My first FredNotFred WU, Project: 6076 (Run 0, Clone 18, Gen 28), got no Bonus.
It looks I was credited 481 points for it.
Why ?

Now I'm crunching thru a -bigadv WU, Project: 2683 (Run 5, Clone 6, Gen 72), will it get a Bonus ?

Are you using a passkey? Have you completed 10 a2/a3 WUs using that passkey & UserName with at least an 80% success rate?

Bonus points are awarded at the time the WU is credited, so if you didn't get a bonus, don't expect it to show up later.

Yes, yes and yes.
I have complete successfully dozens..
A couple of hours latter, I got a bonus with p6054-0-155-9 with the same username and passkey.

If I had no passkey would I be issued a -bigadv ?

I don't believe that the passkey is used to restrict assignments so without a passkey, you can be issued -bigadv but you wouldn't get a bonus.

Did your passkey change? Was the WU assigned while the Assignment Server was having its recent problems?

For that particular WU, no passkey was provided by your client upon assign. Your other returns around that time did have a passkey and were given the bonus. The client needs to provide the passkey at the time of assign as well as WU return.

Ok, thank you, it explain what appened.

Sinse this was my first WU with FredNotFred, it was assigned by the generic Username provided by FredNotFred.
I reconfigured and restarted without killing the WU, I taugh this was the ethical thing to do.
It returned with My username and passkey.

Not dumping the WU, penalized my points, but science won in the end. That's life ! No regrets.
