I just looked at my pending credit for the first time in some time - I\'m just about to bring online some new PCs for CPDN, having neglected it a bit recently.

My pending credit says I\'ve 55,000 or so credit due.

The weird thing is that some of it is from hosts I\'ve long since retired - like months or years ago.

When I investigate the \'pending\' results, I think they all say that they have validated OK, e.g.
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=828422
was from a computer whose motherboard failed, and so the host no longer exists, but there\'s apparently 6.5k of credit sitting there in the pending credit, although the result ID says the credit has been granted?

Can anyone suggest what might be going on?

Thanks.

There is no such thing in this Project as unawarded credit. You receive credit for each and every Trickle your machine(s) send up.

\'Pending\' has to do with the many other boinc Projects which fail to award credit until multiple runs of the same work are reported. CPDN doesn\'t play that game; here, you do the work, you get the credit. Period. CPDN merely uses the general-purpose boinc template for the page you see.

HTH.

It does, thanks. I\'ll just ignore that link from now on : )

I have over 126,000 cobblestones pending.

On closer look it is listing all Work Units (9) that are currently classed as active and have not returned a final result.

I have 3 listed that crashed last year and early this year but no longer exist. CPDN thinks I still have them and is showing them as active.
The other 6 are current and active.

None of my completed work units appear in the list.

So nothing really to worry about and astroWX\'s post backs this up.

The server state, outcome and client state descriptions are certainly not always reliable/true for cpdn models. I still have no idea whether this is a boinc or cpdn problem. If we start to discuss this with the boinc experts it will have to be when we have a lot of free time ahead...........

But the cpdn trickle records seem completely reliable and also the awarding of credits. You trickle = you get the credits automatically.

These are CPDN idiosyncrasies. CPDN does not use the standard BOINC mechanisms for credit handling so the various standard indicators are not reliable on this project and should mostly be ignored.

Thanks. It\'s useful to know that there\'s a reason and these are not random errors or a sign that something\'s gone wrong.
