But you may not know it immediately because the infamous "wow" signal must be confirmed by a group of scientists. Also, since every workunit is processed by more than one person, you'll have to share the credit with your quorum partner(s). |

So there would be several finders that are probably spread across a few years. For all you know, you have already found the WOW signal but we are awaiting confirmation. BOINC WIKI |
