I havent done this for quite some time. Trying to get back into it. I've downloaded and installed Bionic but when trying to add a project I'm not seeing SETI@Home as a project name. Is it under a different name? Not sure where to go from here. |

Still possible to add it by putting in https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ . Not accepting new users so you can only add it if you have an account. |

Not sure where to go from here.Seti@Home has been gone since 31 March 2020, when it went into what they called a "hibernation". It's unlikely that SETI@home will ever come back again.

Yeah, but why add a project that haven't had any work for years, and are unlikely to ever come back? :-)One could also ask, "Why keep the infrastructure running when there is no intention to revive the project?" |

In reply to Dave's message of 30 Mar 2026: Probably only for the forum, and the forum connection to BOINC, and the DB. Otherwise I think all old posts could not be searched or read, and the credits and other stats, users have could not be seen.Yeah, but why add a project that haven't had any work for years, and are unlikely to ever come back? :-)One could also ask, "Why keep the infrastructure running when there is no intention to revive the project?" |
