There were 4 entries in my account for one of my computers so to tidy up I merged them, but hey presto, all my credit has gone (about 15,000). Now after a few minutes another has popped up fo i have two with the same name but now only 12 credits instead of the original 15K

Is this normal?do I get my credit back after an overnight run?

I'm glad I read this before merging. 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.

I was able to merge two of my comps but I used the "nomal" merging, not by name.
So my credits are still shown correctly.

But why the heck do I get:
10.04.2008 15:09:52|Milkyway@home|Generated new host CPID: 536745b67d2219425069566e92cca9e9?
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

Be careful when you merge. 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.

Oh well, host 337 will now become 11391 - if only my credits increased by the same percent!
