I dedicated more than 60 days of computer time to World Community Grid but I still have only one badge for FightAIDS@Home. I suspended this projects 3 weeks ago and dedicated my computers to the other projects (before that I had an even split on all projects). Why do I get no new badges although even theoretically I should have at least 3 by now?

To get most badges, you need to return 14 days worth of work for that project. This means that to get all the (current) available badges, you will have to do at least 1680 hours of work - 70 days. Because you won't get an even mix of work, in practice it is going to take longer.
So, it should take a few months. Be patient, and one day they will show up. By the way, there is an "edit" link in the top left of your posts, should you ever make a typo. |

Every person I have seen who has posted a concern about getting a badge has found that within a few days, their badge show up. While the requirement is 14 days, you can be 1 second short of the 14 days and not have a badge until you finish the next WU. In the last few weeks, you could be a minute short of your 14 days for FAAH and get a 2 day WU next to get your badge. You could have used 16 or 17 days to get your FAAH badge which changes the ratio of time used (60-17=43) to the time needed for the 4 other badges (4*14=56).
----------------------------------------Anyway if you are committed to being a part of this project for a long time, whether you get your badge today or next week is of little consequence. Be patient. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 16, 2008 1:30:23 PM] |

Martin, you're about 3 days of run time away from your HPF2 badge, and about 2 days of run time away from your DDDT badge. |

Mention: those are Validated WU not Pending Validation. Thank YOU! You say "project", which one are you referring to? I'm assuming the Nutritious Rice for the World project since you just got the badge for that one. People are so anxious!  |
