I have run SETI for years for AMDMB.com untill I discovered how much a waste of time, money, and power it is. After crunching almost 5,000units and spending countless $'s on equipment and powers bills enough is enough. The units get crunched 12 times each and only 3 of the units are kept for anylization. And those are usually disgarded as usless. SETI 2 and Astropulse look better, but still. Woopeteedoo. Even if they find something relevant it will take hundreds of years to do anything about it. By then we will not have needed SETI at all. Waste of time. Better off giving money to NASA for their real explorations of other planets.
I would rather crunch for something that might help in the near future. Maybe even my or my kids lifetime. D.F. has that potential and the client is better than the other Folding projects.
