Hi,

I had an old WCG-Account which didn't matched all others and so BAM created a new one. But now curiosity the "My detailed stats" shows only my old WCG-Account! Which of cause make no progress because BAM add's the new account to my hosts.

Whould be cool if you could aggregade WCG statistics with the same CPID.

Ok, because nobody replied maybe you need more information.

I think you use the user.gz file as source of all data.
Code:
http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/boinc/stats/user.gz

Now if you do a grep with my CPID (which should be the same on all BOINC Projects becaus it is the md5 hash of the email adress!)
Code:
zgrep -A 2 -B 8 "941025eeb95d0492e94ca15007c2df40" user.gz

You will get two entries
Code:
<user>
<id>432926</id>
<name>IndianaX</name>
<country>GERMANY</country>
<create_time>1196947304</create_time>
<total_credit>280037.556124</total_credit>
<expavg_credit>5986.919548</expavg_credit>
<expavg_time>1427242200.367040</expavg_time>
<cpid>941025eeb95d0492e94ca15007c2df40</cpid>
<teamid>12561</teamid>
</user>

<user>
<id>536413</id>
<name>Andy2010</name>
<country>GERMANY</country>
<create_time>1226054569</create_time>
<total_credit>70686.578513</total_credit>
<expavg_credit>0.067200</expavg_credit>
<expavg_time>1242562810.329010</expavg_time>
<cpid>941025eeb95d0492e94ca15007c2df40</cpid>
<teamid>12561</teamid>
</user>

The first one is the current one, it is younger, had the same name as I have here and for BAM!, the credits are increasing, ... BUT
The second one, old one, with no credits, is used for my detailed stats
My expectation was that both entries get merged together.

This is a problem with WCG not managing accounts like other BOINC projects. Normally email address is a unique value for accounts so this would not happen. However, with WCG username is the unique value for accounts but they still use email for creating CPID.

I would check at WCG and see if they are willing to merge your two accounts.

I will try it.

There are 2319 Accounts with a duplicate CPID.

Bad news, but maybe you can move this thread to the "boincstats bug" category and they/you will add a merge function.
I think you already have to identify the user with the CPID so instead of replacing/ignoring the second entry you could add them.

Hello IndianaX,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us. Unfortunately there is no way to combine member accounts at this time. You can view your two accounts in one place at a BOINC stats website, such as: http://boincstats.com/ Or we can also remove the member account you are no longer using from the database. Please let us know if you would like us to take this action.

Thank you for your support!
