On 18 June 2008 I uploaded finished work and it has been listed as pending Credit in the amount of 52.77
Task ID 884454357
Workunit ID 283714684

I am wondering why it has taken this long for the credit to be applied or did the system fail and left that listed still as pending credit. Maybe someone at SETI@home might check into it for me. This has been the first time this happened since I joined on 7 April 2002.
Thanks for looking into it.

Credit is only given out when two computers have crunched and returned the task. In this case only you have returned it so far. Your original wingman went over the deadline. The task has now been sent to another computer.

You'll just have to wait.

Hi Ronald

We don't actually receive the credit until the SETI server has received two valid completed tasks from the workunit. Two are needed for purposes of comparison.

A copy of the task from your workunit was sent to someone else's computer but they didn't process it or didn't upload it. That's what No reply means. So the task has been sent to somebody else. When they've crunched it successfully you'll get your credits.

Here's the workunit:

By the way, when you post about your computer or tasks it's easier for us to check what's going on if you unhide your computer before you post.

Edit: PS Hi Jord!
