no, BAM is not phasing out. What made you think that?
And no, nothing will be "ported" since SU made the BAD decision to use new, anonymous accounts for every project you get added via SU (using a fake email).
Meaning, you will get a new cpid and be a "new user" for all projects. I think there is NO way to synch this.

I tried su for a few days, but i am already getting "cpid error" for some projects. Think i´ll switch back to using bam with most of my systems.

We changed things so that when Science United creates an account on a BOINC project, it uses a random (anonymous) name, password, and email address, rather than using the info from your Science United account.

Not good. Sorry, while I understand your approach to make boinc easy to use and user friendly, it totally collides with most, if not all users that have been using boinc before.


Ok and what happen if we already have an account in one of this project? SU create a dupe one?


Yes, it seems to be like that. A new account with new email meaning a new cpid. Now I get "cpid errors" and mismatches when checking my progress on that projects side. For me, this is Bad with a capital B.
