No worries mate! I was just courious as it seemed different then the other projects I had worked on. Now thanks to rivers explination, It all makes sense now :-) (Mostly anyways hehe). The only problem I have now, Is the occasional "No Work From Project" one. :-((

Great explination ! And yea, I was talking about BOINC projects. So I guess then, The issue thus becomes a matter of, Do you send abunch of new work units out to be crunched, Knowing it will take longer for them to be resent a second time, As the majority of work units availabe are new ones, Not reissued ones, Thus causing the delay in credits granted. Or, Do you send less newer ones out daily, And reissue the older ones a second time, Before you move on to the next batch of new work units again. Which would mean quicker credit granted for users, But not as many "New or First time" W/U's being crunched for the project ? If I understand that correctly, It does make sense now. At least to me.

Thanks

Thanks for the Detailed explination. Is there any particular reason why the validation process is done like this here, As opposed to the way most other projects are done ? Seems abit strange to have to possibly wait until a work unit has passed its deadline, And then be reissued a second time, And only and if then it is returned valid, Will you get any credit. (Unless someone else runs it and returns it). But, It is what it is I reckon. hehe Was just courious.

Thanks !

Im new here to this project, So excuse my ignorance. But, Is it normal to this project for it to take sooo long to validate and award any type of credit once the wu is crunched ? Or is it a recent problem thats popped up ?

Just Courious,
