Greetings.

I am very new to BOINC and Einstein, and even newer to this helpful forum.

I suspect when I first signed up for participation in the Einstein project 
that I inadvertently took on two jobs or studies at the same time.  When I 
watch the elapsed time under the work tab, two activities are 
active/measured.

If this is the case, is it even pertinent to what I can contribute?  Am I 
slowing the results/credits of  wu(?) for someone else?

Sorry for the vagueness in terms here...I'm learning.

I don't believe if you are the last of 3 turning in a WU will only then 
all will get credit.I thought[there I go tinking again]that once your wu 
is verified then you get credit regardless of others doing same.
But if 3 do a WU and all 3 results or 1 of 3 results are different then 
I guess it may depend if you get credit.

Boinc users ONLY get credit after someone else, usually at least 2
someone elses, crunch the exact same unit AND have approximately the
same credit request upon completion.
