Got about 8 million before I start idling. Until one day I saw this:



It seems like my Universe@Home project credit was removed for some reason, yet completing more works for U@H showed that I my work is acknowledged on their site, but the overall total stats doesn't change.

How could that happen?

With CPDN you have to go to your account page and opt in to allow credit export to the aggregation sites. I suspect it is because universe@home has gone down that route too. This is to comply with EU and possibly other data protection laws.

If that doesn't help, probably worth looking on their own forums.

Well you are right. There's a sneaky "consent" check box in Account - Project Preference page.

I reckon ticking it should allow the export of data now. Wait and see if it would add 12 million credits back.
