Does this indicate an error, that my result can't be validated?

Hi!

We are talking about this WU, I guess http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/34278317

No, there's nothing wrong with your result as far as I can tell, it was just bad luck that two of the PCs that were picked crunch on the same workunit crashed out in sequence. The deadline for the next "wingman" is now almost reached, so validation could happen anytime now, hopefully.

No, you've just been unlucky

No, you've just been unlucky about who you've been paired with on it.

Your fisrt wingman never returned as result. Your second and 3rd either had computer problems or deliberately canceled it. Number 4 seems likely to be another never return. In 2 days it'll be issued again to someone else. It;s nothing you've done, nothing you have control over, but eventuallyou will get credit for it. I've had several WUs linger for 6 or 7 weeks in the past.

You are lucky that you have

You are lucky that you have just one WU pending. I currently have 25 WUs pending!! I hope that they will soon be validated or I might just give up on Einstein and switch to something else.

eeyore, just be patient

eeyore, just be patient please. You have some seriously powerful computers that are hauling ass and getting workunits done faster than anyone else. You will reach equilibrium.

Yeah, with my quad I've gone up to 20,000 pending credits when it gets an "early jump" on data packs. Just give it a little, once your wingmen catch up your RAC will skyrocket.

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers. - Richard Feynman

jowr and Dave

jowr and Dave Burbank,

Thanks for the info. I'll give things a bit of time and see what happens. One of the other things that has me worried are the number of people that aren't completing their WUs. It's not as though there are that many of us to start with in the group and it would be dissapointing to see too many quit.

Thanks again,

Eeyore

...there are over 50.000 hosts active in the last 7 days (according to the status page)...
its vacation time...
some hosts can't handle 660-credit-WUs...
some hosts don't run 24/7 during summer...
