I have multiple cross-project id's. Is there a way to consolidate those?

There must be commonality between projects.

I am unsure how many projects you are running, but in order for the numbers to match, each project must be matched on a machine with one that has a common CPID.

Example is four projects, A, B, C, D

Machine 1 runs A, C
Machine 2 runs B, C
Machine 3 runs B, D

This will allow CPID to match, if you run only one project per machine, they will never match. It only needs to connect to the server a couple of times to make it work, so you can quickly run on unit off one machine to match for the ones that do not match.

Also apart from what Pooh Bear has mentioned, you must make sure that the same e-mail address is used at all the projects you are attached to.

All emails must be entered in lower case as well. Some projects do a conversion to lower case on entry, and others do not yet have this code. But all use the end result to hash with the internal CPID to generate an extrnal CPID.

Sorry to just jump in, I have a problem with the cpid as well. I am currently running only one project, have always been. How would that change the cpid?

If you change your email address, the CPID changes.

I havnt changed email address or anything, I reinstalled the os, and boinc, and now everything is goose eggs all the way. Also is there any way to get my old credits back?

You are running the account that has associated with your Classic credits. Everyone starts from 0 in BOINC. Did you have a different BOINC account with credits? If so, you have to choose which one to run. BOINC also has a time limit on how long it will wait for you to return work. This time limit varies from project to project and task to task.

Well whats odd is its the same version of boinc I had before, nothing has changed essencially. Be sad to loos over 100k in credits, no way to get them converted?

You probably created a new account somehow with a different email address.

only have one email address...

I found two account for Andy Michael. The one you're posting with contains only Classic credits. The other only Boinc credits. My guess is you had a typo in the email address when creating or attaching the Boinc account.

wouldnt the typo also cause failures to send emails? I am still getting emails from seti.

If you mean the 'come back to Seti' email, they are sent to dormant accounts (no recent Boinc credits). So the account containing the Classic credits is probably your true email. You have probably been crunching using a non-existing email (typo) account. This can easily occur if you attached using 'new account' instead of existing account when you started using Boinc.

Hmm....I guess that everything i had then is dead? or any way to recover it? And the email was to recover the lost password..it was running so long here i forgot what it was.

Only a direct appeal to the admins, explaining what has happened. The problem is getting passed their spam filters not to mention they are rather too busy to give personal assistance. You might try to get David Anderson on the Skype BOINC Online Help. I know that someone had a problem with their account and by chance ask him for help. The problem was resolved in minutes. That was nothing but luck as I doubt he has much time to spend on the help line.

duplicate post

Ok, thnx for the help I may try both of them see what happens. Would be sad to loose all the credits, but if all else hose everything and let me start anew would be ok with me...just the two acnts commin up are a bit confusing, and annoying.



P.S. Here is an odd thing, Look at both profiles. on the "DELL_SERVER" there is identical workunits posted on both accounts. one has credit one doesnt, both say done....this is drivin me nutz....heh

It has me completely befuddled.

I'm running BOINC on 3 different machines, all are participating only in the Seti project. I just found out that it says that my cpid is wrong, can't figure out why. Is it because of 3 different machines?
