sure was only on one comp so give me my trophy backI thought I might have been in with a chance yesterday, but it looks like I have got a stack of jobs awaiting validation, so I guess I don't get the ponts until they are confirmed.Adywebb said:Looks like the Trophy is back with me (temporarily) - yesterday I returned 6,438 points with 13 results on my X2 machine.
I will hold the trophy until CI woops it with his X2 4800

Back to me again.....
Sorry Chelsea
- I'm afraid the Trophy is back with me again - yesterday my X2 machine returned 7,581 points with 13 results! 
(NB. For the benefit of those who aren't familiar with the way Boinc works, and find these returns almost unbelievable - I will briefly explain:
When the WCG UD Agent completes a result, you get the points immediately - therefore what your machine produces during a particular day is immediately reflected in the Stats, and your daily totals are very similar.
With Boinc, the results require validation before points are calculated and applied to your daily points total - in some cases this can take several days.
Therefore if all these results awaiting validation get validated and the points allocated on the same day, then your points total for that particular day is going to be exaggerated - hence these big scores above.
This is why your daily totals vary significantly - some days your points total is lower than normal, then the next alot higher.
So to get a huge total you just need loads of pending results to get validated on the same day - easy eh? )

)Cheers for the explanation Ady, that might explain the huge drop in my figures last week. I guess I was just stocking up jobs which are now beginning to go thru' the validation process.
Are the jobs validated by other BOINC users? If so, I hope you get my jobs (and vice-versa) otherwise we will never clear the backlog

The jobs are validated once 3 others have also submitted the result - they then discard the top and bottom score and you get an average of the middle two.CITech said:Cheers for the explanation Ady, that might explain the huge drop in my figures last week.

Therefore you are reliant on the time the 3 others take to submit the result - if they use slow machines, or pre-stack jobs ('WU Hogs') - then it can take a few days or even longer
If you have a look at the new 'Results Status' page under Device Manager at your WCG page, then it tells you all boinc jobs currently working/pending validation/Validated etc ...
For instance I still have a job awaiting validation since 27 Jan
- what I am unsure about is if the 3 other results fail to be submitted, whether its just tough luck and you don't get the points - I will endevour to find out
