I don't think so. However the points are automatically converted the other way. So your WCG point total will keep growing even though your BOINC cobblestone total will start from zero.

There probably is a way to convert your points to BOINC but it would require manual intervention by the WCG techs. I'm sure they would not mind doing it for 1 member but unfortunately that sets a precedent for thousands of other members to expect the same favor.

With all the upgrades and improvements we will (very) soon see for BOINC, as well as future upgrades, BOINC will soon be far superior to UD, if it is not already. I encourage you to bite the bullet and switch now before you accumulate even more credits.

Re: WCG to BOINC - credit conversion?

The points that you see when you go to this page will continue to accumulate as indicated by Keck_Komputers. These points are accumulated by member name (Mirutka_and_Luke) regardless of the agent that you use.

As Dagorath points out, the points you have already accumulated under the WCG/UD agent will not count as BOINC points but will still be there under your member name (as indicated above).

Finally I agree with Dagorath relative to the BOINC vs. WCG/UD issue. I made the jump to BOINC and have been very happy with it. Step by Step instructions are here

Regards and Thank You for contributing.

Re: WCG to BOINC - credit conversion?

It would be highly arbitrary to say the least to convert points earned with UD Agent, which is based on WallClock time to points earned based on CPU time and a Benchmark which is composed entirely different from the BOINC Benchmark. Internally of WCG there is a multiplier (7) which would also have to be retested for validity if brought externally.

Moreover, from when, today, from the beginning of WCG and what would that do to the global BOINC statistics system? I think that would create a little palace revolution in the BOINC overall community and global stats and x-project comparisons......nee I'd say......go switch to BOINC....i done it 4.5 months ago and happy ever since as UD+BOINC points times 7 is more points in the WCG stats......and the UD agent members should never complain as they do work at 60% default and still get points as if crunching at 100%.

ciao
