Check your "Pending" Credits.

OK, found it.
I show 126 units there, only 2 are 'received',
and one of those shows an error.
In the BOINC client(s), I show 20 WUs returned.

In Boinc the credits are calculated differently AND they are granted
differently. At least 3 users MUST return the same work unit  with
only slight variations in the amount of credit requests or the unit is
sent out to mroe computers until a verifiable crdit amount is
established. For instnace 1st computer asks for 300 points, 2nd asks
for 55 and 3rd asks for 35, something seems to be wrong with the 1st
computer, so the unit is sent back out for other computers to
establish what amount is correct. When at least 3 computers have
returned the same unit within the allowable variance, Berkeley is NOT

Well it might be nice if S@Hboinc actually sent the WU's out of
PC's/Machines
that process them at similar speeds. If someone is presently crunching 20
WU's
per day, but the other 2 machines are only crunching 2 WU per day then the
20 WU per day cruncher is going to be waiting a damm long time for his/her
credits:-/

The problem with this is if they implemented this and the person that
is crunching the same speed as you has a system crash and isn't up for
a while! You are waiting until someone else is found with your same
speed to send the units too and what if they too have a crash!!!
Too many possibilities and potential if's!
Just hold on and all will work out, we are in this for the long run
not a real fast burn and burn out.
Your idea was suggested and rejected in the Beta process, I don't know
if it was actually tried, but the Scientists said no.
