Hello! I have got too many points. Now, a total amount of points is smaller than average one:) An evident error.

Screenshot 

In your screenshot, the 'average' shows two decimal places, using the USA/UK convention of a period to separate units from fractions. Despite the extra digits, in all cases the value in the 'total' column is greater than the value in the 'average' column.

Points are still being

Points are still being reported way higher in the BOINC manager than reality though. Look at his account showing 61,000 total credits and a RAC of like 700. But his manager says 6 billion total and like 15 million average. That’s way off.

We don't know (and we can't know - the computers are hidden) that the screenshot and the posting account refer to the same machine(s).

But the question was "total amount of points is smaller than average one", which is what I tried to answer.

if average rac was 15 million

if average rac was 15 million and total points were 6 billion, you'd see such a user on the leaderboards, but he's not. hiding your computers doesn't hide your RAC or total points at the user level.

 

you can see the user name in his screen shot.

 

methinks he's got some kind of file corruption with his BOINC install.

 

Actually, now that I look closer at the specific values, it's pretty clear that this user has joined Science United.

 

all of his host's points are being rolled into the Science United stats, and he's seeing the stats from that "user".
