    What is all this scoring about at Pi Segment? Score, Reward and Credits??????? Also what is the most Credits I can earn?

    The max point you can claim and earn is 20.000. When you reach that MAX you will remain there as long you run the project, Say you have 20.000 points and download 100 who is max your points sunk to say 10.000 but then you build it back to max. point. You lose nothing. The most important is the rewarded credit whish descrase solong you stay with the project. If you stop run it your credit is as it is and fixed.

    I think Just can explain more or perhaps NeoGen as always know how it works.

    Great Just!

    Free-DC stats shows many variants of PI Segments rank, contributors, points, Top cruncers of today and so on. Perhaps it can collect more peoples to your project

    To put it simply... credits is "money" on the project. You "buy" a workunit with 100 credits and "sell" it for 150 after beeing crunched. (or 120 if you upload it past the deadline). And because workunits cost credits, everyone starts with 1,000 credits at start.

    The score is the real points for this project. It's what we compete on.

    Reward is the points people gained from the beta rounds. Because it would be bad if the stats were reset, the points were given as reward now that the project is in full production.

    I think I once heard that the 20,000 credits limit was a bug to be corrected, but I'm not sure... I'll look into that. In terms of score naturally there's no limit, and in terms of reward it's static now and just for display, as the beta rounds are over.

    There must be a bug in the credits because I got to 20,000 and now I'm backing up. Sounds like a debit instead of a credit..

    Your looking at the wrong number. That system is run by uploads not credits. Check the uploads in total and in last 24 hours. Look at Lagu's tag above. "Score" 2583, "Credits" 14800. Score comes from uploads and some that were carried over from testing. Credits are just so someone don't download 500,000 wu's and then dump them.

    Exactly. Credit is only used to prevent over-download and we currently set the limit to 20000. Generally, credit is meaningless in rank.

    reward is normally static but I may plan to increase it to thank "old" user.

    Perhaps, we should change "credit" to another word to eliminate confusion. Could you give me some suggestions about the new word?

    Your system makes perfect sense once you understand it. Although I admit I had to read through a couple threads to understand it. No need to change it, just make sure there's a legend defining what each column means.

    Should you like to change it, I offer these suggestions:

    Total Score, Tester's Reward, Download Credit

    Another word for credit might be bank.

    How about this...

    Total Credit, Testing Credit, Download Bank

    Instead of Testing you could use Beta...Beta Credit.

    Total Credit, Beta Credit, Download Bank
