I started two tests yesterday, with only an update after the first or second block, so I could write down the number of blocks in each test(I'm very anal-retentive). This morning, I realized that I had promised a friend I would crunch under their username, which is Test.

Is this a problem? And if it is, can you guys fix it before my test ends, about 4-6 days from now?

The tests are under Jasong, both of them. k=21181 n=11260628 and
k=55459 n=11191270 The next updates, one of them about 4-6 days from now, will tell the server the username is Test.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes this would be a problem. Tests are assigned by the server and must be completed by the individual to whom the test was assigned in order to get credit.

Your only options are to do the next two for your friend or drop these and start two new ones in his name.

Okay, I'll change the names back to Jasong.

Thanks for the info.

Another question: If I tell it to finish the present test and not to download a new one, will it still respect that after the reboot?
