After 20 years of SetiHome, I have just calculated and uploaded my last packages. Thank you for this exciting project.
I never forget you.
Greetings from Cologne Germany

I am basically checking hourly, when the last work unit will be done... more than 20 years... I´ll open a nice bottle of craftbeer and raise it up to the Seti Team and all my respected co crunchers! Bye to you all and see you in a different project. :)

My last work units will be finished by the 2nd April and uploaded,
thanks to all of those involved in SETI@home,
to those of you who work and are unseen
and to those of you who post in the forums.

Thanks for the past 20+ years of keeping the dream alive.

Hey everyone.
I've been crunching since the 31st of May 1999 initially on a PowerMac G4 and ending up with 6 PC's and a MacPro. I've really enjoyed contributing to this project and hope something will come from all this work submitted by so many. Lots of great things have come and gone in this time and this is just another set to finish. Good luck everybody and fingers crossed the Project achieves exposure it deserves.
Love from the UK (from someone born in New Zealand)….

Agreed. I read about the "special sauce" for so long, in January of this year (with significant hand-holding from Keith) got my first capable card running in Ubuntu. Three months is better than nothing. I went from 1 million credits over 18 years off and on to 7 million 3 months later.

The frequent posters have been amazing at providing assistance to those of us who just drop by every so often.

Hats off to so many for whom this isn't a hobby - it's a passion.

It's been a great ride. Joined on 5/25/99. It took over 9 years for the first million WUs. Made 100,000,000 in November 2015.
Then things really took off when I got competitive. Had hoped to hit 500M but all's well that ends well.
I'm proud to retire in the top 50.

Best to everyone.

I wish scientists behind SETI@Home to write at least a few interesting scientific papers.
Hopefully all these data contain something unexpected and interesting after all.
Good luck!

Goodbye all. Been here since 29 May 1999. Nearly 8 years ago went to a quad core. A bit over 2 years with an OK GPU. There was a time when I did a whole 80 credits a day, now I'm over 10K a day. It's been fun. Probably heading to Folding@Home next. Thanks for the help when asked.

See you all on the flipside.

Well, over the years I managed to accumulate 167,563,032 credits, I sure wish we had found something.

It's been an interesting run since 31May1999. An adventure in crunching across explosive growth in computing capabilities, with clever people optimizing code along the way.

It's been fun!
