Seti credit vs Einstein Credit

Why is the credit for work done for Seti one tenth of that done for Einstein? Credit granted for Seti work is very small.

We are not here for the credit, we are here for the science. ;)

Cheers.

Choose your favourite:
a) Because that's how the two projects wish to reward their volunteers
b) Because S@H has implemented the BOINC "New Credit" system in full, whereas Einstein has avoided doing so
c) S@H knows it has the biggest and most diverse pool of volunteers whereas Einstein "buys" it volunteers with credit that is worth nothing


I dare say others can add to this list of options

S@H units always run first, even with deadlines. My Seti units take the same amount of time. I have been doing this since S@H started, before 1999. I am sixty some years old and now retired. I think S@H has enough time to gather a base; just like others. Einstein does science, others do science. They have more to show for the effort. I think it is time for S@H to compete for time. I am cutting back. Do what you like. The question still stands, why does S@H not give more credits?

Seti@home was first and defined what a credit is. Others offer "more" to get you there. There has been many many threads on ALL the projects about this. http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/cpcs Shows the comparisons. If all you want is points, go to an arcade with a roll of quarters. If you want to help science, pick your project.

In the beginning S@H was all credits and racing. Boinc came along and S@H could not rule, so it got to be about science. Things got to be too much for them. They can not produce enough work units to compete. They have been limited by the school. Newer machines eat through units faster each year. Most people have to do other projects to keep machines on line t wait for S@H. After 14 years of doing S@H, yes I am going to include the pre-BOINC times, they have found nothing.

Seti people say big sky; small search. S@H has the computing power to search, they just can not get the interest in searching. Us old credit seakers should just go away? Maybe, but if we had our way S@H would have to find ways to get more data. S@H would have to find the way to get more bandwidth. S@H would have to learn to keep it machines running 24/7. S@H would have to learn to become just as good a machine as the machine it has gathered to process its data.

Has long as we do not push it, it will never get any better. And it may never find anything. Einstein has found things. Primes has found things. S@H is still small time looking; finding nothing. But what does and old S@H screen saver guy know?

By the way I have
Seti Total credits 25,099,142
Einstein Total credits 60,649,264
on top of
SETI@home classic workunits 34,125
SETI@home classic CPU time 153,553 hours

That is how much science I have done along the way to gathering WORTHLESS CREDITS.

Someone said Seti has a bigger pool of users. Is there an easy way to compare computing power between projects? Einstein has been posting about their computing power (as they measure it, boincstats shows it rather less).

A credit per flop or something would be nice so we can easily compare computing power at various projects. On the other hand, I'd like climate prediction to give out a few more credits for running their models which can take 3-4 weeks (cpu only).

Yep, and anybody that thinks those credits have worth can buy mine for a buck a piece. I'll even donate half of the proceeds to Seti @ Home.

SUCH A DEAL!!!

When the autocorrelation comes on line the search becomes much larger.
