It's another word for credit. Look here in the Wiki: A Cobblestone is 1/100 day of CPU Time on a Reference Computer that does: 1,000 double-precision MIPS based on the Whetstone Benchmark. 1,000 VAX MIPS based on the Dhrystone Benchmark. The Cobblestone is named after Jeff Cobb of SETI@Home, for what reason I am not sure. ID: 24336 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I've made every effort to make most of them informative, understandable, and helpful to other Rosetta contributors. I hope you have been aided by them and found them useful.
