It has gotten disgusting how much they have cut the credit over there. I did some (rather quick) figuring this morning and I see that I am getting better credit per second of shrubbing in SETI and POEM then MW.

Yes Poem! Absurd.

The admin there stated that other project admins asked him to lower the credit the project gives, they're still trying to figure out the best credit awarding method yet...

But yes, credit is VERY low right now...

I read that the other projects were complaining. They complained about Einsten & Cosmology & look at the # of people that abandoned them when the credit was shredded...

I fear that MW is on the same path.

Still stuck in the world of 32. I wouldn't mind finding the hella credit of the 32 bit world though...

If you have a 64 bit capable CPU, you can use Wubi and do a 64 bit install of Ubuntu in Windows. All you need is about 10gb of free space on the HD, and you have a dual boot system. That is how I installed it...

I too, drank freely at the Milky Way udder until they reduced the credits by about 75% if I remember correctly...but I have an advanced case of CRS. Shredding SHA-1 100% now to help the POTM cause.

I really backed off a couple of weeks ago when everything went a bit wonky with their database and I lost credit for 30-40 WU's. Glad I did now that they've cut credit so much.

"Aw shucks, no points necessary, maam.....but I will have just one more PGGB."

Let me rephrase that. "I'm glad I did now, so I had more computing time available to run the PoTM." Is that better? #ni-1

Yes Grasshopper, time is better than points. But still the work that you accomplish is better than any measure of time or points. Now go, and crunch wildly for the greater good with no regard to distracting rewards!
