The problem is that I restored the old BOINC directory from a backup. So now new results (reported this week on the new hardware) are being reported on the old computer ID but it's updated the hardware and computer name of the old ID and also created a new ID. So it's reporting under the new ID 4975853 but it updated the old ID 3132102 with the new hardware and name for some reason. And it won't merge them. Is this a problem?

NO Boinc will figure things out in less than a week and in the meantime it will run normally and you will get your credits like you should. ID: 98429 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
