Re: invalid key problem here too

The latest version of BOINC asks for a username and password, NOT for your account key.

You will need the latest BOINC version if you want to contribute to the most recent WCG project, because WCG are now using the download compression feature.

Re: invalid key problem here too

I have the same problem. I use the BOINC Manager on Windows and tried to add WCG as a new project, entered my username and password and received the same error message.

Re: invalid key problem here too

No, there is no new explanation mentioned in there. All it describes is how to log on at all.

Re: invalid key problem here too

Yes, I did. The system also gave me an account key. So I assume, my user has been created correctly. The problem seems to be the log in procedure uding the Boinc client.

Re: invalid key problem here too

I run 5.4.11, I guess, that's the most recent version...

... by the way, the client works great on other projects.
