I often felt that Seti@home ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home)) and Bitcoin mining could of been merged together somehow.

Maybe Bitcoin could of been used to do small payouts for the POW for analyzing radio signals.

It is unfortunately no longer a supported project.

> In March 2020, the project stopped sending out new work to SETI@home users, bringing the crowdsourced computing aspect of the project to a stop.[<sup>\[9\]</sup>](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home#cite_note-9) At the time, the team intended to shift focus onto the analysis and interpretation of the 20 years' worth of accumulated data. However, the team left open the possibility of eventually resuming volunteer computing using data from other radio telescopes, such as [MeerKAT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeerKAT "MeerKAT") and [FAST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-hundred-meter_Aperture_Spherical_Telescope "Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope").[<sup>\[10\]</sup>](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SETI@home#cite_note-10)

It’s crazy to think it started with just two people and now has over a hundred scientists attached.

SETI Institute is a non-profit research organization, located in the Silicon Valley close to the NASA Ames Research Center. Our mission is to lead humanity's quest to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe and share that knowledge with the world.

SETI Institute began small, with just one project – NASA’s SETI program – and two employees, founder Tom Pierson (a former grants administrator at San Francisco State University), and astronomer Jill Tarter. Over the years, other research disciplines have been added to the Institute’s portfolio, all unified by their relevance to the search for, and understanding of, life beyond Earth. Today, the Institute has approximately 100 scientists as well as specialists in administration, education, and outreach.
