BOINC Quiestion

[Slaughter]

So how long do these things stay pending? :| I want my credit!

 

[Freewolf]

Until two other people crunch them is my understanding

 

[Slaughter]

Ah, interesting. I guess. :|

 

[Liontaur]

Two people in total have to crunch and send up that WU. Also you won't get credit until your computer talks to the scheduling server and lets it know the WU is finished. To force your computer to tell the scheduling server about the WU being done and sent up right click on the project in the project tab then left click on update.

Liontaur, haven't I already corrected you on this? In beta they mostly used 2 results for validation, but largely to give more "fair" crediting they increased this to needing 3 results for validation. So then you've returned your result you must wait for 2 others to also return the result.

How long in general does it take though? As a stats junkie I can see that BOINC may not be for me. There isnt a single person with any points yet and it started 2 days ago... ;(

 

[Rattledagger]

Most likely the validator isn't running yet... They're currently having a scheduled outage so probably then they're back up credits will also starts popping up...

Generally, since atleast in the start most is using short caches you should get your credit after 1-2 days, but some will need to time-out so take over 14 days...

 

[Pokey]

Just for the record, I have started getting some credits when I checked today. Also have some credits in waiting...................

 

[Rattledagger]

Yes, the 1st credits are in, and currently Anandtech is at 10th place... with BBR at 45.

Unfortunately the team-stats is currently not sorted so finding anyone in a team that's returned anything is nearly impossible, but hopefully this is fixed soon...

I hope so. I gave up on scrolling through the team roster looking for my entry.
