Sending up wu's but don't get any credits, read that you fixed this problem, but the wu's i sent up for about 30 minutes ago, don't show up on my Total- or recent average credits... |

Your claimed credit must be compared to the claimed credits of the same WU that has been send to 2 other PC's. As long these 2 other PC's haven't send their results, your can not get any credit for that WU. Once there are 3 claimed credits for the same WU, then only a granted credit can be given.

The other thing that could be holding up the process beyond the 2 other users sending in results for the same unit, is that one of those 2 returned results is way out of wack with the results you returned. If you are requesting 35 credits for a unit and person 2 is claiming 36 units and person 3 is requesting 38 credits then all will be granted 36 credits. BUT if you are requesting 35 creditsa nd person 2 is requesting 36 credits and person 3 is requesting 168 credits there is a probelm and the unit will have to be sent out to a 4th person and maybe even more depending on their results. This is partially to prevent the supposed cheating in Seti Classic and to help verify that the units are being processed correctly. In Seti Classic you were given credit for the unit even if it was a useless result. Boinc wants results it can use, putting more of the responsibility of doing that on us users. If we overclock, for example, we MUST be sure our machine is stable, alot of them aren't, therfore returning lots of results, but nothing that can be used. |
