    Default Someone here with too much money?

    News from PrimeGrid:

    2006-01-05 13:03:20 UTC Please support
    As you may have noticed, PrimeGrid has been very slow recently and timeouts are occuring now and then.
    We are now trying to build a brand new server, but this will not happen without your help, as we are seriously lacking money for the construction of the server.
    The server will be constructed by Sascha Bickel ("BOINC Team Science and Research Hessen") and will be hosted in Germany. All donations are directed to him to reduce money transfer expenses.
    Please visit donation page to donate.
    So if someone has too much money, you know what to do with it If that someone believes in this project. Hm, personally, I don't have too much money and I don't believe in it

    If they even cannot afford 1.000 Euro for a new PC, then I'm thinking that even the "Research Facility" in Wetzlar (30km from Frankfurt) don't take the project seriously

    A decent server costs a lot more then 1.000 euro but your point is right. If you launch a project and you are counting on the participation of thousands of volunteers then if you can't even get the money for your own hardware you have a serious problem.

    To be honest I hope that they don't get too much positive respons because if not there will probably be a lot of people trying to raise money this way and they are not all that honest
