Invalid WU

[Quadophile]

How would one go about explaing the following WU? This is first for me.

Is the result void for my account?

If, so why the credit was granted?

Did I do anything wrong?

How to avoid it?

No, it happens sometimes - as long as the majority of your results are OK then there isn't a problem


An invalid result means:
The information that you sent back to the server did not validate against the other workunit results that have come back from other members. - you still recieve credit for this.

And for your info:

An inconclusive results means:
They have not been validated yet. They are labelled inconclusive because the minimum amount of results needed to be returned back for validation has not happened. This means that the quorum needed to validate a workunit has not been met. Usually this is caused by one or more results being invalid (ie one like yours! ) and not comparing to the other results.
What happens then, is they send out the unit to be crunched again, and it may take a bit longer for you to get the credit.

If you get an Error Result, you will not get any points.

Hope this helps Quad

The result you returned on my post is unquestionably valid! :

Just remember Quad, as a result of your invalid result, then someone else somewhere is going to have a inconclusive result.

*Ady searches his inconclusive results to check*

Your lucky Quad - its not me...
