Shout out to all you SETI crunchers. Hope they get their server back online soon. Curious about your thoughts on Rosetta as compared to SETI. What got you crunching in the first place? What factors (besides actively sending out work) determine the project that you crunch for? Were you crunching Rosetta before the server outage? Or did you just sign up? Add this signature to your EMail: Running Microsoft's "System Idle Process" will never help cure cancer, AIDS nor Alzheimer's. But running Rosetta@home just might! https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/ |

Shout out to all you SETI crunchers. Hope they get their server back online soon. I just signed up when Seti started having outages (and no diss on the Seti folks, they have been running on a shoestring FOREVER, and it finally snapped), 'cuz I didn't want my kitties to get bored with nothing crunching. I guess it's the project I chose because who? (grand Intel Poobah and Core 2 dude) was crunching here, so it's the first project that came to mind. |

Now that is an easy one to answer and can be summed up in two words for me, cure disease! I had various family members that have been afflicted with the various diseases mentioned here and if donating my PC's cpu time can help then so be it. Nuff said. Also as I have said I have decided to crunch exclusively for Rosetta now. SETI and I do not mix well these days. Well good luck and godspeed, Antony |

Yes. Been crunching for rosie since I signed on to BOINC,when classic SETI closed up shop. If you can't take a joke you should never have joined. |

I've crunched for Seti@Home since -99. When I started using the Boinc client I thought I should also join a project similar to Folding@Home, and decided on Rosetta@Home... Btw, since the PS 3 client of Folding@Home was released I've also been crunching for Folding@Home with it. |

I began crunching for Seti@home when I felt a bit philanthropic one day. Then it occured to me that the chances of finding something were so remote (the apparant lack of results so far is evidence for this) that my semi-conductors needed a more worthwhile project to contribute to. I found Rosetta and my problem was solved. The only problem at the time was the large size of the workunits at the time (between 5 & 20MB compared to about 2MB worth for Seti) and I was on dial up internet :O But now I have broadband and that's not a problem. |

Hi, Me and my team BT Retired Club Crunched over a million for SETI over 6 1/2 years, and we felt that it was time to move on and help other deserving projects. At the moment we are mainly crunching for Einstein but they seem very cliquey over there, and their current S5R2 run is a nonsense. Yep, we will start to migrate to Rosetta over the next few weeks..... Best Wishes Chris |

Hi, the more the merrier...bring your whole group over RAH could use your systems old or new. The work will never run out here. (well providing there are no computer hiccups) |

I'm still crunchin', yeah - yeah - yeah; I'm still crunchin'... (Sung to "I'm still standin'...) Seriously; yes, I have permanently added Rosetta to my main Cruncher, Excalibur. She is an AMD Athlon XP 1.6GHz system on Win XP Pro SP-2 with 512MB RAM. (480MB available; 32MB reserved for on-board Video Card.) Also, I am still waiting, (as are others), for SETI and Beta/Astropulse to return to "normal". Latest information reports that now we are waiting for Server Bruno to stop complaining and smooth out... < sigh > I'll stick to building them... ;-D I'm just a simple IT Hardware person; no programming, that just gives me headaches... ;-D TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel...

Crunching Seti for a long time. With the recent problems at Seti, I needed another project to crunch and Rosetta always sounded like a good one. For some reason today though, I'm getting the no work from project message. Any clues? |

crazy bob - post your question over here and they will answer it. Are you done with SETI and have no more WU's from them? I was reading someplace in here that SETI can eat up alot of cpu time and make Rosie wait in line as it were. But keep an eye at the above message board for an answer. Crunching Seti for a long time. With the recent problems at Seti, I needed another project to crunch and Rosetta always sounded like a good one. For some reason today though, I'm getting the no work from project message. Any clues? |

Shout out to all you SETI crunchers. Hope they get their server back online soon. I started crunching Rosetta last year...It's a great project and very worthy to crunch for...I really like what the Rosetta Project could mean for mankind if it lives up to it's mission... I started crunching SETI Classic in 2004...Then switched over to SETI/BOINC in June of '04...Through BOINC i finally made my way over here to crunch Rosetta...I'm glad i did. |

Have been Crunching Rosetta regular for about as long as SETI. Moving machines back and forth from time to time. I like the science here. Come Join us at Hawaiian Beach Bums |
