It is almost beyond my comprehension how I'm getting any Credits at all ... between the following I'm starting to get quite frustrated with this Project ... :(

1. Invalid WU's ... I have no idea why, the ones that are invalid take the same amount of time as the ones that are valid ... And there's no reason given either if you look at the WU Result ID ...

2. 0:00 Time WU's turned in so no Credit is granted ...

3. WU's turned in with the Correct Time but you still get no Credit because your paired with somebody that didn't turn in a Timed one ...

4. WU's turned in with the correct Time but your paired with somebody that turned in a real low time so you end up with 0.67 Credit for a WU that took you 10 hours to run ...

I really like this Project and will continue to support it but the urge is constantly there & very strong to just say screw it and head on out to another Project where the Credit System is a little more Civilized & Realistic...

It's one thing to lose Credits over a short period of time, but this has been going on ever since the Project came back on-line and I really don't see any end to it, nor do I believe the Dev's know when the Credit Problem will end either ...

0.67 credit, PB? You're lucky. I usually get no more than 0.01 or 0.02 ;)

Well, but for my latest one

One of the reasons to visite a/the Forum, is to learn english.

That english what I'm lucky to read, differs some times quite a lot of the
schoolbook english.

PoorBoy, don't be frustrated, you just give me a very good english lesson, at least the first part I noted it for ever.....

Would you like to go to seti?

there is/was no server, no work, no url, no forum --> nothing nada

Do you know the 3 leg ant? Exactly that we are doing. Walking on three legs, but we ARE walking.

You have the 2nd highest RAC of all 6000+ people, so what do you whant more!

Probaly there are 5998+ people (the meute) wishing to be at your place...

No reason to water the pants

happy and dry chunching

That really doesn't mean anything Ric other than I'm allocating more Resources to the Project than other people are. I can see the amount of computers some of these other people have & it would be easy for them to over take me if they wanted to ...
