Hello.

I clicked to display my "Certificate of Computation" and noticed that the date is the Unix Epoch (1 Jan 1970) at the bottom left. Is this a bug?

Thanks

Yes, a bug with the website. 

Yes, a bug with the website.  Sometimes fails or works on other projects depending on the server software.

Yeah they tend to have

Yeah they tend to have problems with Dates like that here.

On my account here it says 

MEMBER SINCE: 26 NOVEMBER 2019

Fact is this is my 19th year here and I have been running 24/7 every day since 2005

I figured it is good enough having that with the actual starting date here with our stats any time we post.

Are you sure that doesn't mean "MEMBER SINCE: 26 NOVEMBER 2019 for Einstein@Home?"

...just my 2¢

Well as I said it is right

Well as I said it is right when we post here and you look under my avatar for all the numbers like we all do. (and profile page where that "team" number also is on the right side of the page)

I guess I should have said "team" on my account page and I know my "team" did not start in 2019

Oh come on......I said "team" and my "team" and I started that "team" and it wasn't close to 2019

This is my 19th year here and I sure didn't decide to start my "team" 14 years later.

Well I don’t know everyone’s

Well I don’t know everyone’s personal story. Many people join teams after many years. Or change teams occasionally.

Since the certificate shows

Since the certificate shows different dates for different people, some for Epoch 1 and others for normal dates, I suspect the user database is fouled up. So can't predict what you will get and no solution other than await a fix by the admin types.

You can generate the all-project certificate at BOINC and other websites where dates are correct.
