    Just a question as to what happens if the third member of the albert qourm fails to report or complete by the deadline. How is the credit calculated for the other people?

    I'm wondering because one of my WU's has a deadline on the 16th and only two people including myself have completed it.

      A 4th user gets the result. He will have 14 days time to complete it. If he
      doesn't make the deadline the result is sent out again until 3 results
      are returned. Now the validator runs and checks, if all three are equal. If so,
      credit is granted.

      This can be quite complex. You might want to read the WIKI section about forming a quorum.

        Thanks Michael
        I'll just have to wait and see.
