I'm just thinking overall compared to other projects, as I'm not sure what the correct amount is. BOINCing since October 1999 ID: 306 · ▲ 0 Reply Quote

It's meant to be consistent and fair rather than inflated. Different projects use different multipliers so direct comparisons don't really tell you much. ID: 336 · ▲ 0 Reply Quote
