I was trying to figure out why I'm not getting credit for WCG work and I found that WCG uses a different Cross-project ID (CPID) than any of my other BOINC projects.
----------------------------------------WCG: 354c87cde6e81e3faf4071309fe171d5 BOINC: 3c077620e211d1237d796b34fe93941d including Asteroids, Milky Way, GPUGRID, PrimeGrid, Einstein@Home, Moo!Wrapper, Cosmology@Home...etc) Can this be corrected??? ![]() ...KRI please cancel all shadow-banning[Edit 1 times, last edit by Aurum420 at Mar 14, 2018 7:49:40 PM] |

I was trying to figure out why I'm not getting credit for WCG work I checked on both WCG and on BOINCSTATS and they both show you getting credit for your work, unless you mean credit with Gridcoin. From the amount of work you are putting out you appear to have quite a stable. Cheers

Yes, no Gridcoin credit for WCG work. Can the CPID be changed???

Yes, no Gridcoin credit for WCG work. Can the CPID be changed??? I do not participate in Gridcoin, but I suspect you may need to set up a separate Gridcoin account with only your WCG CPID. Check with whoever is in charge of Gridcoin as they may have encountered this situation before. Good luck. Cheers

All it needs, thousands of times discussed, is for the email address of the WCG account to be ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL to the one at used at your other proejcts and for the WCG project to be active/connecting on the SAME DEVICE as the other projects to maintain synchronicity for the CPID's on the project accounts. Lag about 48 hours if left alone, or you frequently hammer the update button in the client for all the projects attached to the SAME HOST. Then it could even realign on the next 6 hourly export that the external stats sites import.
----------------------------------------PS, account managers could cause havoc. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 15, 2018 4:11:02 PM] |

I don't use any account manager.
----------------------------------------Sounds like WCG can't do it right so I've moved to other DC projects. Still no response from WCG from this forum or Contact Us form. ![]() ...KRI please cancel all shadow-banning |

Aurum420, politeness begets politeness.
----------------------------------------I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues, and there's been a few here who've come up with suggestions as to how they may be able to help you resolve your issue. Thing is, you haven't indicated as to whether you've checked/confirmed that all your accounts are set up identical, nor as to whether you've tried contacting Gridcoin for help - although just providing WCG with less than 48 hours to resolve your issue (opening post = Mar 14, 2018 7:48:46 PM, latest post = Mar 16, 2018 1:50:54 PM), doesn't give the hugely stretched resources at WCG a lot of time to even begin looking at your chalenge. On top of that, your Opening Post didn't give any clues as to the issue being with Gridcoin - that came ~9 hrs later. Patience and kindness, my friend, I find tend to go a very long way. Thus, have you; a) checked/confirmed that all your accounts are set up identical? b) tried contacting Gridcoin for help? I wish I could help myself - although as I don't use Gridcoin, I'd be starting from point zero (and, by the sounds of it, you're looking for a solution NOW). P.S. Most support teams use a priority system (i.e., 1 through 4, with 1 being the highest/most severe), and I'd guess that your issue would be a 2 at best, and probably even a 3. Yes, it's an important issue to you - but please, have a sense of reason and perspective. ![]() |

I completely agree with gb009761's remark.
----------------------------------------Politeness is the best way to initiate and to maintain good relationships. Additionally: why, in case of problem, some people do think that it must be WCG's responsibility only and not at least a shared responsibility or even the only responsibility of other projects or maybe user's responsibility? Everybody could make some mistakes. Cheers, Yves |
