Credits are just to compare your rig to others. You get them for units you complete that compare favorably to your "wingman", the other rig which also receives and processes the same unit. You don't need to do anything else, but if you're interested, start reading the threads in "Number Crunching". It's a great place to pick up tips, and get to know other crunchers. Cafe' SETI is also a good place for general friendly conversation. ID: 1343922 ·

Alas I am an unemployed 32 yo who dreams of one day working in the cosmology field. Hell I don't even know if that's right.... All I know is that math makes sense, and I absolutely love space.. It's AMAZING just what we as a human race have been lucky enough to see and comprehending thing's that do NOT make any sense and are REAL!!!!! (Black Holes) WOW I hope I am getting a little good karma for my future by participating, and let's all hope I find...something?.... Sincerely Matt ID: 1349811 ·
