I am new to this Seti @ Home thing.
After a few weeks I have all these credits built up.
What are they for?

Credits are used by the projects to pay you in reply to you volunteering your computer to them. They have no value, you can only use them to compare how well your computer does against other computers.

Apropos, we're NOT the Seti forums. Those can be found at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_community.php

I use mine to buy cigarettes. Kinda stupid really, as I don't smoke.

Cheers,
