This is normal.

The BOINC system resynchs the cross-project ID whenever you attach to a new project. Just give it a couple of days, and it will happen automatically.

(You must use the same email address, and you must have at least one host attached to more than just WCG.)

Here's how it works: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/CrossProjectId

Have you changed anything recently?

Added a new computer, registered with another project, changed any details in your profile?

Remember, you must have at least one computer attached to World Community Grid as well as another of your projects.

As Didactylos noted, it's important to have each machine linked to at least 2 active projects. Each time you create a new membership somewhere the ballgame starts afresh with the a new random 32 hex number and it taking 24-48 hours to sync up again. The convergence rule is, that the CPID is used of the oldest created.

sample of a closed loop:

1. Einstein+WCG
2. WCG+Climate
3. Climate+Einstein

sample of a broken loop

1. Einstein+Climate
2. Climate
3. WCG

In latter a WCG generated CPID will never converge to the once of the other projects. I think if you set up a BAM account at BOINC stats and tell it which projects you run under one handle like "Pat McGee", the process is a little more accelerated.

In your case the Einstein Box will not sync with the other 2.... eventually they might as each pure BOINC project website in latest version pulls all the participating stats together. Just visit your Climate Account page at bottom.

WCG is a little awkward as it is *read only* for security reasons. If thus you have a box only attached to WCG, it will adopt the CPID initially generated here. WCG is also the only one using SSL over port 443/HTTPS.... it sits inside the IBM network and they are pretty tight on who gets in.... certainly not the present BAM/AMS managers to write stuff to your WCG device profiles.

PS: Do not post your real device names.... they are entry points to connect e.g. BOINC stats to persons.

So the loop is, Pat is confused after you posting, then i post after which you are confused.... perfect, but you say the same thing in different words proofing your brain is indeed in gear

AFAIKnew the WCG database did not get updated by the common CPID.... at least that's what I thought to remember from an explanation by i think knreed, but reading back, this post: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/printpost?post=86588 suggests WCG is taking in CPID updates, but not BAM which he explains here: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/...amp;lastpage=yes#lastpost

PS, actually i think George (Einstein) is orphaned completely or (?)

well, i just looked back and see that my CPID in WCG's 'My Profile' is different from all other projects and digging further find that it's the very original generated back when migrating here from UD to BOINC (if only i could find that older post discussing this). Leaves me to think the oldest code of a pure BOINC project allowing RW is being used by all multi project machines, which all are.

WCG project profile: internalhashedcpidvalue32long
Client_State.xml: <host_cpid>externalantispoofvalue</host_cpid>

Now Who's confused?
