- “China has been very interested in the question ‘are we alone?’ For a long time,” says Dan Werthimer of the University of CA, Berkeley. “But until recently there have been few people working on SETI in China.” FAST, now the world’s most powerful radio telescope, could make China the leader in SETI. https://www.supercluster.com/editorial/chinas-massive-telescope-is-the-next-great-seti-hope 49 comments space
- Astronomers are developing new projects to broaden the search for alien life. Thanks to new technologies, more data, and better search methods, the odds of finding alien signals this decade is 1,000 times what they were last decade, says Andrew Siemion, director of the Berkeley SETI Research Center. https://astronomy.com/news/2020/03/new-projects-broaden-the-search-for-alien-signals-from-space 2 comments aliens

- Preventing double-spends is an "embarrassingly parallel" massive search problem - like Google, SETI@Home, Folding@Home, or PrimeGrid. BUIP024 "address sharding" is similar to Google's MapReduce & Berkeley's BOINC grid computing - "divide-and-conquer" providing unlimited on-chain scaling for Bitcoin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarrassingly_parallel 60 comments btc
