If this project ever figures out how to access the sensors in my Sony Vaio or Dell inspiron then I will jump on this project.

How are points accreted? is it worth the $50 for the dingle?

Worth $50 for a sensor, dunno, you will have to decide.
I'm guessing if one is interested in the project and it's science $50 isn't too much, might be a little steep if one is only interested in the credit though...

And is it tax deductible?
