Hello together, i am Bernhard from the beautiful country Austria. I joint this long term project to support science. Boinc is running on 4 Systems. Lets see what the years will bring. Regards Bernhard |

Hello together, i am Bernhard from the beautiful country Austria. I joint this long term project to support science. Bernhard, welcome to Seti@home, you're very welcome. But you need to have a look at the computer number 4, it's generating only errors. P. |

it is good for you Markus. I am glad to hear from you here because I am like you passionate about space and my graduation project was in that field also called radio telescope multi-purpose. best regards. abdallah gomaa egypt |

Ohh, what can i do against these errors. In my log list is everything fine so far i see that. Regards |

Ohh, what can i do against these errors. In my log list is everything fine so far i see that. The comment was about this host. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=8901910 Nothing but errors for all tasks attempted. <stderr_txt> Either wait for the project to attempt sending you a more compatible app that does support PIE executables, or set up a anonymous platform with a known good working application or remove the device from Seti. Since you will be limited to one task a day with the amount of errored work so far produced, it could take months for the project to send you a compatible application.

Bence seti çalıştırmak sadece bir umut tan ibaret. sonucunun olmayacağını bildiğimiz bir umut, bizde bir ata sözü vardır(fakirin ekmeği umuttur)derler bu seti de onun gibi bir şey. Aslında radyo dalgalarını dinleme işi eskide kaldı. Yani bu teknoloji eskidi, günümüz yüzyılına göre orta çağ teknolojisi sayılır. Yapmamız gereken radyo dalgalarını dinlemek değil, Işık huzmelerini dinlemektir. Sonuçta bizden akıllı varlıklar arıyoruz değilmi? Neden bizim sahip olduğumuz teknolojiyi kullandıklarını düşünüyoruz ki. Bu sonuca kim nerden varmış onu da anlamadım zaten. Diyeceğim o ki radyo dalgalarını dinlemeyi bırakalım ışığı dinleyelim ve teknolojimizi bu yönde ilerletelim. (geçmiş olsun) hi from turkey |

I'd be more curious to know who would not want to run SETI@Home. :) Carl Kruse SETI League |

At this time I run this project out of curiosity. If any ET data is ever confirmed then humanity will simply have to adapt to the situation. |

I'd be more curious to know who would not want to run SETI@Home. :) exactly! as some famous german persons once said: "life without boinc is possible, but pointless" "less than a pixel" |

I have run SETI@Home myself since 2013 because I wanted to support the progress of basic science and since I think it is a waste of capital to leave my old computers just on the shelf. Why SETI@Home? Astronomers have made some of the most fascinating discoveries of the last century that have significantly increased our knowledge of and understanding of our place in the universe. Yet astronomers are poor (underfunded) scientists. Observing intelligent life on exoplanets is a next step that has been even more difficult to finance on scientific grounds. I would like to thank everyone at SETI for the good work done over the years, enthusiasm and the perseverance needed in all research. Hope you find ET in the end. For anyone looking for an alternative to SETI@Home, my advice is to support Einstein@Home or other Astronomy & Astrophysical BOINC projects. |

Why? The truth is out there! |

We are collectively engaged in finding the answer to what connects us all. We believe in life beyond our tiny planet. As I type this playing in the background is Steven Greer's latest release, Close encounters of the fifth kind. I'm following the subjectn of disclosure closely. Main stream media is engaged in a slow deliberate disclosure of the UFO/UAP situation. I am glued to the topic. Locally I follow Richard Dolan. Keep watching much news oin the topic is coming are way. |

I am a individual SETI member, since 1999 (last century ;) ), one of the first users. I´ve been installing (some times "ilegally") seti/boinc in all computers which I had acceses... My interest was both scientistic and "sporting". I´ve reached 433.000 credits by myself. Maybe I could reach more, but that´s all I could do. So good bye SETI, goodbye SAGAN, seems that you are being forgotten too fast. Good bye every body, it has been a good time with you! See you in the dark side of the moon. Emilio Sevilla Spain Earth |

I've noticed myself that there are two main groups here on the forums: "Hardware Hackers" and "Space Buffs". The "Hardware Hackers" seem to best represent the "Number Crunching" forum. "Space Buffs" probably follow the "News" and "Seti@home science" forums. [...] good perspective on the varied audience of these forums. I don't think it's only a bipartite group consisting of either hackers or trekkies. There are countless different motivations. Some of mine:

Bence seti çalıştırmak sadece bir umut tan ibaret. [translated:] I think running SETI is just a hope, a hope that we know will have no consequences. We have a saying from the ancestors: (the bread of the poor is hope). Seti is something like that. In fact, listening to radio waves is outdated. In other words, this technology is old and it has to be considered a medieval technology in this century. What we need to do is not listen to radio waves, but observe light beams instead. After all, we're looking for intelligent beings, right? Why do we think they use the technology we have? I do not understand who came to this conclusion and how it was concluded. I will say let's stop listening to radio waves. Let us observe light emissions instead and let's advance our technology in this direction. (Get well soon) |

Greetings From An Obsolete Old Fart! Kindly note that the only difference between radio and visible light is frequency. This raises the thought that we should be looking at more frequencies. I miss SETI. My PC is doing a lot of processing still, but it is not looking for aliens, to my knowledge. Looking for aliens is its own reward. If we find them, we must decide what to do with them, or perhaps, they will decide what to do with us. Best Regards To The Younger Generations! Rich |

The 26 March issue of Berkeley Online describes the PANOSETI project for search of laser pulses by optical telescopes at the Lick Observatory. The project includes UC Berkeley, UC San Diego and Harvard U. I wonder if the COD-19 emergency will have any impact on this project as it already has on other projects and the ESA BepiColombo mission bound to Mercury with reduced staff controlling the flyby of Earth and the following 2 two of Venus in next October.

I chose Seti because that was the only thing back then. Later I stuck with it because I figured though its chance of success might be slim, it was potentially more beneficial than all other computation projects put together. There seem to be no other such projects at the moment, though I can't conceive of what one would be. "Help find the Mole People by analyzing earthquake waves!" |
