Given that so many have already helped with SETI@Home and used far more of their resources than $1, I'd say that's definitely true.

For instance, back in the 1990's, I had a NeXT, a couple Apollos, an SGI Challenge, and a few Macs cranking away on SETI@Home blocks, some of those machines running 24/7.

Aha, clearly the solution is to release a new version of SETI@home that mines Bitcoins and donates them to SETI.
