I'll look into this. It may indicate a problem with our validator.

Looks like everything is well -- just be patient. You have to wait until some other users have finished the same WU so they can be validated.

Mullard,
I answered your older posting here.

Mike, your machine is doing a nice job of crunching away! It normally takes around ten days to two weeks before your WU are finished by two others, and you get credit. So just be patient: I predict that in the next week you'll start getting a very steady stream of credits.
(FWIW, see the front page FAQ on this subject as well.)
Cheers,
Bruce
PS: I see that you've got close to a thousand credits already ... so as you can see it does work as advertised (at least most of the time, for most people!).
