I have several workunits where both initial replication tasks have been sent to the same computer.

Examples:
Workunit 18294 - Tasks 41024 and 41025 have both been assigned to computer 139.
Workunit 18357 - Tasks 41150 and 41151 have both been assigned to computer 139.

I'm assuming this is an assignment error, as it'd be kinda pointless to have quorum of 2 from the same computer.

Me too.

This is not an issue. No resources are being wasted. LODA does random mining, not a structured or exhaustive search. As long as the miners are running, they can produce meaningful results (no duplicate work is done).

If you are saying that the 2 copies of the workunit do different work, what is the point of sending out 2 copies?
How can they be valided againtst each other?
It would be beter to set replication to 1 in that case.

Yes, we'll review the job configuration. Thanks for your feedback!

I have made the following configuration change:

<one_result_per_user_per_wu>1</one_result_per_user_per_wu>

(it was 0). Should that fix the problem?

If the nature of work done at LODA makes replication redundant, I would suggest setting initial replication and minimum quorum to 1 instead. Or at the very least, use Adaptive Replication.

Thanks for your feedback. Do you mean like this?

Should do as 0 in terms of what is allowed by BOINC usually means, "no restriction."

Yes, I have reverted that (back to 0)

Are these supposed to be a replication of 1 now?

I just downloaded and ran several today and they are still 2.

I think that is still an old WU. Here a new one:

Thank you. That should do it.
