I had almost 26,000 credits when the classic version was ended. Now that I have started again with the BOINC version, (I logged in to make sure my points were applied) it only gave me about 35 initial credits for those previous 26,000 credits. Bear in mind that's multiple computers running Seti for years, and it only gave me around 35 credits. Yet now that I'm running BOINC for just a few days, and not half as many computers, I've gotten over 700 credits, why wasn't I given a more appropiate number for all the previous years when I first started? This really doesn't seem fair..... Three years of Seti classic = 35 credits, but four days of BOINC = 700+ credits, what's wrong with this credit system?

First the point will never be added together. Second the points are figured differently..in Classic you got one credit for finishing one unit, in Boinc you get credits based on how hard your cpu works to finish a project.
Also "enhamced" units are out now, they take longer and give many more points than standard units.

Actually you didn't. All that was counted was the amount of work units you finished. Classic never used credits.

Everyone starts Boinc with zero credits.The Classic credits are only displayed in your account as a momento, and will be kept separate from and not included in your
Boinc credits

The Classic accounts were linked to Boinc long before its closure. You would have to activate your Classic account using your Classic email and password. You cannot merge two accounts.

When I recently rejoined seti@home after an absence of 6 years I followed the instructions with my email account to claim my classic credit and I received credit for only :

SETI@home member since 5 Aug 2003
SETI@home classic work units 1
SETI@home classic CPU time 4 hours

This information & credit returned is incorrect!
Please refer to:

Could someone please correct this mistake

Did you perchance have 2 different accounts with different email addresses?

I originally joined SETI in 1998 (I think - could be 1999) with an email account as pongo@altavista.net. AltaVista closed their free email accounts in 1999 and could not log in any more because I lost my password.
I decided to call it quits after numerous attempts to make contact with SETI (I think their scanners was monitoring a deferent sector than email). I think I lost about + 16,000 hours CPU time
I started a new account with my current email address from scratch in 1999. At that stage I was working for a IT company building multi prog Intel servers and used to run SETI on the 3 R&D 8 Prog Intel Pro 200 (WOW!)
as a benchmark. This explains why I collected so many CPU time.
Since then my email account remained the same.
What happened to my credits between 1999 & 2003?

Is it possible that you accidentally created a second account around 2003? Perhaps then you continued unknowingly with the new account, and ended up combining that account to BOINC, while somehow leaving the old account dormant and unused.

More often than not, this is typically the reason why many users seemed to have lost credits and their original sign-up date at the same time.

I had a bad accident in 2002 and was in & out of hospital for 3 years. I could not work on any computer for this period and only acquired a computer in 2005.
I am doing SETI & others for the sake of science and not for the points but I think everybody deserve the credit he/she earned. I don’t mind losing it again --- at least my name appear in the classic credit listing
Thanks for your promp reply

JM7, is this something he could email one of the developers and have them fix?

Maybe Matt could fix it, but it is going to take a while, those are busy folks.
