Hello everyone,
I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on whether or not crypto can solve the current problems of scientific research. With the current state of the world, it seems like there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed in the scientific community. From funding to data sharing, there are a lot of challenges that need to be addressed. I’m wondering if crypto could be the answer to these problems. Could it provide a secure and reliable way to fund research projects? Could it provide a way to securely share data? What do you think?
Thanks for your input!
The biggest problem of scientific research are the papers that are lies… in order to get funds and better CV’s the produce bullshit
“more democratic, decentralized”
stumbled across this and thought crypto could also be good for government spendings. So we actually and transparently see what the politics spend taxes on
Blockchain has the potential to HELP(Not solve it completely) some issues in scientific research.
Blockchain can help to be more transparent and have decentralized funding allocation, allowing communities(donors) to decide which research projects receive support. This reduces the probelm of traditional, biased funding sources.
The blockchain’s immutable ledger enhances transparency and prevents data manipulation, ensuring the publication of all research findings, fostering a more open and honest scientific environment.
So the important here is that can HELP, but not completely solve imo.
I will be honest, I had stumbled upon VitaDao with strong industry association and partnership with big companies much earlier. But when I dug deeper, I didn’t see any legit business case so left it as it is
Could a PoW project help by providing some computational power required for scientific research through miners?
Folding with Banano has already started helping the scientific community
Happy to share my loss porn for science
If blockchain technology can start to take on the gatekeepers of scientific knowledge then that all sounds great.
Crowd-funded scientific research was meant to help with the lack of funding, but that died quick. Hopefully these projects help keep good scientists at the bench.
Nope
With time
And more innovation
It should solve it
I think it’s the other way around. Scientific research will one day help crypto by creating a self aware password AI.
