Me too, on both accounts.  I have 4.899 years and returned to SETI@Home after unsuccessful attempts to set up, use and receive credit using BOINC.

Don't forget that the credit system is different.

Your s@h classic credit will get transferred when the next 'snapshot' is taken. These occur every few months or whenever the ops 'get the chance'.

The boinc credits only show up after all results for a WU are returned. If your WU is also in someone else's cache or just stuck on a slow machine, then you could be waiting a while.

The credits catch up eventually. It all works surprisingly well.

Patience and happy crunchin',

Good luck,
Martin
