Oh, hey. I just noticed my star expired.

I think I'll have to wait until next month to renew it. Got no paycheck last week and the next one will be for one day (maybe two).

When did that happen. I renewed mine July 31st, and got my renewed star within an hour. So, once David renews; he too, should have a star within an hour of donation. (Yes/No????)

I did last month. Also it seems, or did then, that the calculation was off by one month, so you had a star for 11 months not 12 or a full year.

I just checked. The date of my last donation is accurate.

So was mine... July 14th is when I should have renewed; however, for some reason, I didn't notice the star was gone until July 31st...

I think that Uli might have been referring to people donating by check or money order when they were purchasing t-shirts. The t-shirts are being provided at cost + shipping, but many people have generously donated additional funds while purchasing shirts. Thank you!

If donors go through the link at this site, the green stars should show up pretty quickly. I think Matt has been processing the green stars for donors who went through other channels.

We were sitting at the dinner table when I handed you the money. You said it had to wait till September to show, could've been a misunderstanding:)

Got this in my Email today:

Thank you for your gift to:

SETI@home

We received your gift of $33.00 via Visa on 08/13/2014. Your confirmation number is 136259.


Thanx Uli, it also shows on my account page now:)

Any donations made through the normal Seti/Berkeley donations link from the main Seti home page have always for me, been recorded and awarded in very short order.
Donations made through other channels that require manual intervention by the Seti staff may take a longer time to be recognized.

If anybody wishes to renew their green star, a $10.00 donation is all it takes via the Wonderful Seti donation link.
And you're good to go for a year (or 11 months if there is some technical glitch...LOL.)

I should remove that, as it not really any longer needed. The donation department is very helpful either via phone or e-mail.
One of our Finish Donors had some issues and it was resolved. I made a transaction for another friend a bit ago and needed to call.

I'll more than likely join you as to me, the numbers just do not add up. The first time I got a badge, my RAC was over 1000. Got it back last night with an RAC of 738.

I cannot believe that with all the active crunchers on this project that 738 gets me into the 25% band!

For me, it was acceptable to see the badges on one's account pages, but to see them all over the place now, seems to me like dumbing down to the level of social networking trolling.

I donate to a science project that needs that funding. To see it joining the social networking media "Jetset" will end my funding of this project.

Dont get me wrong its everyones own decission but punishing the project whilst this issue is a boinc or DA problem to me is at least questionable.
The majority in boinc world seems to want it.
I thought you like that.
