Hi there

I have been a SETI@home user for some years and lately switched to BOINC. While being at it I created accounts for LHC@home and climateprediction.net. All accounts are associated with this mailadress: boinc AT janus DOT dk

But I have a problem: While my account for SETI@home and LHC@home share the same "Cross-project ID", my climateprediction account has its own "Cross-project ID". Kindda paradox.

Any suggestion how this could happen and what to do?

Each project randomly generates a cross project ID. After a few connections, at least 2 per project, they will all be the same. Whenever you sign up for a new project the CPID may change or the old one may be given to the new project.

So just wait it will fix itself eventually.

To get all of the CPIDs to be the same, there must be some path from project server to host to project server to host ... that gets to all of the projects. If there is not, then there will be two or more distinct pools.

Examples:

Host 1 is attached to CPDN and LHC and S@H. At this point it doesn't matter what any other hosts are attached to, this host can take care of all of the updates.

Host 1 is attached to CPDN and LHC. Host 2 is attached to LHC and S@H. In this case there is still a path, but it will take longer to synchronize.

Host 1 is attached to CPDN. Host 2 is attached to LHC. Host 3 is attached to S@H. There are no other hosts with more connections. In this case the CPIDs will never synchronize.
