New to BOINC, so please be gentle with me.

I'm contributing on two separate projects, SETI@home and Einstein@Home. I want to see stats for all my contributions in one place, which I thought is what the Cross-project ID was for. However, my accounts on the two projects have different IDs, despite having the same email address, password, and name. Have I misunderstood something, or has something gone wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Each project assigns you a CPID of its own with which you can be identified across projects and by statistics sites. Part of the CPID is based on your email address, the rest is random.

Whenever you add a new project, your CPID will go awry again, as the new project assigns its own ID to your account. Yet over time the CPIDs will sync themselves, and all be the same at each project. That is, until you add a new project...

When you have multiple computers, a good rule for yourself is to use the same email address at every project and have at least one computer with all the projects added. It doesn't need to run any work for all those projects, just as long as it has all project added, eventually the CPIDs will sync across the board.
