Though I'm not quite ready to jump ship yet, any other Space/SciFi/Alien projects that more or less provide 24-7 work with an interactive project staff? (and Linux GPU support)


What do you mean with "interactive project staff" ?

Actually, Seti@Home is not much fun any more, with the outages, droughts, problems, speculations...and CreditScrew.
Sorry about being so pessimistic, folks.... ;-)

Well, you have to be optimistic when running Seti.
That's what it's really all about.
Being optimistic that we may find that proof we are all looking for.

Most BOINC based projects do not have enough staff or funding to give 24/7/356.25 support or coverage. Many are even worse than SETI at communicating or supplying data :-( As for Linux support for GPUs- well you have to look at the tags to see if they do, and then good luck, because some are better than others....

Hmmm.....
Was hoping to see some splitter action by now.
The problem must be proving to be a tougher nut to crack than hoped for.
I am sure they are working on it.

Meowsigh.

The splitter problem is turning out to be at least as much fun as the Tuesday outrage.

Anybody from Beta remember how long it took them to get the splitters working there after the server code update?

I think it took 2 weeks or so to fix the Beta splitters.

Edit: Exactly: From 20 Dec 2017, 1:30:42 UTC, and until 10 Jan 2018, 17:48:33 UTC

Well, that's certainly encouraging news.

Present lack of work- most likely the server update that worked on Beta (after it was fixed for breaking the splitters there), broke the splitters here.


if that's the case, they know the fix. (having done the same thing on Beta...) Let's hope it doesn't take them as long to fix production as it did Beta, though...

It appears the decline has steepened even more. I added the first 1060 around mid-Oct, the second around mid-Dec. It did a moonshot to above 100k, then the Arecibo tasks stopped. The best I can determine, it Might settle out around 70k...maybe. That depends IF we ever get tasks again.

. . I have received the resend of these files about 4 times this morning. I am not sure just what it means but it is what you get if you select "reset project".

I got a reply from Dr. Korpela about five hours ago; the splitters were reporting themselves as fine with normal output but weren't actually doing any work. This is why it wasn't caught after the outrage. So it will take a while to fill all those hungry caches but it's working.

Those naughty splitters...
