Pending credit

[mitchellds]

I have 270k in pending points waiting to be validated. This number has doubled in the last 2 weeks. Did they change how they are awarding validated wu's or something? Anyone else noticed their pending credit increasing? I would sure like to have the credit, Poorboy is burning the project up all by himself.

What great output Poorboy

It is probably those wu's that have "Checked, but no consensus yet" status. Many of those don't give credit until 9 copies have been returned due to no matching results which triggers the workunit properties of 9 maximum results.

brian has reduced it from 9 to 7 we lowered the max number of results sent out to 7. This should shorten the wait on those hard-to-converge WUs yet still provide sufficient various hardware configurations to try and crack them.

I am up to 15,000 pending credit...

From 9 to 7 should help, it should probably be around 4-5 at the most. Thats kinda annoying beings set so high. It takes a good while to build up steam in this project when first starting.

I hate quorums... I know that they are necessary, but sheesh...

Dave,

Annoying is having a wu run for 3 days when 2.5 of those are spent at 90.204% finished and just having to blow it away. No credit for 240,884.67 cpu seconds.

I thought I had one that froze on me... It was stuck at 99.17% for a long time... I just let it go. It finally finished an hour or so ago. I was lucky... This one was only at about 15 hours...

Yep I was getting a little annoyed also. My goal was around 500k, so I stopped around there, and my pending credits ended up putting me over the 600k mark. I dont have any plans to return soon.

I got 700 pending credit (it's small i know, but it's a lot for me)
