    Hello, everyone. I've been running Einstein among other projects for a while now, and everything has been fine until about a week ago, when I've noticed, that I got a "split personality" on the stats site www.boincstats.com (mind you, everything was fine until then), where under combined stats it was showing me as 2 different users, one with Einstein Credit, and other with credit from all other projects.
    I was wondering what the problem was for a while, since I didn't change any e-mail adresses or anything like that, then i figured out that my cross-project ID in Einstein was different from other projects (I'll repeat myself, email adresses were the same in all projects).
    I've tried changing my email in all projects to a new one, and I got new cross-project ID's, which were again same in all projects, except for Einstein. Is there any way to fix this problem?

    Thanks (sorry for the long message, but I wanted to explain EXACTLY what was going on)

    Cross-Project ID problem

      Are you running Einstein exclusively on the machines it runs? CPID can only match up when projects get paired up for a few days. The best way to explain this is a quick chart:

      Running 4 projects, A, B, C, D

      Comp 1 running A, C
      Come 2 running B, C
      Comp 3 running A, B
      Comp 4 running D

      Project D will never get the CPID the same, because it was not paired up with a project that has a matching CPID. It just needs 3-4 days, then you can change it back and it should stay matched after that.

        Thanks, PoohBear. I was running Einstein exclusively for a while (Viva Akos lol :) , but now i've moved on to other projects for a while (so I'm not running Einstein at all currently)

        The weird thing, is, that the cross-projects ID were matching for a while, but then Einstein just happened to get a new one (there's other projects that I haven't been running for a while, but their stays the same). Oh well, I guess I'll just have to run some good ol' Einstein on my machines :)

        Thanks A lot, Pooh Bear!!!!!
        Cheers
