Hello and welcome Candy, The (very good) manual for Boinc is the BOINC Powered Projects Documentation by Paul D. Buck and the FAQ therein. For information regarding Credits look here! But if you want to know, what they are good for in the real world: They are a 'measurement of your donation to science', or, put more simple, bragging rights. For a bunch of them, and a couple of $$, you can get a decent coffee at Starbucks ;) Gruesse vom Saenger For questions about Boinc look in the BOINC-Wiki |
