S@H Cheats...

Sorry if this has been posted b4...

Seti@Home Cheats news item on ZDnet .au

This is sad! I do hope that no one on our TeAm is up to this, but it has to be said, I don't think we are the sort of people that would.

After reading that it just shows no one on this team cheats, not with our top guys doing JUST 200 TO 300 wu's a day. I think all these guys doing 1-5 k a day should be looked into.


I want to add, someone should send this story to Berkeley. if they arn't looking into cheaters they won't be going out of there way to find story's like this.

lane - it was worse than that... There were people doing 10K - 15K per day. Some have finally been caught.

The article says that there are only a couple months left for SETI. Is this true? They are ending it?

It's technically not ending, the DC will move to a new generational change to a more open (multiple projects) and secure code (encapsulated key coding to prevent cheats). Hopefully it is also a step towards general public use and maybe incorporated into standard OS install. You would simply click on the project of your choosing as easily as you click on a screensaver picture.

I thought I saw a comment on the S@H 1 project ending somewhere around March 2003? My impression was that the replacement would start over. While I have 3+ years invested and a pretty high overall ranking I still think it's a good idea so start from scratch.

It's good to see them finally doing something about the cheaters.

Robor,

It should be just said that current Stats end but the examing and search of radio frequencies is not, it is also not the end of the project but a transformation and new generational upgrade.
