I'm from New Zealand, land of kiwifruit and sheep.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I'm probably more interested in how SETI@home works, distributed programming etc, than any possible result I could find.
Really like the points thing. It's like a royalty rewards programme. Only you can never use your credits.
Maybe you could come up with an online store that you can spend your credits in.. Just have to figure out a way to stop Team Germany with their 95 million points from buying up everyting...
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.
