"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! Viola Fury |

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. |

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. Pluto will always be a planet to me.
