Hi When I upgraded hardware & Linux version last year, the new system name registered with Boinc somehow had the domain name left off. As a result I have 2 systems - system.domain (old) & system (new). Is there any way to combine the credit of the two? Alternatively, can I change the registered name and combine the credit this way? |

Yes, you can combine them, but it's tricky. Easiest thing to do in your situation: Old sys: system.domain New sys: system. 1. Stop BOINC 2. Change the name of your computer to: system.domain 3. Restart BOINC & contact projects (click Update) 4. Merge computers on website Let me know if you need specifics. |
