2) Message boards : News : SETI@home hibernation (Message 2036001) Posted 5 Mar 2020 by FractalTS Post: Reading the news post that SETI@Home is going into "Hibernation" as of 31 MAR 2020 reads a little bit like the US PATENT & TRADE OFFICE declaring they were going to shut down in 1899 because "Everything that can be invented has been". It was obviously an incorrect statement. Notwithstanding there is a huge backend amount of data that requires analysis, there remains huge quadrants of the sky that have NEVER been scanned, either by Arecibo or the Green Bank Telescope - so from my perspective, the work is not even close to being done. If anything, this makes the case for the need for MORE data crunchers, not hibernating the dissemination of work units for front-end analysis using the SETI@Home app (even all these years later embedded in BOINC). I have been a loyal SETI@Home end user and supporter since July, 2001 - so that works out to going on almost 19-years of continuous 24/7x365 dedicated CPU resource usage - and I am disappointed to see that effort coming to a close when so much more space is yet to be scanned for potential signals that are at the core of this mission.

5) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Transfer Completed Work Units from SetiQueue (Message 203005) Posted 4 Dec 2005 by FractalTS Post: How do I route completed work units analyzed using the Seti@Home Classic software that are housed (backlogged) in the SetiQueue application now that the Classic Seti@Home software has posted a Shutdown date of 12/15/2005 - and my completed work units are no longer uploading back to the Classic Seti@Home server?
