I agree with SVK Noko. It's obvious that the "wait time" needs to be improved. And yes of course the goal should be to have instant/immediate sync and payment if possible. Users/investors LOVE technology that is responsive and easy to use. Users/investors HATE technology that is difficult to use and requires a lot of patience to accomplish the goal.

Most of us aren't devs/programmers, so we can't provide specific instructions on how to fix it. However our job as users/investors is to give honest feedback so developers can develop the solutions.

What we need to work out is options.

Currently we're tied to a few things syncing (CPID if using multiple projects, Nightly Superblock, and stake balance/PODC update).

I believe WCG updates the web stats once a day? This is another limiting factor... unless someone can find a way to pull real-time stats.

Thanks. I don't know which web stats would need to be updated or if WCG can provide the real-time info needed.

Here's some info on their API that might help to find out what exact data they provide:

World Community Grid statistics are updated twice a day. This occurs at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC. This includes all statistics on World Community Grid except for Team Statistics. For BOINC, statistics data is exported 4 times a day at 6 hour intervals. See https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/printpost_post,377053 and stored at the address http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/stats/

The crontab entry for the export stats update:

16 0,12,18 * * * /usr/local/boinc/scripts/gen_stats.sh
16 6 * * 1,2,4,6 /usr/local/boinc/scripts/gen_stats.sh

This means that the stats are updated every 6 hours EXCEPT on Wednesday and Sunday at 6:16 UTC. It is skipped at that time because that is when our database backup is run. Thus this morning, the job was skipped. I just verified and the 12:16 run of the stats was completed and the stats were updated 1 hour ago (completed at 12:32 UTC)

Team Statistics are updated once a day at 00:00 UTC.

The multiple updates a day will continue as long as the statistics update does not significantly interfere with members use of the site or overall system performance.
