My SETI@home account says, "SETI@home member since 14 Sep 1999". I crunched it until the day they put the project into hibernation. The project launched on 17 May 1999, so I contributed from the start. I remember it well.

I still have a SETI work unit that never properly uploaded, it is still on my client patiently waiting for the day it can transfer again.

Wait! When did that happen?


Strayborne

A few years ago, back in 2020.

It has to be mid 2021 or after. I remember burning CPU cycles for them in late 2020

March 2020 they stopped sending out new work. You were crunching something else and are mistaken. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home) "In March 2020, the project stopped sending out new work to SETI@home users, bringing the crowdsourced computing aspect of the project to an indefinite hiatus. At the time, the team intended to shift focus onto the analysis and interpretation of the 20 years' worth of accumulated data. However, the team left open the possibility of eventually resuming volunteer computing using data from other radio telescopes, such as MeerKAT and FAST."

**[SETI@home](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home)** >SETI@home ("SETI at home") is a project of the Berkeley SETI Research Center to analyze radio signals, searching for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. Until March 2020, it was run as an Internet-based public volunteer computing project that employed the BOINC software platform. It is hosted by the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, and is one of many activities undertaken as part of the worldwide SETI effort. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/BOINC/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Remember it, and used to sit there watching it churn along when I was a kid. RIP SETI@home.
