Bam boinc12/30/2023 ![]() ![]() As long as you attached your BAM! account to the BOINC Manager client, you will be able to remotely adjust settings within BAM!. Q: Can I use BAM! settings to control PC's that are not mine?Ī: Yes. Make this a part of your setup procedure when you install BOINC on all new rigs and it should work out fine for you. What gives?Ī: You have to do the process in post 7 of this thread on every PC you want BAM! to manage. Q: I have BOINCStats BAM! set up but I don't see any hosts in my host list. After making your email and passwords match, try again. Some people have suggested making your BOINCStats user name the same as WCG, but I do not believe that portion is necessary. WCG is also known for not liking special characters in their passwords which is odd since they are one of the most security minded projects. You will want to make sure you are using the same password as all other BOINC projects and at. As noted a few times in this guide, you will want to make sure you signed up with the same email address as all other BOINC projects and at. To fix the issue, you will want to try a few things. What is happening is that instead of using your email as the username like all the other projects, WCG uses the handle you signed up to use. It has been a known issue for several years but WCG continues to fail to address it. What gives?Ī: WCG is the only BOINC project that does the login differently. Q: When I try to find my account at WCG, it tells me I have an invalid password. Don't worry, their stats are separate from yours as they will have a different unique CPID. Who are they?Ī: Since BOINCStats pulls stats from multiple BOINC projects and someone else could have used your typical handle, it is possible that you are seeing their accounts pull up when searching for your name. Q: I did a search for my name and I see multiple accounts with my user name, but they are not me. Keep all of your accounts with the same email AND password. I cannot confirm but it seems to have less issues. Tips: If you are using BAM!, it may associate your CPID during account creation. These AMs show you a list of BOINC projects and let you choose projects by checking boxes. Again, to make all projects use the same CPID, simply attach all projects to at least one client for a few days or permanently if you don't care. BOINC Account Manager (BAM) and GridRepublic. The only exception may be if a project server is down or unreachable. It won't happen immediately, but it should take place within a day or two. On a single host, connect to all of your BOINC project accounts. ![]() The good news is that to merge all of your CPID's is simple. So, the client tries to manage where you are when it comes to multiple projects. However, since BOINC isn't a central regulated entity, there is no single database to keep track of you. The CPID is created using a formula which includes your email address and possibly password as factors. The CPID is created when you create your account at each project and is a unique identifier. What gives?Ī: That stats portion of the site is tied together using what is called a CPID. Q: Why do I see more than one account at ? Each account has different projects I participate in but I want them all to show up together.
