Hi, on WCG I have 2 million points, but on BOINC it says that I have only 290.000 points. And I know that normally it is not exactly the same on both sites, but in my case it is way over different.

My points on WCG (guizalan):
Points Generated (Rank) 2,028,192 (#50,560)


My profile on BOINC (look at WCG):
http://boinc.netsoft-online.com/e107_plugins/boinc/get_user.php?cpid=498cf9c842f6be9cc91d80a1b58bf018&html=1



I'm also crunching Einstein@home and the points are pretty similar on both sites. Does anyone knows why this huge discrepancy on WCG and BOINC points?

PS: Sorry if I'm posting on the wrong forum...

Hey Thanks, I see it now:

... However, you should know that seven (7) World Community Grid points are equal to one (1) BOINC credit.


And now it makes perfect sense, calculating my points with this rule...
