I recently racked up a bunch of credits but I noticed 2,500 are still held up in pending.Is this normal? How long does it take to receive your pending credits?
Thx to all.

Depending on your machine, yes, it is perfectly normal. Some people here have in the tens of thousands of pending credit.

Pending credit is awaiting results from another computer to return their copy of the same workunit so that they can be cross-validated with each other. So there are many factors as to how long it can take, such as how often your quorum partner crunchers, the speed of their machine, how often they connect to the internet - or if they simply disappear off the face of the planet and the workunit times out, it will be sent to another system and the waiting process starts all over.

Generally speaking though, most pending results are returned in a reasonable amount of time.
