Hi there,
my Wu from yesterday (18029) got invalidated, any clue why?

Looks like there could be a problem with the validator.

That was the _1 task from WU 10039 and was created when the _0 task missed its deadline. The _0 task ran for less than 14 hours of the 120 hour period to its deadline and was reported a bit over 2 hours after the _1 task was issued. The WU has quorum=1 and maximum successful tasks=4 and the _1 task was returned well before its deadline so I'd have expected it to have validated.

That suggests any host which runs BOINC for less than 24 hours in the 120 hours after downloading a WUProp task is likely to cause problems.

Edit: Or maybe not. I've just spotted Sebastien's post yesterday (here) announcing that tasks which run for less than 24 hours would be invalidated. Your task ran for 86342.448542 seconds, just under a minute less than 24 hours. If that's the cause it seems very harsh to me for a task sent at 07:58:15 UTC and completed at 07:59:24 UTC (09:59:24 CEST) the next day.

Probably Thymes answer was correct and it got corrected as well, at least it's now valid :D
THX!

Thymes was right.
There is a problem with the validator. I validated manualy this wu (and any others) and granted credits for this wu.

Sorry for the inconvenience
