Zetagrid

[Ragnarog]

It loks like Zetagrid is a closed project even tho the website is still partially online.

Can anyone confirm or deny this please?

Yup Maybe time to blow it out of the water

I dropped it from the SSS a while ago as it seemed to be finished, but it may still be active. Let's see on the respose to this thread, if noone gives a positive response then I will remove it from the project list :)

I posted at FreeDC ages ago but no body has answered yet

[N.V.M.]

i just poked around the website, and the few links that were working i saw dates of mid/late 2004,such as the news link and top producers.

It wasn't that long ago I pumped out a few units

[NeoGen]

It's been working on and off lately. Mainly it's the stats that break down from time to time.
They have already finished their initial objectives a long time ago, but have extended it a bit more and keep it running.
It's in the same situation as Ubero I guess... not really doing active work, but not wanting to stop either.

Forget that last part. I just received an email from Sebastian (project manager?) saying that the project will be shutdown as well as the domain name released. :(

Bugga I knew I shouldn't have stopped I could have been number 1 for TN....BUGGA

I got a mail from Zetagrid today:

Dear ZetaGrid Community member:

This will be my last message to this community. Please accept my sincere
thanks for your contribution to this community. During the last 4 years
I have received numerous significant contributions and we have achieved a
major milestone in the Computational Number Theory and the Riemann Hypothesis
as a leading edge research community. All details will be published soon at
the journal Mathematics of Computation:
http://www.ams.org/journals/mcom/

Now I will close this community with 6,617 members and shutdown the servers
as well as the domain zetagrid.net. That was a very hard decision for me since
originally I planned to ship the new release 2.0 with many enhancements and
the computation of the Extended Riemann Hypothesis. But especially in this
year the availability of the zetagrid services were very poor. That was really
frustrating for many contributors and I received lots of feedback. But in
nearly all cases my hands were tied since the availability depends on the
hosting provider of zetagrid.net. They have done too many mistakes during many
infrastructure migration activities. I got in lots of discussions and in
trouble with them. Please accept my decision and that I cannot response to all
questions and messages. But I always try to response as much as possible.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

So it's ok to take it from the list...
