No points

[vonboedefeldt]

Hi folks,
I have done some long running wus in the last days, and instead of getting "result: success", got no points.
What is the matter?

Greets,

vonboedefeldt

Can you please post the id of the result?

It's because you claimed too much, more than 10 times more than your wingman who got credits.

[vonboedefeldt]

How did I do this? I thought the prog does.

What I don't quite understand is that vonboedefeldt delivered a correct result and that only one of the two WUs required by the project was counted.
You can see it clearly here:

Minimum quorum 2
Initial replication 2

So the project requires that two correct WUs be submitted, or am I misunderstanding this? Why does only one of the two correct WUs receive credit?

And why punishing with zero points unstead of the minor recommebded?

...thatt appear strange, of course.

Please note that NOTHING is done manually, so whyever this happened, it is fully autmated - and nobody want to "punish" you for anything, here.
I am also quite sure, Yoyo will take another look into why this zero-crediting happened - maybe there is an issue in the system here...

So it is a selfprogramming program?

[yoyo]

There are a lot of cheater around. Therefore if your BOINC client claims more than 1000 credits you get only 1000 and if you claim more than 10000 credits, you get 0.
Validation of the results is independent of it.

[yoyo]

I changed the wu generator to make smaller workunits. I hope this solves it for the next batch of workunits.

BOINC server & client software foremostly are programs, we did not develop and do not maintain.
