I have 2 different active Seti@home Classic accoounts (2 different email addresses and user names)

Is it possible to get the work credits for both of those accounts assigned to my new Boinc Seti account?

Thanks for any info!

I'd say no. They couldn't merge accounts in SETI Classic, and it's highly unlikely they'd do it here, either.

Hi Zerion, I don't believe so, as SETI, (Classic), from early on, stopped the ability to do that, because of the 'Cheating' that went on! You haven't been able to 'Merge' in years!

And as for your 2 Active Classic Accounts, w/2 Email Addys..., you should have made a 'Team' and added your second acct to form a Place, (at least), where you could have them all together. =)

Classic Accts to BOINC..., NaDa! BOINC has a very different way to get your Credits/Cobbelstones for you, (i.e. Different type Measurments, etc.). You will though, get a Last 'Snapshot' of your Classic WU's..., and they will be Added to your Acct Page here at BOINC. Hope that answers at least some of your Q's. =)

Later...

If they are all set to the same email address it is possible that they will be combined when the final snapshot is taken. Not promised, but there is a chance.

You can't set two different classic-accounts to the same email-address, and neither can you set two SETI@home/BOINC-accounts to the same email-address...
