As there are jobs being issued at this time. I would like to suggest a Re "calibration" For example Results which are set and the outcome is finalised. 0 credits as it is a recalibration run. This may iron out any if any bugs in a system. |

Welcome aboard, dougnut dunk. Those that have been here for a while accept that work avaiability is intermittent which makes any work we get all the more exciting but we need to know that the work is worthwhile and not just repeat work to placate those only interested in the credits and not the science. If by "recalibration" you mean sending out work that already has a known outcome but not give any credit for it, then, Firstly: each work unit already goes out to 5 hosts and the first 3 valid results returned form a quorum so the work is already being tested across various platforms so sending out such work again would be of no scientific benefit, and secondly [sarcasm]Not giving any credits is sure to bring people running[/sarcasm] |
