I just returned a pretty long work-unit (34 minutes, wu_1204273265_28_0_0). Unfortunately it does not appear on my account page and no credit was added to my Total. Is it lost? ____________

I think that Wormholio stopped some parts of the database from showing up, to make it more stable for the time being. Showing task details, pending credits etc. takes quite a bit of database 'time' to show in real time. With the DB already being that wobbly, it's probably better to temporarily being available. Work isn't lost, while you'll be credited when your task has met the quorum and the validator has passed over it. ____________ Jord. The BOINC FAQ Service.

Since years I was investigating, now I'm sure:

118,97% of the global human population are not able to perform percentage calculations!
