Umm, not trying to open any cans of worms here, just a dumb question: Negative credits? How and why?

200k in Neg credits in a day?

Sorry, I sincerely don't understand...

I'm pretty sure that's a BoincStats bug - perhaps some data missing in some table somewhere, or some such (some of the boincstats data is calculated based on something else, if that "something else" is a zero instead of the total score for example, it's not going to calculate right!).

It's not a bug in BOINCstats, it happens when the user's CPID keeps changing because they haven't got it to sync up between all their projects.

The user "Xanthochroid" has two CPIDs, the other one is here. The negative scores on one ID match the positive scores on the other.

Well, ok, so it's kind of a bug that BOINCstats show negative credits, but the real cause of that is that there are two CPID's, right?
