    WCG Stats error???

    The following is from my WCG account page

    My Statistics
    Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) (Rank): 0:346:07:52:51 (#83,015)
    Points Generated (Rank): 947,961 (#55,749)
    Results Returned (Rank): 2,604 (#45,052)
    But Free-DC only shows

    Project ------------------- Score
    World Community Grid ----- 135,423

    Thats a difference of 812,538 credits. Any Ideas?

    CPID reported by Free-DC and WCG are the same 3ef5f71d77abb1ccaf16dfc16075fab9

    WCG has their own credit system - what you're seeing are their "points" which have little to no bearing on BOINC credits. I always ignore that number.

    Divide their number by 7 and you get the BOINC stats they export. Always been this way, it's a legacy problem from when they ran the UD software. Been saying they would get rid of it for years, maybe at the same time they export the subproject data for me

    Why are points on the agent and the web different?
    World Community Grid in the past ran two types of agents. A United Devices (UD Windows) agent and a BOINC (Windows/Linux/Mac) agent. Today, World Community Grid only runs the BOINC agent. Points contributed by both of the agents will be part of a members total on the website. However, only points contributed by BOINC agents will be shown on the BOINC agents. The points previously earned by a UD agent only appear on the website. Additionally, due to differences in how the agents computed points, BOINC points are multiplied by 7 when they are imported into the website. Thus if you earned 5 BOINC points, you will see 35 Website points.
