Could not log in to Radioactive@home but Google AI said The BOINC project Radioactive@home has shut down. It appears to have been permanently discontinued following the passing of its lead scientist, Prof. Krzysztof Belczynski. While a server maintenance person continued to handle the servers in their free time, funding has ended, and a successor for the scientific research could not be found. The project is considered finished. Funding for the project ended at the end of August. A new scientific team has not been found to continue the research. The server maintenance person is keeping the servers running until a successor is found or the servers are officially shut down. Is google confusing Universe with Radioactive.

In reply to Petrctale's message of 15 Nov 2025: Could not log in to Radioactive@home but Google AI said Yes. But the same person managed the servers at both Universe and at Radioactive. He isn't active at either project now that the money ran out and the lead scientist passed. Effectively, both projects are finished, though there never has been any official notice posted at Radioactive or elsewhere of that fact compared to the announcment of Universe shutting down. |

The server ran out of disc space a few days ago. It appears that db_purge wasn't running for some reason. The site bounced a couple of times before going offline continuously. I did post over at the Universe thread (https://universeathome.pl/universe/forum_thread.php?id=730) but I don't know if it's being monitored. Give it a couple of weeks, it usually takes that long to be resurrected :) |
