Restored your credit to 277,000. The 100x scale-down was applied to all users equally when I was reworking the validation system. Your relative position on the leaderboard is the same. It should never have hit zero, that was my mistake. I have since set up daily automated backups of all credit data so if anything goes wrong again I can restore quickly. Won't happen again.

Hello,
BOINC has had a credit system for a very long time.
You have to deal with it, that's how it is.
You can't change it.
A credit granted is a credit granted.
Thank you very much.

Restored your credit. The 1.2M from the old system was scaled down 100x (same as all users when we moved to FLOPS-based credit) and added to what you've earned since. You should see 13,441 cobblestones now. Daily automated backups are in place now so this won't happen again. Let me know if anything looks off.

Restored your 7,854 cobblestones. You should see 8,292 total now. Sorry about that. Daily automated backups are in place now so this won't happen again.

Understood. The credit system is stable now. FLOPS-based, same formula every cycle, no more resets. Daily backups are running in case anything ever needs to be restored.

Like others, I got zero'd out. I have no idea where I was before you did this. However, you really need a better plan for this sort of thing because you are going to spend a lot of time manually adding credit each time you bork it. Pick something and just stick to it. You don't have to match every or any project out there. You just need to be consistent. People will either stay or go from there.

Correction..it looks like I have points again but my hosts credit were still wiped.

Restored. Your account was missing credit from Feb 27 – Mar 6 (before the new FLOPS-based system went live). I estimated ~2,700 based on your hosts benchmark scores and your recent earning rate. You should now see ~12,569 credit.

The credit system is stable now. Daily automated backups are in place. Sorry for the trouble.

Now that's more like it!

We have daily automated backups on the server now, so credit data is protected going forward. I'll also be reaching out to Free-DC soon to get stats exports back up and running.

You're right, and I apologize for not addressing that directly. I've been in contact with Free-DC and they have a backup of everyone's credit from the Sunday before the project was removed from their stats. Once they're back online (hardware issue on their end, about a week), I'll use that data to do a bulk restore for all users — not just the ones who asked. No one should have to request it individually.

So the credits we're earning right now are going to get reset to some old total at a stats site?

The bulk restore is done — I used the Free-DC backup to add back everyone's historical credit on top of what you've earned since. No one lost any current credit. If your total still looks off, let me know.

I sent a private message but got no response.
My original credit has not been restored - i had at least 272052 credits when it was erased.

Sorry I missed your PM — I've restored your credit to 300,000. You should see it reflected now. Let me know if anything else looks off.
