(moderation:
I would like to know the reason why I got no credit for the workunit 33807733 (result ID 84602491) I sent on 29th of May. Since then I waited over 3 month becouse the other people had huge problems with this unit. Then on 31th of August at last someone sent it succesfuly. But for some reason I got an info that I received 0.00 credit. Please explain.

You're paired against 2 Linux machines. It's one of the things Einstein still has to fix, that when the same result is done on Windows and Linux, that all correctly returned results should get credit. At the moment only those with the same OS get credit.
RE: You're paired against 2

that's not correct any more...
the current applications (4.38 for Windows, 4.37 for Linux and 4.34/4.36 for Mac) produce results which are validated against each other independent of the OS!
On the system status page you can see that the number of invalid results is below 100.
With the old applications there were more than 2000 invalid results in the database.
Unfortunately the application version is connected with the WU. And as your WU is an old one (from may) it was processed with the old application (4.17 in your case) and didn't validate with the other 2 results.

Actually the result from may was Wojtek's and the wingman was using a more recent one. So it seems that the result computed in May was still affected by bug that caused the cross-platform-validation problem, but it took until now for two more wingman to submit valid results to get a quorum.
I understand it's somewhat unsatisfactory and "unfair" that your credits suffer from having used an app with a software bug (which in turn was caused by a compiler problem), but there's no way for the validator to know whether the validation mismatch was caused by a client bug, manipulation of the client, or a hardware failure.
