I am used to finished results staying in "pending Validation" until at least one wingman also comes up with the same result. Then it is proved "valid," we get credit, and life goes on.
----------------------------------------I recently reconnected to CEP2, was checking the status and found my first completed WU was already valid. Surprised at how quick it was I clicked the box I found there was no wingman: E224082_ 493_ K.24.C17FH8N3OSSe.01277709.3.set1d06_ 0-- Now getting curious I clicked on a bunch more that are in progress and a bunch of mine are flying solo. I can understand a newly generated WU might not have a Siamese twin yet, but one of mine was validated alone. Is this an issue?  |

In short, nope, not a problem.
----------------------------------------CEP works with validation system (I believe its called it zero quorum) where after your machine has proven itself to be reliable it no longer gets wingmen, except for the occasional one to make sure you're still sending back valid results. This way the project gets more total results. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Yarensc at Jul 29, 2014 1:13:32 AM] |
