At some point I ended up with two cross project ids.

Any idea how to merge the second with the first? The first is associated with Seti which I started in 1999.


Name BOINC Cross Project IDentifier (CPID) World Rank Total Credit
webpro 1db6df03a88602967471a318082f202b 6,752 1,307,533

Is it possible that you confuse BOINC with BoincStats? :-)

Excerpt from the FAQ on BoincStats:

Why do I have duplicate/split accounts in the BOINC combined stats?

The cause of this is the CPID, Cross Project IDentifier. Every project assigns a new user a CPID. It is partly based on the email address you used to sign up, the other part is random.
The CPID is used by BOINCstats to identify a user across projects.
Whenever you sign up with a new project, you'll get a new account on BOINCstats because the CPID is new.

What to do to make sure you'll end up with one BOINCstats account:
Use the exact same email address for every project.
Run at least one system with all projects, or one system with project A and B, and one system with project B and C. If there is a project that runs isolated from the other projects, it's CPID with never line up.
When you join a new project, this project assigns you a new CPID. This CPID can either change to the same CPID as the other projects, or the other projects change (one by one) to the new CPID.

It is impossible for me to manually edit your accounts to create one account. It would take to much time to do this for everyone. Just wait a while, and your accounts will line up automatically.

One last thing, which is not too important, but nice for the stats: use the same username across projects, otherwise you get a username like 'Al Bundy @ SAH / Al Bundy @ Predictor / A. Bundy @ CPDN'.

Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz)

I don't think so. I used boinc stats for the simplicity of showing the data here.

When I log into seti, I see 5 projects listed. When I log into Einstein I see 3 projects. Each set shows a different cross project ID. I have always used the same email address.

I added two project from the second set to my machine that has two projects from the first set. Hopefully everything merges and I can get a new cross project certificate with all my projects and my 7+ million cobblestones and and 6.1 quintillion floating-point operations are all nicely packaged :)

Same here,

Two cross project IDs, one for SETI and some other projects
and another one for WorldCommunityGrid and Suprlink

Is that possible to merge/join them?

Did you read Gundolf Jahn's post in this same thread?

Hmm

I've found some answers on WCG forum, apparently CPID is somehow determined by email address.
Link to the thread: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=18692#152896

It checks out in my case: WCG and Superlink are indeed registered with another email address.
I'm changing it now and in a day or two I'll update this thread.

It appears that email change should work.
I've changed my email on the WCG and Superlink and after re-login they show the same CPID as other projects.
Statistics sites will probably see the update in couple of days.
