This is a new project related to radio astronomy. It is currently in beta, crunching old data to prove their algorithms are valid. Teams are called "Alliances". One is called "The Knights Who Say Ni!", currently in 55th place, but I don't recognize anyone there so I didn't join it. Our team experts should check that out. I think you have to create an account to see that info.

I can't quite figger out how this thing runs - looks like you can shrub it right in the browser or download an installer below. Appears to be non-boinc, I haven't gotten that far with it yet...

The admin has a good conversation with DC Vault:

Despite everything they say, the obvious goal of this project is to compile enough global information to become self-aware and destroy humanity.

Also according to their FAQ they don't have a gui yet. you either run it through the browser or download the app which runs it in the background. you can see ur credits in ur dashboard. since my last post i have gained 4 credits, so come join me and we can move out of spot #450

EDIT: They are looking to add a BOINC client as quickly as they can

I knew this day would come. One of us will have to travel in time to warn people about Google.

I've only been borging for Skynet for a few hours and already earned three trophies!

"The Noob" for 1 credit


"The Armstrong" for 12 credits (12 men went to the moon)


And "Elemental" for 21 credits


At this rate I'm gonna have a bookshelf full of 'em by the weekend! Razz

KWSN has already rocketed from 450 to 389th place!

Should we taunt the fake KWSN team, and call them all phonies, for trying to take our name? #ni-1 Well at least they didn't spell it correctly, so not quite the same as what someone did on SETI....

Yes, taunting the other Knights team from 320 places behind - how delightfully LooNIe!

I MIGHT, and at the moment it isn't exactly a given, but there's a possibility of replacing this laptop with a new one. If it works out as I'm hoping, this core 2 duo, will get replaced with an i7, which should also go from stupid Intel graphics at present, to a gt650m gfx card. That would make a nice bump in processing power #ni-1

Hmm, well naturally I should wait to see if I can get the financing I'd need for a more immediate purchase, before taunting. Sort of on summer break with one of my jobs, though not the other....

Yeah, but what exactly would we tell them, that Google wants to end the human race, whereas Microsoft only wants to assimilate us all? #ni-1

So, I'm in, I'm shrubbing 'cos I don't like these pretenders.

However, I have a feeling of unease. Are we sure this is legitimate. It seems to have been built by McDonalds.
