Hello, My name is Anders and i am a new user here. (From Norway). I have a few questions if some one can answere me. Never done somthing like this before. It`s kinda "Grinding/mining" i guess. Little hard fore me to understand that what i am doing now can help...... And how? Understanding that a computer use mine to calculate somthing, but like what? I know in BITCOIN world they use like a ANT miner that is like: AntMiner S5 ~1155Gh/s @ 0.51W/Gh 28nm ASIC Bitcoin Miner can use this fore helping you in resertch? If not, why`? Last question: I also have a cellphone that i use. And i have make a team called; Norge, Drammen. And in the phone/software i cannot see anywhere that i can find a team and join theme. How to join? Mvh Anders, Norway |

From the top of the HOME page: "What is SETI@home? SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data." No, you can't use ASIC because ASIC means "Application-specific integrated circuit" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit So ASIC developed for the specific purpose "Bitcoin Miner" (I think they calculate SHA-256) can't be used here. (Only if someone develops ASIC for SETI@home (or at least for Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)) it may (someday) be used) What Hardware/OS can be used (Applications available): http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/apps.php More links with info (some are written >10 years ago - the look of the program is different but the principles are still relevant): http://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu/about_seti/about_seti_at_home_1.html http://seticlassic.ssl.berkeley.edu/screensaver/index.html http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sah_glossary.php http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ap_faq.php Team is per account, you are now in "Norway, Drammen" Any computer/phone you attach/add to this account will automatically be also in the Team (i.e. your account is in a Team, all devices that add credit to your account will also add the same credit to the Team) http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/hosts_user.php?userid=10294900 Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |
