Gridcoin on SETI@home homepage

SETI@home is a distributed computing platform operating since 1999. With a little more than 100.000 active members, their purpose is to analyse radio signals in the search for signs of extra-terrestrial intelligence. At the end of 2005, they started using BOINC to distribute work over the internet to participating computers which helped them reaching a broader community.

SETI@home is also one of the 26 whitelisted Gridcoin projects. Gridcoin rewards BOINC users in paying them for their computing efforts, which can help to offset a part of the costs like electricity bills. Team Gridcoin has 1,229 active members on this project and generates 2.8% of the total RAC output.

Yesterday Hive account@prescott wrote an article about SETI@home accepting Gridcoin donations and today it is highlighted on their homepage in the news section. The article on the forum can be found here

Below I have added a snapshot of the homepage with the news.

Now you can support SETI@home by donating your earned Gridcoins on the project!
