Hi;

I'm trying to get setup to do the einstein thing using BOINC.

Unforch, when I try to create a BOINC account, it says I'm already registered.

But when I click on the send me my key option, which I did quite a few times because the response wasn't just slow, it was glacial, but I finally did get 8 copies of my seti key, which I used to log into here with.

This seti key however, is being rejected as an invalid key by the BOINC setup. So I am unable to continue, and of course there isn't any place to send an email query regarding this that I can find.

It seems the mix-n-matching of the database of users/clients, is somehow broken.

So what do I do next?

I might add that I had a crash a couple of days ago, one that generated a messages log (linux obviously, a windows user wouldn't think it was worth mentioning) of 107 megs. The only odd piece of software I had run in the previous 24 hours was the BOINC setup. It may, in its system survey mode, be doing something thats not 100% kosher as I had no other crashes in recent history, although I am running bleeding edge kernels, currently 2.6.11-rc4-RT-V0.7.39-02, Ingo Molnars realtime patch kit.

Please CC: me at gene dot heskett AT verizon dot net
as I may not think to check this forum very often.

Which BOINC account? Einstein or SETI?

Which setup? Einstein or SETI?

There is no "min-n-matching" between the Einstein and SETI databases, they are two separate projects. There is no such thing as a BOINC account by itself. You have to create an account for each BOINC project and use the URL/Account ID to attach to each specific project.

I don't use my email program very often so I probably won't send an email on this subject.

Bill asked the most important questions.
Just a few remarks:
- What Boinc client are you running?
- The account ID to attach a project to your client (recieved by email) and the Cross-Project ID on your account page are two very different things.
and, last but not least:
A good manual for Boinc is Paul D. Bucks BOINC Powered Projects Documentation and his FAQ therein.
