Do we have any other former SETI@home users here?

I'm still bummed that the project stopped and for that matter that nothing really came of their analyzation phase. Nothing seems to have happened since they moth balled it..

I wasn't the most active user by by far but I had tens of thousands of classic cpu hours and some millions od current score after close to 20 years of on and off participation.

Sure, there are other projects I could join but.. there was something magical about SETI to me.

For those who never heard of the project:

https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

You could donate spare cpu cycles to help analyze data from the Arecibo radio telescope to look for signs of artificial signals. You had it running in the background and as a screensaver if you wanted to see what you were analyzing.

I'm sure most of you have heard of it or similar distributed computing projects. There are plenty to choose from using BOINC (that S@h used) over at https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

https://foldingathome.org/ is one if the most known similar ones.

I just wanted to vent a bit.

I'm still struck now and then by the fact that they stopped the project and I get bummed out..
