“ Men and Women wanted for a hazardous distributed computing Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Low wages, bitter false positives, long hours of data crunching, overheating CPU's and GPUs. Safe return doubtful without caffeinated beverages. Honour and recognition in event of technosignal detection.” (adapted from the apocryphal newspaper ad made by famed explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton)
SETI@home is down? A check list https://setiathomeirclinks.blogspot.com/2019/04/is-setihome-down.html
"Get your circle of people involved. It isn't all about the fastest server farm (though those are important), it is about reaching people and making them a part of something bigger even if they only have a crappy slow machine at home. It is part a public relations outreach as we make people feel a part of something that they will then maybe financially donate to, and/or elect science friendly politicians who will help. I can't wait for my new seti shirt to get here, and remind people that this project is still around after 20 years and hopefully get more people in the tent." - Unixchick https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=83777&postid=1990998

To alleviate the load on the SETI@home servers during tuesday's outages and to give normal users the chance to replenish their work unit caches, you can set BOINC to temporarily stop polling them. Details at https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84048&postid=1986061

https://blackholesathome.net The BlackHoles@Home BOINC client (which will enable you to benefit gravitational wave astronomy with your spare CPU cycles) is under development. Please sign up for the newsletter to stay apprised of the latest progress. We'll need your help when the time comes!
