    Hrummpphhh...if only the had better credit I would love to be the #1 contributing team. Their science is awesome, but why so stingy with the payout? It's not like it "costs" them anything to give a half-way decent credit for time crunched!

    Agreed. In fact, they should pay MORE than others, since they also require so much CPU. For example, you can run 3 tasks on a 7970, but only if you give it .5-1 CPU cores per task. Yikes!

    To those who do that we call Credit-Whores Carlos but at the same time, the credits should be proporcional to the amount of crunching each one gives. here goes one article with the titlle: "BOINC: Why you should care about the credit-system"

    I crunch it regardless. Since Asteroids went to 100% error now on all Android WU's, I have steered one of my phones there. Yeah, I know, not much at all, but I still love the project and they have a number of sub-projects now that is good for the WUProp people.

    Yup. Finding some pulsar a bazillion light years away is cool, but getting more credits than everyone else is cooler.
