1) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit Status (Message 56958) Posted 25 Sep 2017 by Nigel Cade Post: No still don't get it. It's not as if I'm sat with paper and pencil doing the maths. The cpu, on my motherboard, is non sentient and does not get bored; it just moves electrons around, or that is my belief. When it comes down to it an awful lot of science comes down to blind faith. Perhaps the answer is to strip the credit out altogether and leave people to feel good or not about their contribution. Thanks for the tutorial on how to use the website.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Credit Status (Message 56947) Posted 24 Sep 2017 by Nigel Cade Post: I don't understand this credit "thing"; it's not as if they have a tangible value, like Nectar points or airmiles. You can do nothing with them apart from "my total is bigger than yours" and then what. The science is still being done and still needs to be done.
