BOINC Transition Is Here!!
Posted: 06-24-2004 01:37 AM
At long last, the BOINC project is in the transition phase. You can find out more by going to
http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/
You can use the same account e-mail addy that you used for the Original SAH but you'll need to activate it. That is all explained at the above site. Or, you can sign up with a new account and start fresh, whichever you prefer. The results you earned for SETI@home will stay their and be archived for future reference. The BOINC version will use a different credit system which is beyond the scope of this post...you'll have to read about Cobblestones (the new credit system) on the BOINC/SAH website above. Make sure you read through and understand everything on the site so you know how everything will work. It can be a bit confusing at first so have patience.
I will still be your humble webmaster as the transition takes place and on into a fully BOINC-centric SETI@home evolves. I will try to figure out a new system for the stats page so that there is little downtime with BOINC stats. The old stats page will stay up for a while...probably until the transition phase is complete.
Our team will transfer over to BOINC from the Original SETI@home. They have already done this by a transfer of the database. As Dave Anderson told me, there will more than likely be a few months slack given to activate your account at the new BOINC/SAH site. If your account is not activated after a set time it will be deleted. So, needless to say, our team definitely won't be 13,000+ members any longer. Probably more like 4,000 or less.
Any questions after you've read through the new BOINC/SAH site post them here in this thread.
