security practices or the nature of their research. Join them at
your own risk.
==============

From the Credit Page:

Claimed credit is reported to a project when your computer communicates with
its server. The granted credit that you receive may be different from the
claimed credit, and there may be a delay of a few hours or days before it is
granted. This is because some BOINC projects grant credit only after results
have been validated.

================

From "Getting Started":

Please keep in mind:

There may be a delay of several days between when your computer reports a
result and when it is granted credit for the result. Your User page shows
you how much credit is 'pending' (claimed but not granted).
The credit-granting process starts when your computer reports a result to the
server (not when it finishes computing the result or uploading the output
files).
In rare cases (e.g. if errors occur on one or more computers) you may never
receive credit for a computation.

=================


There is no implied commitment by the developers of BOINC, any of the
projects, or anyone else that this is a "risk free" environment. Nor that it
is even worth your time. We are volunteers, they are trying to stay
responsive to us, and to create a new environment for the pursuit of science.

As much as I am unhappy with some of the day to day problems, we have come a
long way from when I first participated in the BOINC Beta program (I came in
after they had switched from the astropulse application to the SETI, for what
that is worth, though BOINC insisted that the WU were AP's).

Anyway, smile, it could be worse ...

Semper Eadem
So long Paul, it has been a hell of a ride.

Park your ego's, fire up the computers, Science YES, Credits No.

thanks
i have read many things but the problems are the same or is it not so

Team credit is granted only while someone is attached to a team. Credit earned for a team stays with a team.
