With the migration to the new scheduler and the bug in the validator aparently we lost quite a number of (pending) credits which we couldn't revive. Sorry folks, but this is alpha test.

Yeah, I got 3.700 cobblestones, but I didn't watch if this was the whole pending credit.
As BM said, it's Alpha, so it's okay, if some cobblestones are lost.
Maybe, they decide to reset all credits to zero with going live, we will have to accept this; it's Alpha.
(1) When I shifted to using the new scheduler yesterday and cancelled some existing workunits/results, I gave credit whenever possible to sucessful results.
(2) Just to repeat it again: unless something goes badly wrong (eg, I make a mistake) our test users will keep their credits when we go public.
