    I think people are throwing around some confusing terms here, and clarification is required. If someone uninformed reads this thread they could very easily be deceived.

    The team which run the distributed.net projects (OGR-27 and RC5-72) are nothing to do with any BOINC project currently running. The name of the distributed.net native client is "dnetc", and again, this is nothing to do with the unofficial BOINC project named "DNETC@Home" which is just a wrapper for the native client, made by some third-party (just like yoyo@home).

    Even though these BOINC projects have their own statistics, the official statistics are the only ones you should be looking at.

    And there is where the real problem is. Instead of showing us gaining credit for our teams, the dnetc@home boinc team is getting all the credit. The admins at the project are ignoring the problem and hoping it will go away. I won't let that happen. I'm semi retired and have nothing better to do.

    It is time to turn up the heat over there. The following is a way to do that if you feel like letting them know how you feel by simply clicking your mouse.

    1. Go to your account on dnetc@home.
    2. Click on the link to your distributed.net stats.
    3. Click on the email me my password link at the bottom of the page.
    4. Repeat as many times as you desire.

    Let's see if 100 people click 20 times that creates a huge volume of either undeliverable or junk email. The more the merrier.

    Make it a daily routine until they respond.

    They have responded

    Not-so-friendly response from the project admin

    Ok we must clarified few things:

    DNETC is wrapper based on BOIONC platform so you gain points in BOINC.

    Making user account on distributed.net for each user registred on DNETC was made only for distributed.net devs to track users who make errors in computing.

    If somebody is realy intrested in making points on distributed.net - please register there, download app and crunch.

    This topic will be never discussed again.

    Repeating this topic will erease points on account of every person posting without any warning.
