I am a Seti@home user for more 3 years now. Last month I decided to switch to the "BOINC" platform.

I am experiencing a very stange problem to which one of you boinc guru's may have the solution.

I am runnig boinc for more than a month now, and i haven't received ANY credit yet. I am sure i have uploaded some results, and the computers i am running boinc on are calculating even as I am writing this message.

I am running boinc on 2 machines, both machines are SMP machines (abit bp6 and asus a7m266-D motherboards).

Does somebody knows how to get credit for all of my crunched wu's ?

Greetz,

Tnx for the quick reply, memnoch.

They really ought to keep us (the people that actually make this project possible) more informed on the progress and the problems.

An up to date FAQ that deals with all the "weird problems" that are consequences of known issues, should help to keep the "Questions and Awnsers" section of this project focussed ond the main goal: helping new users on their way, as well.

I have been running SETI for over 3 years now, and the way they "pushed" us from classic to BOINC, along with the way they keep us "informed" on the progress on BOINC, feels disrespectfull.

I hope they actually READ this feedback and DO something with it.

Grtz,

FuX
