So, before the credits were assigned based on the wu by us, which meant we had to compute the approximate time for each. This is a problem every time we change the workunit to another one of different length.
The current method gives credits based on the number of seconds that your client records for the wu multiplied by a number given by the application. This number should be always the same.
There have been at least a couple of cases in which there were strange results, like someone computed for 80,000 seconds and was granted only 88 credits :(,. This is time is the contrary. It is odd because the server should give what it is claimed provided that the result is valid.
We can come back to the previous method which seemed more reliable until we find a better way.
