SETI@home Becomes Part of BOINC

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hard-to-choose dept.

Sudoku writes "On December 15th the Seti@home project will stop issuing new work to members and integrate with BOINC, the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing. Once members have moved over to the BOINC client they can divide their computing time between such projects as climate prediction, search for gravitational signals emitted by pulsars and yes, you can still look for the aliens."

    Didn't they already move over to BOINC? I've been running SETI on BOINC for a while now.

    I've been using Seti through Boinc for almost a year now, all this happens to be is them offically forcing everyone to move over.

    I'm in the top 0.5 % and #39 in my Class with over 11k units mostly on a single machine. If I can't transfer that because I forgot my original password and changed email addresses since then, well screw it. I'll fold proteins to keep my apt warm.
