Thanks,

I removed SETI from the BOINC Manager which cleared up all the hanging results. Now SETI is no longer available for reloading to the manager. However, what is important is that the SETI results are still present in all the statistics reports. Which I want to keep for historical reasons.

Download your certificates and for good measure, take a screenshot of your results page?

I'm sure s@h will be kept online for some time yet but eventually the project must move on if only for the sake of the constraints of funding.

And no doubt further new searches will be done with renewed knowledge!


Keep searchin'!

We apparently received a signal from Alpha Centauri. Is anyone analyzing that and if so, what have they found out about the signal?

Could you please explain where you learned about this reported signal from Alpha Centauri ? I'm sure everyone here would be interested, if such a signal has been received. Thank you.

added- Could you be referring to the candidate signal received from the Parkes Observatory in Australia, in December, 2020? If so, please see the linked article from the SETI Institute. They reported, quite some time ago, that this signal was ascribed to Earthly interference. Many similar signals were discovered, when the telescope wasn't aimed at Alpha Centauri. A convincing case was made for this conclusion.

Dear all,

It's been more than three years since the first post in this thread. Is SETI@Home still considered "in hibernation" ?

When a bear hibernates, it is expected that it will eventually wake up and spring back to life.

Should we expect the same from SETI@Home ? Any positive news on that front ?

Best regards,

Samuel

Thanks for a good question.


s@h has a large fantastic userbase of enthusiasm...

There are some reobservations planned on the Chinese FAST...

After that?... Who knows if a new researcher jumps onboard with a new grant?...

Next week? Or next decade?? (Or next never?)

Meanwhile, we have life on the forums still.

If you read this line from the original post:

We hope that other UC Berkeley astronomers will find uses for the huge computing capabilities of SETI@home for SETI or related areas like cosmology and pulsar research. If this happens, SETI@home will start distributing work again. We'll keep you posted about this.


I take that to mean it would require a new team to ressurect the project. It seems highly unlikely it would return in the same format. Personally as it was never really a "green" project, in that it kept thousands of computers running when they shoould have been idle, I for one would not rejoin if it did start up again.

You mentioned that you are processing the current results of the project. Is there a possibility of the project starting up again by looking at a different portion of the sky?
If that is a possibility, when is a projected startup date?
And with the damage and decommissioning of the arecibo radio telescope, if the SETI program is brought back, what telescope will be used in it's place?
Thanks in advance

I just thought of S@H for unknown reason and came here to see what the current status was and was a bit surprised to see it shut down in 2020. Oh well, it is what it is. First joined S@H with Classic back in 1999 and miss the old Classic screensaver over the Boinc one anyway. Going to search and see if I could get the old classic screensaver running on my MiniPC and MacBook Pro (Win VM) just for the screensaver. Perhaps just crunching the same work over and over. Wow, 23 years. The height of S@H for me was when I use to use S@H to kind of benchmark machines back when I built dual-P3’s. Anyone still using S@H just as a screensaver? Anyone using Classic (or one developed based on it) as such? It’s be a really cool screensaver under Raspbian and other Linux-derived RPi OS’s…

When are you SETI guys (and gals) gonna get this thing up and running again? I mean, c'mon! It's been three years! I liked seeing the data analyzed from SETI on my computer as a screensaver! It seems none of the other projects available on BOINC have that functionality.

Hello I was attempting to resume my participation to this project by reinstalling BOINC but it seems to be over now.

Since this "end" topic has been open since 2020....any news from the results you analysed????

I'm sad. French contributor for at least 15 years. I said to myself, it's weird, I don't get any more tasks. Nevermind. The goal is to find and therefore analyze the enormous mass of data collected. Good Luck. We believe in.[/b]

The continued support for Seti@home after several years of hibernation is amazing! The one thing that would alter the course of humanity is the discovery of a single from space. I would rather pay $7/month for Seti@home2.0 than Twitter/X. Who's on board with that??
