I found squeelie and richard so far, have a page and a half 600 units pending. Is this BOINC or BONK? You can find me under michaelpr, strictly on SETI for the moment. I checked the non credited work units and up popped their PC ID and OS. Party line or crossed wires?

I have 3 pages of messages and 600 outstanding credits. I went to the pending ones and discovered a squeekie and a richard on windows OS if thats of help. I am on a MAC G5 and this unit runs 24/7 since joining. At this writing it is around 3250 units. The credits are one thing. Having multiple names pop up as the identifying computer is baffling. Possible corrupt BOINC install? My other units seem to log in fine. If I can clear the unreal amount of messages from units pending etc, that may shed some light on things. Thank You

When I look at your pc's I only see one. Do you have more than one Boinc account? We cannot see any names, only you can. Like if you click on my name you will see numbers no names, but believe me they all have names, Seti 1, Seti 2, Boinc 1, Boinc 2, etc.

If you are looking at pending credit, and you click on one of the results, and on the Work Unit, you can see all of the computers that are working on that WU, not just yours.

Each WU is sent to several computers and the results are compared to make certain that the science is actually getting done. During Classic, the validation occurred later, and sometimes there was no agreement about the result.

AH. insight. I have a mac G5 1.8ghz. I see why things are backing up. Recommend a team? Itried Team USA ande the graphics just jumbled. Beyond that, all units are being crunched.

I have 1 Mac G5 1.8ghz and to my knowledge one BOINC account. It does list attachments to 3 or 4 other projects. Approaching Team USA, the base screensaver appeared to be out in deep space and illegible
