You think than someone crunching for the project as they can is less importantant than someone who makes a $0.50 donation? That's clearly what you are saying here! .... Clearly, you haven't the capability to comprehend what one says. Only a MORON would say that I said something that I did not say. I, and you, and most everyone else here [excluding those with multiple accounts with which to carry out their nefarious deeds] are "donating" computer CPU cycles to the project. Some of us, with a deeper belief in the science of the project, have taken it upon ourselves to "donate" monitarily. That, in and of itself, does NOT say that "donating" funds is "more important" than one who just crunches. It shows that we are willing to help the project remain alive. "Donating" CPU cycles, does not pay the bills at UCB. Now, what crap are you going to come up with to counter that? None, I hope.... You have no logic that counters mine....

The system is hardly perfect as you pointed out with your $0.50 example... I see in the not-too-distant future color-coded stars for different levels of monetary donation, maybe gears for donated equipment, etc. It may come to a point of including color-coded hourglasses for time-on-project and a contest to see who can come up with the best geometric representation of a credit. Why not just list the exact ca$h amount next to credit amount. ID: 164960 ·
