Hello

On my results overview I see at some results very small claimed credits.

This is the ouput of the result (on website):

It could happen, when there is a lot of noise in the WU was recorded. If it is a noisy WU, you will get cranted credits. - Like it happens in your case.

Otherwise, this error message could also happens, if there is a failure in the client. But on a client fail, you don't get any credits, because the other computers computes a different result like yours, and so your Reuslts wasn't validated.

Okay, I see.
I was surprised that I have around 20 results of them.
Now the results are looking good.
