SETI@Home needs your help - urgently!
Pepo:
Simon, I see you've got it. Nice it is.
Another question along with this, maybe you've agreed with Eric on some details - is any minimum amount (maybe during last 12 months) necessary to get the green star displayed? Or really "any amount is enough"?
Simon:
Pepo,
personally, I think any donation should be recognized.
Not sure how Berkeley sees it, but that's how I'll handle it (in effect, I'm passing on all donation infos in an automated way, how they dole out the stars is up to them).
Only thing is, PayPal charges on very small donations are pretty high, percentage-wise, so that's not so great, but something's always better than nothing, isn't it?
Regards,
Simon.
Pepo:
Yes, sure, yes, ...
This way there is finally the chance that also a large amount of tiny-to-small donations can sum up to something really important.
And Berkeley can (later) decide, how to recognize (some number of) such small donations. Actually any star is secondary, yet probably motivating or satisfactory.

Sorry, Simon, I'm either blind or forgot (or both):
From Your Donations... page:
--- Quote from: SETI@home ---...if you donated more than $10 in the last year an icon () will show up next to your user name...

This makes it clear.
Maybe the main SETI@home Donation page should state the same once the PayPal section gets corrected.

Hi Simon,
which size a donation must have to have the best relation in terms of donated money over PayPal fees?
