I had 8 of them running at once. took forever to complete. 40min for 2,000 Credits is forever? Yes especially when actually I think it was 10 and 2 running on the gpu's watching them and trying to see any progress. the gpu tasks went measurably well. The credits are not given until validated so I showed 0 credits for 24 hrs

Bingo.

I have purchased several pc components and built extra computers to accelerate my seti@home peformance.

I fail to understand this concept of diminishing returns but I may have misunderstood the scope of the project. Obviously I am not the only one failing to understand how or why we would discontinue filtering signals from extraterrestrial sources. Were we waiting for a signal in a 20 year timespan and now that window has closed? Are we continuing to filter signals for possible intelligent extraterrestrial sources? Has it now become impossible to filter out the interference from man made sources and what are those sources? Is there now available a superior method of computing power to process the data and we are no longer a productive source of computing power for this project? Is the decision in any way a result of politics. Why would anyone think there would not be questions resulting from ending a project that at its very purpose is curiosity and answering the question "Are we all alone in the universe"
