CPID Mash up...

Post by Naon »

Hi all, well i have been doing Boinc for some time and it seems that i had multi CPID numbers cross the projects..

Now i have gone back into all of the projects and now they are under one number >>> e062677cb48211b701fa06ea4861c3ee

But when i went to BAM, The CPID was under a another number. so i clicked the check box to re-new the CPID and it gave me another number... 410714949e2a5e7ab161e049e9b38cd0


How can i sync the CPID's..... do i...

1-Detach projects in Bam and re-attach the projects

2-Hope and wait till BOINCStats catch up

I would hit the "renew CPID" box again, and just wait.

I had this problem a year or so ago, and wound up with 4 CPIDs, but BOINC/BAM sorted itself out.

It can take a few weeks though, so you may need some patience.

Rick.

But the thing is. That a have not got the balls to hit that "renew CPID" again...

I will just have to wait.... i have two weeks off work and i think i need to address this issue, then put it to bed....

(this IS stressing me out) lost 9 month's of credit a few weeks ago, yesterday i lost it ALL except 47 points with BURP witch i have not done for ages....

You should get it all back in time, but I know how frustrating split CPIDs can be.

What beats me is why do they split in the first place when you already have one CPID.  :roll:

I've managed to get down to two CPID's, which isn't bad, considering I'm signed up to 62 projects! The only split one left is Docking@Home. No matter how many time I hit renew, and also crunch a few D@H wu's, the project will not fall in line with my main CPID! :evil:

Maybe... If ya go to the main account page on docking and check your information is correct there. i bet ya that something is not quite right and when you change the information, the CPID will correct...(There is no "Renew CPID" option on the project user account page's)

Does anyone know the url to check and update the CPID? It doesn't seem to be in the BAM menu anymore.

You can find your CPID in "Your Account" page on any project you are using, or see our forum    "Boinc Issues" - To align multiple CPIDs

Yes, that's where I would have expected to find it. But It wasn't there, I just couldn't see it. But then I wouldn't if I had the "Use BAM's AMS functions" disabled (Bam settings http://boincstats.com/bam/bam_settings.php). I can see it now that I'm enabled, thanks for your help.
