They're a way for the project to thank you for doing work for them. You can brag with them, showing other people how many of them you have. They can't be exchanged for anything. |

What do you mean by "no test or article about BOINC"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Open_Infrastructure_for_Network_Computing http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/User_manual Mind the links "The Unofficial BOINC Wiki" and "The BOINC FAQ Service" on this page: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/BOINC_Help If you want to know more about SETI@home (e.g. How SETI@home works) click ABOUT at the top and bottom of any page here.
