I've been noticing that my total RAC has been dropping consistantly over the past month or so which is puzzling as i've actually been adding more crunchers.

So, i added up all my PC's RAC and the total is something like 14,500 as apposed to the 6,300 actually listed. How so?

I looked at Barry & Max's seti farm and their total RAC is roughly the same as the sum of their PC's individial RAC?

Even just adding up the RAC from my top 12 crunchers equals what i'm getting as total RAC! and there are another 60 odd machines behind them!

If someone connected with the seti project could assist, it'd be very handy

cheers

You can't add RAC ... It is an odd function ... read up on it in the Glossary ... Look under Recent Average Credit.

Hi Richard,

I have noticed the same thing with my account. A month ago my RAC was sitting at 9,200+ and now has dropped to about 5,600. In this time I have added 6 more machines to my farm yet the RAC keeps dropping. It's very strange.....

You may be right but it looks damned weird.
