Using BOINC / seti@home?

[Sayonara]

Just a reminder that there is a Team SFN on the BOINC network, which you can join if you are running programs such as Seti@home.

Blike set it up a while ago but I don't think it was ever advertised

Just joined your Einstein@home : ) i have 2 computers running it. my main only runs it while im sleeping or away. the other is dedicated. enjoy the credit : )

Only a begineer. Now credit exceeds 1000, still a far cry to reach the experts` level. Astropulse is a good app. You can earn more points in a short time than SETI@home original app. But both are always giving the wrong remaining time. The remaining time isn`t very accurate(it should be close to reality) but the percentage is more reliable.

I have been running Seti@home for several years now. I am also running Einstein@home. These two seem to be the only ones with graphics.

Hi everyone,

 

For the people, that want to help science move forward.

 

There is a platform for distributed computing.

 

It's called BOINC = http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

 

You can sign up there and calculate tasks when you're computer is idle and you can do this with you're;

Gpu, Cpu, mobile phone,....

 

This helps universities and other (sometimes underfunded) scientists around the world.

 

You can even get rewarded for it with Gridcoin.

 

Check it out everyone!

I installed BOINC on my openSUSE/KDE system, but it fails, and I don't know why nor who to ask for help.

A search didn't find anything on reddit gridcoin about openSUSE. I've found links on the internet about the problem, and a workaround that is supposed to work. If all else fails I'll ask on reddit gridcoin. ty

Yes, you can just sign up on reddit / gridcoin without an email adresse.

 

It's verry often the quickest way to get help.
