Boinc refuses to merge them even if they have the same name, OS, CPU, etc. It say they are incompatible. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8768137 https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8769664 ID: 2018399 ·

Normally BOINC is looking to merge two computers with different names, the reason why they generated different hostids. Can you change the name of the host on one computer and try again.

Don't know, I assume these are temp WOW contest machines created with the modified salted hash in client_state? Maybe the merge expects the hash to obey some rule for creation that you have upset with the modified hash. And that is why the merge doesn't work.

Yes that is exactly what is happening, but the merge works in the past without any trouble. I just need to wait until all the WU where cleared from the host. ID: 2018408 ·

Itâ€™s likely because the systems have overlapping dates that contacted the servers. I was unable to merge any of my WOW spoofed hosts because of this.

Check his Stderr outputs for actual GPU counts. He only has 4. If you browse the list of the top fastest systems on the project youâ€™ll find lots of systems like this. :P Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours ID: 2018462 ·
