I started keeping records on a spread sheet on July 21, 2016 of SETI stats.  I added Einstein credits and rank on September 28, 2017 so I could watch for trends and perhaps rebalance work between SETI and Einstein.  I take the stats directly from BOIC Stats, On that date my Einstein rank was showing 98.781%.... This rank was generally steady until December 2018 when 'permission' was required to receive stats.  My rank went up to 99.510% and as others granted permission, dropped down to 99.164%.  This was understandable.  In addition I was trying to tweak different PCs and utilization.  On June 25, 2019 my rank dropped to 26.102% and today was 26.219%  PLEASE NOTE THAT MY RANK NUMBERS WERE FROM BOINC AND WERE NOT MY CALCULATIONS!  How in heck did I drop from 90%+++ to 26%??  I just put a freeze on Einstein just to see the effect of no work on BOINC stats.  Thoughts, ideas?

Hi and welcome to the

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Personally I'd look at Total credit or RAC for statistics, though the "Accumulated more credit than" is certainly a feelgood number. Wink

As to the drop I'd imagine that active users with higher credit would be more prone to check the settings and allow credit stats to be exported.
Maybe a few really high production users opted to allow the export and that gave the sudden change?

That is a BOINCstats #. An answer should be requested there. I've never heard of someone monitoring their global % rank. I'd rather look at the # rank and not a %.

Anther thought would be to see who is suddenly above you, I'm guessing maybe the GrdiCoin Teams that are counted as users are a part of the problem.
