I searched several message boards (BOINC, Einstein, Seti, etc) and the wiki, but did not find an answer.

When will credit show on our account?

1. When the WU is uploaded?
2. when the "Ready to report" is gone from the client?

My experience is that after the upload the "Ready to report" will stay until the work buffer time is up. No credit appears. However, if I do UPDATE then the "Ready to report" goes away and credit gets logged.

I am trying to get to 100,000 credits (only need 2k). Getting impatient on getting credits. :-)

Thanks in advance

You get credit after a quorum has been met and the WUs are validated, this process may take up to 2 weeks.....

BOINC Wiki

Also search the wiki for "upload process" which explains that part of the puzzle ...

The Wiki is your friend ... :)

Since Shane is attached to a number of projects we should add that the credit award system varies. For example, in climateprediction credits are awarded on the 'trickles' up to the server. These are sent automatically, and the credit run is currently done daily.

Thanks for comments. I did look at wiki. That tells me the technical process. My question is more simplistic. Let me but out a scenario for a single WU.

1. Assume quorum is 3 and and that 2 are done.
2. I process this WU and it "Uploads" and my client shows "Ready to Report"
3. my client cycles through regular update based upon defaults and WU disappears from client.

Credit should be validated and processed quickly, since quorum is meet.

Question? will I see credit on my "Your Account" page after step 2 or after step 3?

Just Curious,

Just Curious,

The credits are issued after all results for an individual WU have been returned. When the system is working as it should, this occurs within a few day. I tried to check the specifics of your work but your computer is hidden.
