Unlikely, with a Beijing domain name. Atlas is a well-used name - Einstein have one in Hannover, too. |

Unlikely, with a Beijing domain name. Taking a quick look at the user profiles, I'm guessing this may be an official Beijing government vector. A brand new project and profiles say they have been lurking for a while? Others where one sentence is good English and the next bad broken Google translate English? Wondering if the application is a botnet control. |

Looking at the people already signed on, aside from the influx of spammers that every BOINC project seems to be dealing with these days, I see one name which shows this is a genuine project: User 34. This may be the result of the 2011 BOINC sales pitch. |

Answer from David: It's a project that will be used by CERN (the ATLAS project, i.e. one of the Higg Boson finders). It's being developed by someone from IHEP in China. |

Has anyone had better luck with this project than me? 24hr deadline, each WU requires almost 2Gigs of virtual memory, efficiency at around 75-80% (concurrent WUs from other projects do a lot better: 90-100%), and the kicker is the credits at 30-50% of what I get from SETI. Not having a message board isn't doing it any favors either. |

Looking at the people already signed on, aside from the influx of spammers that every BOINC project seems to be dealing with these days, I see one name which shows this is a genuine project: User 34. Was thinking about that in general. Other than not knowing the e-mail address of someone, there is nothing preventing a bad actor from signing up a user to other projects. All bad actor need do is say he is at good person e-mail and assign a new password and bingo the CPID of good respected user is assigned. The good respected user can't do anything about it either as he doesn't have the password! Security, it is such a PITA to get right. |

Following from David's advice to Ageless, earlier, the following email was issued to participants today from the project administrator: Thanks for your valuable support to the ATLAS@home project. The ATLAS@home project officially moves its server from IHEP to CERN, thus the current server( http://gilda117.ihep.ac.cn ) is fully replaced by a new server at CERN ( http://atlasathome.cern.ch ). If you would like to continue to support ATLAS@home, please connect to the new URL http://atlasathome.cern.ch ! Again your contribution to the project is highly appreciated! ATLAS@home Project |

Apparently the new server starts everything from scratch, or is there a plan to transfer the previous credits over? |
