Re: Getting BETA work

TPCBF,

Your post is a little short of detail. Unless they disappeared off the results list more than 24 hours ago, there is still time.

The techs run a special beta result sweep script at some point(s) to give credit even for WUs for which you would not normally get any time credit. (It's a beta after all, so even errors are providing useful information. And don't forget that the validator itself needs to be tested as well, so things can go wrong with assigning good/bad result status too.)

Sometimes that sweep seems to be a short time after they switch on the validator, sometimes it doesn't seem to happen until just before they all disappear from the list. So if the result is still visible you should get the credit in the end -- just be patient.

Good to know there is credit for error wu's. I had a bunch of them last go around.
