Is this occuring with anybody elses accounts and does anybody know what the problem might be? Adagio Daniel, Which project/projects are you running? Many of the projects have built-in redundancy (several host machines crunching the same workunit), and require a quorum to be established before calculating granted credit. If you go to your account page and click on "view results", then click on the workunit ID of one of your completed workunits, you should be able to see what other hosts are co-crunching with you.

When I look at the the RESULTS FOR USER page and there is a 'pending' under 'granted credit' this mean that a quorum of computers has to have completed the work unit. The quorum number seems to be 4 at present. This mean that when the last work unit has been returned for a particular quorum the credit is then granted and can suddenly appear in TOTAL CREDIT in BOINC Manager. Is this the way it works?
