My dear friends,

For over 10 years, I have taken care of the Universe@Home project.

Unfortunately, since the passing of Prof. Krzysztof Belczynski, we have not been able to find a way to continue the project. Therefore, as funding ended at the end of August this year, I am no longer formally associated with the project. Still hoping that a scientific team will be found to carry it forward, I have continued to handle the ongoing maintenance of the server, and I intend to keep doing so in my free time until either a successor to Krzysztof is found or CAMK decides to shut down the servers.

I truly regret that such a long history of our shared work is coming to an end. Unfortunately, I lack the scientific expertise needed to continue the research myself.

I would like to thank all of you for years of support and express my hope that we may someday meet again on another project that I could manage from the BOINC side.

Thank you for your hard work

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in such a project for many years.
For me, it was the longest crunching project with WCG.

長い間お疲れさまでした。

Thank you for your long-lasting effort! For me this is one of the first projects I joined when I first knew BOINC. I'm still willing to participate if there are new WUs.

Best wishes to the project and hope you can find new successors as we already have so much works done.

Składam kondolencje i ubolewam, że taki projekt został zamknięty. Co oprócz wiedzy naukowej jest potrzebne, aby go utrzymać?

Thanks for the update Kris. Happy to hear what the final resolution is. It was a good run and am happy I was able to participate for such a long time.

Universe@home will be missed.

Best wishes to you in your future endeavors.

Cheers.

Thank you very much for all the effort you put into this project Krzysztof!
Hopefully, you will be back some day, involved with another project that I can contribute some CPU cycles to.

Until the next time... I wish you a happy and meaningful life in all ways possible!

Thanks =)

And we would like to thank you for keeping this project going for all these years as well as being a very good administrator of the project, yes once Prof. Krzysztof Belczynski passed he left very big shoes to fill, he is sadly missed.
Will miss this project, one of my favorites.

All the best with the future.

Sad news indeed. Thank you for the update and years of maintaining one of the best servers in BOINC.

Like so many others I offer my thanks for your efforts across the years. Universe was a true science project and was very well run.

I would have thought that the University would have gotten behind the effort to find a new scientist and continue the work as it was a good fit with their basic science effort.

Best of luck in your future life and efforts

Hey Krzysztof,

have you considered asking the people from Einstein@Home? They're not doing exactly the same science, but are familiar with BOINC, have some ressources and maybe sufficient connections to the astro physics world.

Wish you all the best!
