I cant signup to new project at Worldcomunitygrid. The error mesage is no reply from project but i can to do trough WCG pages. There is alo inposible to find existing account by BAM! Any idea ?

WCG works differently from the other BOINC projects:

You have to go to the WCG main page and join there first, then you can attach to it like other BOINC projects.

I understand - I have a account with the same name and email adress at WCG but BAM! can't find this account . It means i cann't manage computers with BAM! to use WCG

WCG doesn't play very nice with BAM!; it will probably take a couple of tries to get them to connect. Don't get frustrated if it doesn't work right away; wait a day and try again, etc.

Is there a way how I can get WCG in BAM! (for managing it and seeing stats) if my WCG account name differs from BAM! account name?
CPID and email address is the same, but my nickname on WCG was already used, so I registered with a different one.
I could add the WCG manually in Boinc, but cannot make it in BAM! ...
If I try connecting WCG to BAM! it uses my nickname and pasword and it fails because the password does not match.
Any idea/help is very welcome

Probably, the only way you could get WCG and your other projects on the same account would be to change your user name at the other projects so it is in line with your WCG Account. Currently, there is no way to get projects with different user names under the same BAM! account.

Has anybody tried adding WCG to their BAM account lately? I noticed that WCG made a post a few days ago, saying that they have made some changes that should allow the project to work with account managers.

They made changes but it also requires changes in the AMS code. I already made some changes and for new (BAM!) users it should work but I haven't tested it yet. Existing users will have to wait until at least the upcoming weekend so I can upgrade their accounts.

I have a WCG account too and with same name as BAM! account, but I can't sign up from BAM....

Hi,



Amazing. Three years gone and no solution?
At the most services the username is the unique identifier for an account. That means usually you can change your password but not your username. So "Changing user name at other projects" is no go.
Why is'nt it possible to ask the user to type in user name and password for the "other projects" as soon as you get an error message at signing up? Even tough I have no clue about how bam communicates with projects this should not be a big deal.
A big deal would be to enable boinc to upload the client adjustments to bam, but that's another story ;-).

No, the most BOINC projects (in fact all besides WCG) have the email address as the unique identifier. So, it is no problem at all to change your userid, unless you are at WCG.

Well, I guess that BAM! can use same data as boincstats and boincstats already knows my nickname on WCG because I can see it in generated statistics. It took about a week for boincstats to join my WCG account to statistics from other boinc projects, but it did it. First I had to unified CPIDs by connecting to all projects from one machine, and after some time boincstats has started to report all my projects I got credits from.
So in case I do not ask for acount creation but only for account subscription (to an existing account, which is already in my statistics), why it does not use my current password and nickname found in the linked statistics?
Concerning linking between BAM and BM - I never know what setting plays a role. If I set something in BAM! and synchronise it with BM, why after opening Preferencies in BM I still see previous values I edited in BM and not thise from BAM! ?

Because BAM! sets the online preferences and those get overridden by the local preferences.

So, press the Clear button in the local preferences, and all goes well.

Well, that's not how it works with BOINC. Email address is used by the projects to identify your account, at least from the web and account management standpoint. Obviously, you haven't had a look at the "Main account page", where you can change your username, as easily as you can change your email address, password or other information. Because you have all of your other (non-WCG) projects connected to BAM, it's one-stop shopping. Then, you can add your WCG account.


A question you would have to ask the developers. GridRepublic does it the same way, though with less user input--if it can't find an account with the same username at a particular project, it will just create an account for you without asking.


If you have no clue how any of this works, then how can you say if it is or isn't a "big deal"? To what "client adjustments" are you referring?

First of all, sorry about my english level...

I go to "Sign-up for projects" and then search my account at WCG... After a few seconds I obtain:

"Checking for existing account at World Community Grid -> Success -> account added"

But it doesn't appear at my project list.

If I choose "Create an account" instead of finding it I obtain:

"Creating account at World Community Grid -> No response from project"

Same problem here

It's working now!!

Thanks! First I thought it did work, but when I found it was working on my notebook, I played more with my desktop, and finally it works too. I had to manually synchronised with BAM first and then clear preferencies. Thanks once again

Yeah! Great!!

Thanks!!!!!
