sonnenhexer Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Hi, is there a SETI@home-group formed from AA-members? If not, what about founding one? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Great idea! I could donate a few hundred units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSmirk Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 That would be cool, but the SETI distributed project has ALOT of cheats involved.....so it kinda spoils it I've been involved with the RC5 encryption crack projects.....currently in the rc5-72 project......read more about it here http://n0cgi.distributed.net/faq/cache/270.html This one started just recently, as compared to SETI which has been going a for a long time. So you can help try to break a 72bit encryption code via distributed computing. Just another possibility, but wither one would be cool and I'd join in for an AtariAge team!

Just another possibility, but wither one would be cool and I'd join in for an AtariAge team! Hm, I can't see what that might be useful for. Are they searching for a lost key or is this just a competition? We all know that a correct key must exist and probably somebody knows it already. But Seti is different. Though I know the chances are extremly minimal. the is a chance to discover something new (and very important). And I'm not doing it for any record, just for fun! There are other projects used for maybe more useful research e.g. folding of molecular structures, new higher PI numbers etc. if you prefer those. I'm not going to support those, because I don't know much they are based on commercial or dubious military interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmirk Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 If you read the FAQ that I linked to.....thats why they are doing it... http://n0cgi.distributed.net/faq/cache/29.html To show that various encryption (government) is not entirely effective. I'll agree that SETI shows more potential for discovering something and thats why I said I'd certainly be up for helping! I'm a programmer, and encryption is one of the small areas that interest me, so thats probably why I like the rc5 stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
