Here's something all your Money or Computer's will never get you in BOINC: http://volunteer.cs.und.edu/wildlife/top_bossa_users.php

I have Attained the Highest Bird Watching Badge @ the Present Time @ the Wildlife Project: A Quad Emerald Badge http://volunteer.cs.und.edu/wildlife/wildlife_badges/Feder4Emerald.png for watching 48 weeks (29,030,400 seconds) of Validated Video's ... You may end up with a Gazillion Credit's & the Highest Credit's in BOINC but you'll never get something like this Badge without a whole lot of Boring & very Tedious Manual Input ... :P

Interesting, really. You are correct, I will never obtain a badge there. My attention span isn't that great.

Do you get credit for that? Or just hours towards that badge?

Just Hr's Toward's the Badge, no BOINC Credit Involved at all, the Wu Portion of the Wildlife Project gives BOINC Credit though.

There's only about 7 people who have done any real amount of Video Viewing & you can cut that to 2 that have done some serious Viewing. Me & another guy who actually has been out viewing me for some time now, but I've cut back some during the Summer Time & have been just trying to get the last Badge. I'll still view some because there was some talk of another Badge for Event's Marked with the new Viewing Scheme but until Winter time it'll be just Limited Viewing ...

Yeah, too bad it'll never be listed as a MM though, never have been able to Coax them into listing the Viewing Video's as BOINC Credit ... :/

If I could, I would. I have asked for an export of that data which I could display as a separate metric easily enough..

That's a neat badge, SteVe. Definitely something most BOINCers will never have. BOK, if they ever get you the data, that would be a cool one to list. Probably take people a while to figure out how to get on the score board! ;)
