Well, 1shadow1, it seems to me that you are using your name 1shadow1 only for posting in the forum, 'cause https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/viewMemberInfo.do?userName=1shadow1 doesn't show any devices (as in a zero count). So there will be no contributions (and no future badges) under your forummembername, unless proven otherwise.

Hi 1shadow1,

Whenever a new person joins (or, for that matter, someone who's been here for a very long time adds a new computer), all work sent to that person's computer(s) needs to just be checked/verified for sanity purposes - as there's no point in sending unreliable results back to the scientists. In due course, and depending on which sciences you decide to crunch, some will start to send "zero-redundancy" work units - meaning that, for that particular science/computer it has been checked/verified to "go it alone".

Therefore, this basically means that, work that you/your computers have returned, may have to wait for a few days in a state of "Pending Validation/Verification", until the corresponding Work Unit that was sent to someone else's computer has been returned and verified against yours. Once both Work Units have been returned, compared against each other and verified, then, after, the next statistics run (which occurs at mid-day/mid-night UTC time - and, particularly for the mid-night run, can take a while to complete), you'll start getting credited for the work completed.

If you go to "My Contribution" | "Results Status" and click on the "Time Due / Return Time" column, you should see all the work your computers have returned sorted latest first - and, you should see that the status will either say "Pending Validation" or "Pending Verification". As indicated above, only when you start seeing the status of "Valid", will the totals start accumulating after the next statistics run.

Hopefully, the above makes sense. Basically though, unless you're seeing anything other than "Pending Validation", "Pending Verification" or "Valid", there's nothing to be overly concerned about.

Currently, with just 2 computers (8 cores) running, i've got a relatively short list of 10 Work Units stilling in "PV Jail" - all awaiting their respective "wingman" to return their Work Unit.

Congratulations 1shadow1 - you've now got some 'points on the board' (i.e., 2 WU's have been validated - with plenty more to come I'm sure).
