While today was a better than average day, especially for a weekend day, it was still a good day even when averaged in with yesterday. More good milestones again. It is extra nice to see Dave Bell hitting a milestone again! Looking at our Top Ten, I see old names, new names and recently returned names. That is nice to see as well. Barring any sudden changes, Alain Bryden should become our newest MOT millionaire this week while Rulkethecharon should follow in less than a month. They sure will not be the last either.

Tandis qu'aujourd'hui était meilleur le jour que moyen, particulièrement pendant un jour de week-end, c'était toujours une bonne journée même lorsque fait la moyenne dedans avec hier. Étapes importantes meilleures encore. Il fait extra beau de voir Dave Bell frapper une étape importante encore ! regardant nos Dix principaux, je vois de vieux noms, nouveaux noms et noms récemment retournés. Il est gentil voir ce comme bien excepté tous les changements soudains, Alain Bryden devrait devenir notre plus nouveau millionnaire de MOT cette semaine tandis que Rulkethecharon devrait suivre dans moins qu'un mois. Ils sûrs ne seront pas le bout non plus.

週末1 日より平均日、特に今日はよく間、昨日と平均されて時でさえよい日まだだった。よりよいマイル標石再度。Dave Bell マイル標石に再度当ることを見ることは余分に素晴らしい! 私達の最初の10 を見て、私は古い名前、新しいおよび最近戻された見る。それはよく Rulkethecharon 続くべきである間、 あらゆる突然の変更を除いて、Alain Bryden 私達の最も新しいMOT の大富豪は月よりより少しでなるべきであるこの週ように見てが素晴らしい。それらは本当に最後でない。

Mientras que hoy era mejor el día que medio, especialmente por un día del fin de semana, seguía siendo un buen día incluso cuando estaba hecho un promedio adentro con ayer. Jalones mejor otra vez. ¡Es extraordinariamente agradable ver Dave Bell golpear un jalón otra vez! mirando nuestros diez superiores, veo viejos nombres, nuevos nombres y nombres recientemente vueltos. Eso es agradable de ver como bien salvo cualquier cambio repentino, Alain Bryden debe convertirse nuestro más nuevo millonario de MOT esta semana mientras que Rulkethecharon debe seguir en menos que un mes. Él seguro no será el último tampoco.

Points per hour are affected by a number of things - how many machines you have, what kind of machines they are, what mix of project WUs you crunch among other things. There is good information in the Start Here forum on the validation process. Also, the other folks who get the same WU you do are a factor in when you do get credit for the WU. If you manage to crunch a WU within the first day or two after getting it and the other folks in the quorum don't crunch it until close to the Report Deadline date, you will have a bit of a wait for your points. Still, even then, you will eventually get them. Over the long term, your experience should be more consistent and steady than any few days alone. Also, if a WU goes to someone who fails to return it in time, the user t gets sent out to as a result has much less time to return it. I believe in those cases, such WU's don't get sent to just anyone but instead go to a list of known "good" machines. The validation process is needed to ensure WCG returns good science to the researchers.

I have to check my machines every day sometimes they wont send any results and i have to make it update. Sometimes they will have 5 or6 results that havent been sent in you just have to be patient

Yes, BOINC has different processes. When you complete a WU, it gets uploaded back to the server. That doesn't finish things though. Once the upload completes, you'll see the status change to Ready to Report. There's a separate process that periodically reports those - and often gets new work to download too. Once the WU has been reported, it will show in the Results Status as Pending Validation. If you are the third user returning that result successfully (or 15th for HPF2 WUs), you will complete the quorum and everyone who successfully returned the WU will get credits for that work once the validator task completes validating it (that is usually pretty quick). If you are not that user completing the quorum, you have to wait until that happens. How long you have to wait depends on how soon enough users crunch that WU to complete the quorum. The Report Deadline date you see in BOINC Manager is when you have to return the WU in order to get credit for it. Normally, that's pretty close to the same time the rest of the users who have that WU to crunch have to complete it. If you go to Report Status and click on the WU name, you can see the status of the other users. You can tell how many other users have the WU in Pending Validation and get a bit of an idea of how long you might have to wait on the WU to validate. If someone doesn't return that WU by their deadline, you'll see that it gets sent to another user but with a much shorter deadline - usually 1-3 tdays. The mix of WUs you have, how many you have in Pending Validation at any one time, and how long you "typically" have to wait for WUs in Pending Validation to complete will vary. I suspect that with more machines, you may see more variation but then too, the variation you see with one machine may "cancel out" another machine. You just have to wait things out once you return a result. Also, what you set your "Connect to server every x days" setting in your profile impacts how often your Ready to Report tasks get reported. The larger that value, the longer you have to wait for this to happen - unless you want to go around hitting the Update button on each machine to force things then.
