Free-DC & "my Grid" report 2 vastly different numbers? Anyway to estimate some kind of conversion or something? I only run BOINC...

the points in your free-dc page are the boinc points and the points on you grid page at wcg are wcg points. It's roughly boinc points x7 = wcg points. I think the multiplier is slightly over 7 as you can see with your 70K boinc points and 520K wcg points it is just over 7 times the amount. The reason for the different points is the cross project points issue so that all boinc projects score roughly the same amount but because wcg uses the higher credit granting UD client aswell so WCG uses the 7x multiplier. :toast:
