Re: How to switch from SETI Classic to SETI BOINC
Now I first have to get rid of all the old classic WUs. Some of my machines have over a half-year worth of WUs stashed locally.
Can I convert piecemeal? That is, as my faster machines go through their remaining WUs, shut down Classic SETI on them and then install BOINC?

I didn't see an answer to this so I'll take it. There is no date set for the end of seti I yet so you can move a piece at a time. The BOINC version runs at a slightly lower priority so when your computers start to get low you can put BOINC on them and have no interruption in processing.
When setting up multiple computers the easiest way is to copy the account....xml file from a working computer to the new one. That way you don't have to worry about typos.
BTW you know that seti I has a one month deadline, right? Your tally goes up after that but the work has no value. |
