"wow" will do. Unbelievable. Fast radio bursts. . . I've been data-crunching for a bit over 2 years on SETI@home (November 9, 2011 was the date I signed up). To be part of this endeavor is incredible! Thanks!

if I am getting credit for computer usage... where does that money go... to me or to the college????

The "credits" you receive for computer usage is not monetized. The credits you receive are a made-up form derived from something invented by SETI software developer and SysAdmin Jeff Cobb, which he referred to as "Cobblestones".

In other words, your credits are not money and they only exist on the project for which you are crunching.

@Hbrant132: HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Epic! ROFLMAO!!!
Which college are you at, btw? Just curious..

haha same question. Cobblestones != Bitcoins

When SETI fix a Paypal they will get some money from me to...util then they will get just a credits ;)

You are aware that SETI has no say as to whether
PayPal gets used or not?

Just donate to the university and use a credit card not a debit card and you are protected, at least in this country.

The GPU Users Group (http://www.gpuug.org/) has set up a way to make Paypal donations which are passed on to the project.

                                                                   Joe

So... I'm considering a donation but I'd like to see a more detailed budget, if possible. The one listed is very broad in scope, and I'd kind of like to see what folks are being paid to run this project and how they determine that they need $120k for "systems administration and support", for instance?

Last I heard, posting the Budget is up to Eric. We all know how precious his time is.
The pay is nothing to write home about. Why do you think Matt goes on Tour? Much more profitable.
Sure it would be nice to have a more up to date Budget, but I donate because I care to keep the door open.
Thank you Andnerb and Thomas for your donations.

That's an old budget, SETI@home Budget - Winter 2011 and certainly not the current budget, which the link from the donation page suggests. We haven't seen any budget for 2012 or 2013. And since 2013 is almost over, there ought to be a budget for 2014 by now also.

This project doesn't seems to be especially serious when it comes to economics. Before they ask for donations, one would at least expect an up to date budget posted/linked from the donation page, and not an old budget from 2011, not very detailed either.

And at least some scientific and/or technical news - not every week, but maybe every month?! So we know what's goin' on.

Thank you Andnerb and Thomas for your donations.

You're welcome Uli :)
