I merged two computers way back and result #831624 on my old machine crashed or had an error with one time step left, it was so long ago I can\'t remember the details BUT now the trickles are duplicated from that WU from May today (Nov 1), hugely inflating my RAC but NOT affecting my total credit............................ I think its the halloween ghosts |

Something\'s going on at Oxford. Or, perhaps, NOT going on. 2 of my trickles are missing. 8 hours until the techs show up. :( |

I have a similar issue. At about 13:00GMT I suddenly received a swag of results from a machine that stopped operating on 7 October.(actually I increased its RAM to 768Mg but Boinc will not allow them to merge) Host ID is 227800. it looks like I had deliver the whole of phase one in about 10 mins or so! Likewise it did not seem to alter my total credit. Also since then I have received no credit from the 7 machines I have running even though they should have been recorded and the various Boinc managers are telling me that they have \"succeeded\" in a send of trickles to CPDN. Have I suddenly become a recipeint of misallocated results instead of being one that loses results? More critically I dont seem to be getting any credits for the results from the machines that are still running. Have we got a database problem? it did seem to occur on the 1st of the month. Were their any database changes at the end of October?

John I don\'t think there are any issues with credits / trickles up until, perhaps, 12 hours ago. I\'m going to link this thread to one on the community forum, and if there isn\'t any improvement by, say, 9am UK time, I\'ll email Carl. |

Hi, I had accidentally turned off trickles as I was switching from the old (Python) trickle code to the new (C++) trickle code. Hopefully things are OK now, other than some duplicates (which won\'t affect overall credit but will bump up the RAC). |

Ok so it wasn\'t halloween ghosts.........I was so hoping for a boogie man explanation |
