Hi,

I am new to this project, my first trickle finally went through, and when I checked my account it said that claimed credit is 0.00 for that trickle (obviously granted credit is also 0.00 as a result)

I have been reading the message boards and it says you get credit for each trickle. Is there a problem?

I\'m only asking because it took 17 hours to get to that first trickle, and the zeros in claimed credit was a little disheartening!

info in case it is needed....

Result ID is 1442910
Work Unit 946066
My computer ID is 303891

Boinc version 5.2.13 (running as service)
application sulphur_cycle 4.22

Windows XP Pro SP2 (multiple users)
CPU is AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+

Credit is not instant. It is granted by a program which runs every 12 hours.
Also, trickles are no longer instant. These are transferred from the upload server by another program, which runs every 1/2 hour.

Hi Les,

Thanks for that info. The trickle left my machine several hours ago. I suppose I was expecting to see something like the other projects I do, such as

Claimed credit: anything but zero
Granted credit: pending

not just zero in both. I\'ll have another look tomorrow then, and give it time to update.

Thanks again

eventually I\'m hoping for a faster trickle turnaround/credit time, but Tolu & I are totally swamped at least until February.

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your comment. The credit appeared overnight. I\'m not hung up on getting credit or anything like that! I was just initially unsure that my crunching was doing anything useful (or anything at all).

I will just have to be more patient!

Thanks again.
