Group Question: To what project are you going to direct all your NVIDIA computing power after March 31?

GPU-s to Einstein@Home, CPU-s to Rosetta@Home. :)

It was a near 20 years ride that I will remember till my last day! I hope our data to be useful for for some scientific breakthrough.

Big thank you to the staff of the project!

It's only natural that they have to shut down SETI. The risk that we would be spreading the Coronavirus through our computers,
are way way too high. That would be a global catastrophy of course.....

It's possible that the virus came to Earth through the Arecibo telescope, or through the Green Bank Telescope. It could be an attack from some Alien civilization, in preparation for a full scale invasion....

The safest thing to do now, would be to stop sending out work immediately, but if they do not do that, I do hope that the project have a good Anti Virus program, scanning the work they are sending out now.


LOLOLOLOL Best sarcasm ever )))),... really people : And " wash you hands after you send finnished task from your computer - boinc manager back to projects servers " ,,,,

Somebody (all of us) needs to take Dr. Korpela and all the Seti@Home staff out to a really nice dinner and celebrate the wonderful contributions to Seti@Home over the years.

21 years...INCREDIBLE RUN!

I feel like a part of my daily life is coming to an end. I have been processing work units since May 15 1999 and Seti@home has become just a normal part of my life. I will look at other BOINC projects but to me any other project will just not be the same. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think I may convert some of my more powerful computers to GPU mining bitcoin and see how that goes for a while. At least mining will offset some of the investment in hardware. Best of luck to the S@H team!

I feel a little upset about this sudden "hibernation".

After 20 years of work, several changes in technology, etc. Suddenly: "Thats it guys see u later.."

Guess I have no words to express my feelings right now.

Same here ! What do you know about "Gridcoin" . Is that legit ? Seems to use BOINC for distributed mining. TIA

Gridcoin is legit but don't expect to get rich (unless Gridcoin becomes the next big thing in crypto...seems unlikely but you never know). You'll earn more by mining another crypto but with Gridcoin you get to participate in useful work and perhaps earn a few pennies along the way. Basically you just run BOINC like you usually do, install and setup the Gridcoin wallet, and you are good to go.

Hi Swabbie,

The day before April Fools Day... Hmmm... Never thought of that. Would be hilarious if you are correct. ;) I haven't done anything to my garden of computers to crunch other projects. :)

Several years ago a radio station in San Diego got hundreds of people parked out by Montgomery Field airport waiting for the space shuttle to land. Never did and I didn't get hooked. :)

Have a great day! :)

WT!!!!! S@H goes into hibernation soon, and UCB INSTANTLY shoots out an email to all S@H participants( I am SURE EVERY person signing up for S@H crunching or NOT Crunching, has their email addy in UCB system) , this email asking for DONATIONs. Monies going to many many many 'worthy' recipients.

This UCB email to S@H crunchers; donors; or never donated; never crunched; is called dA BIG GIVE. C'mon, give me a break.

UCB has how many TENs of BILLIONs in their coffers? Yeah, a bunch. C'MON NOW!!!!!!

MAN O LIVE.

Jimi Hendrix sang 'ET lookin' Down on Us, LAUGHING. they say: "those people so uptight, they sho do know how to make a mess"'.

Yep

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

You do more of the same thing and get fewer rewards.

Better to have your computers do something useful, as in crunch for science and get paid a bit, than simply burning power for crypto which does nothing useful other than stake the blockchain.
