WCG 'points'

Post by UBT - verdade »

Hi folks.

How do WCG "points" relate to credits?

WCG says I have 2,413 "points", but my stats say I have 286 credits.

Anyone know?

Michael.

WCG multiply there BOINC credits to fit them in on there stats with the UD client, just ignore the WCG stats pages and use BOINCstats for your BOINC credits.

The 2 systems do not have compatible credit systems so WCG multiply the BOINC by about 4.5 times or so to make them the same as UD credits

Edit: all this can be found in there FAQ's

Ah, I see. That makes some sense.

Thanks, Dave.
