Been running SETI@home for more than 10 years now (on and off). I'm from Mexico but living in Canada.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI because I believe is a very important endeavour, its the best chance we have right now to find out if we're a singularity in this vast universe.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
