Right... I'd take out that account ID if I were you. It's your personal one. If you leave it here, people can log in under your name, spam the boards, change (or delete) all your settings etc.

@Dunc... nice... will you then edit it out of the quote? ;)

Thats great... everyone jumped on him for posting his account key and no one bothered to answer his question? :)

nitelyon: you are seeing the difference between a work unit and a "cobblestone". The unit of credit in BOINC is called a "cobblestone". Each work unit is worth many cobblestones. Last time I checked the average seti@home work unit was worth about 30-40 cobblestones. If you look at your work units on the website a little closer you will se a "claimed credit" and "granted credit" column. If you add together all the granted credit for all the work units you have completed, it will add up to the 12,000 number you are seeing. Keep in mind however that work units are deleted from the online database after 7 days so you can't see all the ones you have done.
