SETI@Home onthult toekomstplannen

Hier wat meer info over BOINC: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/setifuture.html#boinc

Misschien iets voor Microsoft en consorte om er een .Net/Mono applicatie van te bouwen ?
Kan je gelijk testen of die raamwerk wel feasible is..

Web-page scripts?! Als in dat je als je naar een site gaat, automagisch processorkracht doneert?

Als SETI@Home wordt opgesplitst in 2 brokken, gaat dat dan niet minder processorkracht opleveren, althans, stuk per stuk gezien? Het deel dat de inkomende signalen controleert van de schotel wordt toch gereduceerd de helft? en hoe kan je dan nog hetzelfde rendement halen?

BOINC is wel goed voor andere organisaties, maar bekom je zo geen verzadiging van de markt?

Ik hoop wel dat je zelf mag kiezen aan welke projecten je je processorkracht geeft anders houdt het snel op. Ik bedoel dus dat ze niet zomaar wat rekenwerk moeten opsturen.

<offtopic>'k heb al 6314 pakketjes in 86251 uur</offtopic>

Op het forum staat dit onderwerp ook en is te lezen via: Seti@home stopt er volgend jaar mee & nieuwe info

Hierin staan ook wat andere reakties van mensen die misschien wel nuttig zijn om ook even door te lezen.

Zeker ook de reaktie over de proxy's/queue's want het is wel te hopen dat er weer iets is voor subteams (memberstats bv).

Nuttig?
Wel als je mee wil helpen aan het hacken van wat keys
Maar ja da's geen UD maar allicht al beter dan koetjes
Moet je natuurlijk wel een schotel hebben wil je er uiteindelijk wat aan hebben.

Despite what you might and will no doubt continue to see from dodgy sites and
dealers every week, Viaccess2 is not hacked. It is not near to be hacked - in
fact, cards cannot even be opened. Old backdoors are useless. Work, of course,
has and will continue to try to find a solution . . . but you should know now
that it could be years before one comes. We all know encryption systems for
which this is true. So what is to be done?
Many of you will have followed efforts started at Vkeys to test the water for a
brute-force attempt. What this will involve is searching for a SINGLE key in a
keyspace 2^64 big . . . in short, it is something which has never been
attempted before in the satellite community. As such, all who join the effort
will be part of history the second they do so.
We have been greatly encouraged by the initial response from users of many
forums across the net, but those who have pledged themselves openly to be a
part will not be enough. Without the great silent majority who sometimes may
never even have made a post on a satellite or computing board, this attempt
will be dead before it starts. That is what providers are counting on . . .
that there is no such thing as a "satellite hobbyist community". We believe
different!
This invite goes out to that community through all boards and borders across
Europe. We have designed an effort which will allow complete satellite and
computer newbies to be just as important as seasoned hackers. You do not need a
permanent Internet connection, specialist equipment/knowledge or even a
satellite receiver! In fact, to be part of the effort could take as little as 5
to 10 minutes of your time every two to three weeks.
All are welcome to go to the following URL and register:
http://ucs2000.tsb.cx/newmember.asp. Here you will find detailed instructions
about what to do next.
In short, after obtaining an ID here, you will be able to download keyfinder
software specially written for this effort. Once you instal the software on
your PC/PCs, you will be given an area/areas of keyspace to search for each PC
you have every time you visit. You could order, say, ten areas at a time for
each PC and not have to return again for 2 or 3 weeks.
Each time you return previous area/areas you searched will be checked by the
server. You drop off an area/s, you pick up an area/s. This is all done pretty
much automatically. Once your area is loaded in your PC, you can let keyfinder
run in the background and forget about it until you need to return to pick up a
new area/s. You do NOT have to be online any other time than when you pick
up/drop off your areas. But you should allow your PC and keyfinder to run 24/7
offline or online. This is VERY important. And when you are not using your PC
for anything else - ie, when you are at work or overnight, keyfinder will
naturally run fastest.
To webmasters, network admins and other people with very large numbers of PCs,
special work is being completed on a server to make your lives a helluva lot
easier. We will need you in this effort.
To any existing search crews, if you would like to join this effort we welcome
you en masse. But should you prefer not, we are very happy to establish
friendly links. It makes no sense for us to search the same areas of keyspace.
Please feel free to get in touch.
Finally, we are not about to kid anybody that this effort will be easy. It will
not. Even with tens of thousands of PCs, without luck, it can take a very long
time. But when was making history ever easy? The choice is to sit and wait,
perhaps for years, without Viaccess . . . or to do something! Maybe we are
wrong, but we think we know which option numbers providers never saw even in
their worst nightmares will take. Nobody can say any more there is nothing they
can do. Seasoned hackers to total newbies . . . by BF, they are all the same.
Let's roll.
