Will this version run on Windows XP without any issues?

Where can I grab this without wasting my life searching for it?

Alright, give me one good reason why... It’s not like he’s giving me any grief. He's basically an open book... nothing to hide.

What even is this CMD thing? I'm lost...
Besides, SETI just launches itself whenever I boot up my PC and shuts down when I turn it off...

And honestly, nobody’s even thrown out an alternative to SETI yet... 🙄

slycrane94 said:Appreciate it. Honestly, my kids are more likely to get wrecked by runaway capitalism than by radiation.

No matter how you slice it, they're getting the short end of the stick... 😉

Ethan Williams5 said:...Maybe they're just helping some secret agency crack codes 😁 You never know. I'd much rather help develop new medicines...

You sure that helping with drug research isn't actually helping some shadow group break encryption ? 🙄

slycrane94 said:Man, just set up the CMD version as a service instead of wasting CPU cycles on some dumb graphics. Talk about being useless. 😁

I don't even know what you're flexing about here.😉
I've got SETI running in the background constantly, no matter what I'm doing...

Overall: 43.286% done
CPU time: 5 h 15 min 17 sec
And still nothing from the little green guys... 😢
👋Little Green Men! Hit me up!!! I need my fame!👋

If it turns out those guys are actually evil aliens planning to take over the US, I highly doubt anyone wants their name on that list... 🙄 😛 😁

Setting

slycrane94 said:Basically, they're scanning signals to see if anything looks like it actually came from outer space.

Sure, if you actually believe in aliens. 😛 Basically, they beam the data collected by their antenna over to your computer, and then you just sit there running analyses hoping to spot some kind of pattern in the signal.

Eric Jackson43 says it, and Nicole Morgan55 is totally on board:
SETI might actually end up being patented one day. If your rig actually picks up some signal from deep space, you really think they’re gonna broadcast that to the public? Nah. They’ll probably just grab that data, lock it behind a vault, and keep it far away from our eyes. You won't even know if you actually found something. You'll be left totally in the dark.

👍

The Dilemma:
1. Stop using sketchy software that’s just lining someone else's pockets.
2. Stop using software to hunt for alien intelligence (since I don't buy into that nonsense anyway).
Or maybe I should just go back to the Matrix screensaver? 😁

Anyway, hey slycrane94, how many data packets have you actually crunched so far? And what's your turnaround time per packet?

The only thing I can actually save here is my wallet... 😉

Alright, I finally set up that famous SETI software (at least until I find something actually useful to do with my time 😉)
1% in 6 minutes!!! Not bad for a guy like Durončić... 😉

slycrane94 said:It honestly bugs me when some massive corporation gets even richer just by profiting off my grind.

I feel you, but look... if it means someone actually gets help (or we find a cure for cancer), who cares?

So what’s the payoff for helping out at SETI? A tiny little alien? 😉 😁

Saw a thread where slycrane94 was bragging(😉) about running SETI on their rig, which got me thinking—why shouldn't I put my beast of a PC to some actual good for once...
Since I don't buy into aliens (or Santa Claus), is there anything out there similar to SETI? Maybe some drug research or other science projects where I can donate my processing power?

A buddy and I are thinking about catching it this Monday. It seems like half of you guys are trashing it while the other half is treating it like the second coming.
Now I’m on the fence. 😢 I’ll just take the Joker’s word for it and see what the crowd thinks. 😉

this 1024x768 screenshot (on a 21'' monitor) is only 178 kb

That resolution on a 21-inch screen?!?!? Are you blind or something? 🙄
You seriously need to upgrade to a 1280x1024.
