I'll watch this thread to see the outcome. I noticed a new version of one of my hosts has appeared today, so something strange is going on - no pc changes whatsoever on my side. Also, I don't like the fact that the old host gets removed when merging - I like my relatively low host number. ID: 3083 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I guess the old host CPID's best before date was over? LOL EDIT: I also liked my quite low host numbers I had before. Too bad they're 'history' now. grin Lovely greetings, Cori ID: 3085 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I boosted computer id 13490 to 15,000 credits from somewhere around 300.

I boosted computer id 13490 to 15,000 credits from somewhere around 300. Hey, I merged my 50 machines with 50 of my older machines and lost 450,000 credits.. can you fix for me :) Just kidding. The merge function can cause credit to temporarily disappear, after about 24 hours of crunching it should correct itself. I have seen the same affect on other BOINC projects.. but credit does normally return after awhile. Don't know however it the credit re-appears on each and ever case. I have really never tracked it.
