Last modified: 2 Mar 2020, 21:21:08 UTC No, I said all I can say under the circumstances. Just keep an eye on the News forum. How long is this "news" going to take to be released? A day .....year Now. I hope it is about SETI shutting down the crunching part of the project, for an extended time, or forever. It's run its course, and now it's time for the analyzing of all 20+ years worth of results. Sten, you totally nailed it. I usually find the most unpleasant answer is the correct one as well. :^) ID: 2035165 · Reply Quote

Can`t report any work, do they already unplug the servers? No... There's already a system-wide slowdown... Likely due to the credit hounds gobbling up all the remaining available WUs!

Keep searchin', Martin Can't really do that when the servers aren't sending out any work now can ya? The current problem is something else. Maybe making system tweaks to prepare for tomorrow's outage? maybe making some other tweaks to prepare for D-Day? (Mar 31). We can only speculate.

Well, I won't reach my goal of 50 million credit, before it's over. But that's OK, and something I can live without :-) Now to the analyzing, and to find out if ET use Radio waves or something else. I imagine there will be some cleanup work to do unless they are going to do this all in house. Either way I hope I get credit for our pending work. If I don't that is also ok ID: 2035295 · Reply Quote
