I have 5 pending credtis on the web site's Results for user web page, one from 23 Jun 2005 12:11:41 UTC, one from 27 Jun 2005 1:25:04 UTC, onew from 27 Jun 2005 13:18:36 UTC, one from 27 Jun 2005 16:20:45 UTC, and one from 28 Jun 2005 1:16:39 UTC. Why are theses still pending credit. Had 4 units with credit between these. Running BOINC Manager v 4.25 and now started reciving this message in the messages window:

One thing that might be affecting your pending results is that the validators are down. Anything else would be pure conjecture because your computers are hidden.

To get credit, following must be done:

1) Upload the Result Data File(s), done by Boinc, which is what you did.
2) Report the Result = claim credit, done by Boinc. Once this is done, the credit is pending.
3) validate the result = comparing your result to at least 2 other results, which means 2 other hosts have also to report their result. Therefore this can take some 10 days. Done by the server in Berkeley.
As for now, the validator is not running when looking to the server status.
4) if validated, get credit, which means turning pending credit into granted credit.

Message from server: (reached daily quota of 2 results)


If your daily quota is 2 WU'S, it means some WU's have been returned having an error.
As your host(s) is (are) hided, it is hard to tell what could be the problem. You can have a look on these errors or in the tab "Messages" of Boinc or on the website by looking to the WU's that has been send under "your account", "Account statistics", results "view".
Read the News at the homepage
Have a look at the Technical News
Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki

Best greetings, Thierry

Why do people hide their computers?

Are they afraid the machines will be visible to the net. I guess if your machine name comes up with the name of the production server it is running on then that may be a problem. All these damn hackers on seti might try to exploit your machine.

This in itself would not affect the quota.

Each time that a result is returned as having failed with a computation error, an abort, or late, the quota drops by one. Each successful completion doubles the quota up to a pre-set limit.

The question is why the quota dropped in your case. Whatever the reason, we need to see a copy of the messages to try to tell what is going on.
