Who is responsible for redirecting credit to another project I am not participating in?

He has 908 credits listed at Einstein.

Either you have a computer with this as an extra project, or someone else is crunching there under your account. Credits are not moved between projects.

[edit]

The account name at Einstein is CD.

It appears someone has taken care of this. The Boinc Stats credit pie charts are no longer showing another project. Thanks.

The most logical explaination is that he crunched for Einstein for a short time in 2006 since the RAC is 0 and that when that account was created. He must have used the same email he had in '06 since it shows up in his participating accounts here which mean it is using the same cross project ID. It also wouldn't show up in the accounts here and at Einstein unless both project were on the same computer at some time. The user name is irelevant as the Email address is the account identifier.

You could go to Einstein and access the account using the email you were using for Boinc in '06 (if still active) and have the project send you the access code or password to get into the account. You will then be able to check the computer being used and other account information.
