I tried to disable the notices popup using the technique described here, but at least the first one keeps coming back. Maybe the subsequent reminders don't?

How do I get rid of them entirely? I am using 6.12.12 (x64).

I am using 6.12.12 (x64).

Unless you're an alpha tester, you shouldn't be using 6.12 at all at this time. Or else update at each new 6.12, as it's still in active bug-fix modus. 6.12.16 is about to be released to testing any moment now.

So what is it you see exactly?
Why is it a hindrance?
Can you reproduce that behaviour in a newer / the latest alpha version?

I will go back to 6.10.58. The problem is solved.

And be aware that v6.12.16 has a significant change to that reminder dialog - the reminder interval has been re-scaled to hours, and new min/max limits set.

From what I understand of the code, the first arrival of a new notice will always trigger as alert: the dialog concerns the frequency of reminders (ie after the first) of unread notices.

I'd certainly agree with testing the newest version, rather than one which dates back to late January (and was probably changed for a reason).

The question remains "Why?". Why don't you want at least the first Notices balloon? (It's a balloon over the system tray these days, not a pop-up).

If they annoy you, then you really need to do some anger-management courses as when even one little balloon, which goes away all on its own, will annoy you, you may have other issues to deal with first. :P

If you don't want other users to know about BOINC running on the system, either don't use BOINC when the computer is in use, or don't use the GPU while the computer is in use, or run BOINC as a service, or just run BOINC without BOINC Manager.
