On 26 Jul my PC trickled and the credit was around 7500ish. On the 29th after a trickle my credit jumped to 11060. On 3rd Aug my next trickle dropped my credit to 4630. BOINC has trickled 4 times since then but I have received no credit. I noticed all this after accidently clicking on the statistics tab in BOINC. Is there a problem with my project?

Hi David,

Your result is one that was incorrectly sent to more than one PC. This was caused by a combination of database problems and a (now fixed) bug in the BOINC scheduler. If you look at the trickle history for the result it shows trickles from 3 different hosts - your PC for the first trickle, host 104251 for the next 36 and the last 35 came from host 160714.

It sounds like the result was originally registered to your PC (i.e. the database update succeeded when you downloaded the result), so you were receiving the credits regardless of which host returned the trickle. When Carl ran a script to reassign results to the system submitting the highest trickle the result switched to host 160714, and it now has all the credits for the result.

As you\'re running BOINC 4.45 I\'d advise you to use BOINC Manager to abort the result.
