(moderation:
Hi i currently have 2 accounts. both named as bigsinky. any chance a project admin could merge both of these account into one. the first account was using as i7 with an Nvidia 1060GTX. I upgraded this system and it now runs a Nvidia GTX1080ti. I have no idea how i managed to create 2 accounts. Perhaps einstein saw a new graphics card and issued a new user id.
Would appreciate it if you could merge the two bigsinky accounts especially as i am involved in the Formula Boinc sprint this week.
Just had a look at BOINCStats and I have 2 accounts user IDs of 4064117 Einstein showing 834,829 credits and 40422260844 Einstein showing 1,927,926 credits

Hi and welcome to Einsteins message boards!
I'm not an admin but might have some insights into how you ended up with two accounts that are normally not able to be merged. You'll probably have to bite the dust and choose witch of the account you want to use and abandon the other one, unless an admin can intervene.
At some point you must have attached/added Einstein@home for a second time and at that time instead of choosing "Existing user" you chose "New user", that's the only way I know of to end up with more than one account at a project.
Changing the graphics card would at most cause the project to issue a new host id but not a new user id, and normally the host will just get updated with the new hardware info.
