Looks like they're definitely getting close.

 

[BlackMountainCow]

Wowo ... finally ... no, wait ... have we heard that before, that SETI I is going to end "sooon" ??

 

[Assimilator1]

Definitely sounds closer

 

[Rattledagger]

Hmm, they've changed the link from my 1st activated account to the 2nd, so looks like they've scrapped to use seti_boinc...

Anyway, seti@home for BOINC is not officially announced, and they're still using the same v3.07-debug-build as in beta. The release-build should be v4...

Hey guys we've got to get crunching

 

[zaph]

Pretty good timing, only 900 WU to go till i hit 25k in seti "classic" then i'll sic the herd on Boinc .

 

[lobadobadingdong]

most of my seti fleet will die when seti1 dies, at least until a good service install is setup for it.

 

[Unforgiven]

pardon my ignorance but does this just mean that the BOINC software itself is ready and the SETI II part of it is still beta? please fill a brotha in.

As of this post I've got the #8 computer in the world http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/top_hosts.php

 

[teriba]

I got it all installed and it's running. Each of the work units really seem to go quickly (16 minutes or so). Is each one a WU?

If you looks closely on your BOINC-directory after install, you've got 2 executables, boinc_gui that is linked as shortcut, and BOINC_CLI. The latter is the command-line-version, and has built-in service-install.
So after joining seti@home & setting up proxy if neccessary, just issue boinc_cli -install and you've ready to run. The 1st time you must manually start the service, or reboot.

teriba, currently the 1st part of the wu is very fast, but soon it will slow down. Due to it's currently being debug-build, it's roughtly 75% slower... Of course, it's only the windows-version that have so much debug-code so...


Also remember, BOINC is currently not released, and the seti@home-site really is only announced to a limited number of testers. Unsure if one of these was loud-mouthed and announced it, or someone like me stumbled on the url...

I know myself & others will loose large parts of thier fleet when S@H2 kicks in because of the lack of any SETIQ replacement.

I cannot run my work rigs without a centralised point to send & collect WUs & be able to run it off my flash drive

Nice! ,pitty the link doesn't work though so I could actually see it!

Today's post on the SETIBOINC front page:

NOTICE: this project is not officially active. Use at your own risk. We may delete results and reset credits at any time.

I noticed that we've got a TeAmmate that managed to get credits posted, so we made it into the top 20 teams

 

[zaph]

lol
as of this writing, it seems i am the team leader credit-wise

well, i guess i'll enjoy the beer, broads and (hot-tub) bubbles while they last.

[Rattledagger]

Well, Anandtech is off the 1st page.

Currently account creation is disabled, unsure if transporting the old seti@home-account across also is disabled...

 

[teriba]

I'm registered and crunching. I've done two WUs but I haven't received any credit yet.

 

[compudog]

Until the kinks are worked out with BOINC and there is a cetralized (SETIQ) method, I'm switch all over to DPAD. I like the SETI project and TeAm, and the science, but I can only sneaker-net most at work.

 

[aberant]

so just to clarify, does this mean we're at the point where boinc is mainstream ? i.e. should i be changing over.............

 

[Assimilator1]

Read the thread mate ,no its not ready to roll yet.

I've heard a rumor that ET is interfering and messing things up. :Q

They don't want anyone else to be found ... want to be the only "one".

















Conspiracy Theory: ET has already been found! :shocked:
