1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Wrong Computer ID & No credit for Work (Message 44354)

My local Computer ID is different from the LHC information. How does it get changed?

Additionally, my Credit on LHC shows I have not had contact since Jul 2020, however my computer has been crunching numbers 24/7 since I joined. I click on Update for my project at least twice a week.

I built a water-cooled system just for crunching numbers for projects, but if there is no credit for my systems hard work, time and energy use...why continue?

I started out with SETI@Home and when they stopped sending work to be completed, I did not want to waste my computer's capabilities and down time. LHC seemed to be a worthy project. If they cannot get the credit correct, are they getting my completed work correct?

There must be another Project that could use my system's capabilities and time. I really wanted to make an impact with the LHC Project - if I can get things fixed. Any useful ideas would be greatly appreciated.
