GM #nostr, thanks for being a source of light in an ever dimming fiat hellscape - onward!

Decentralizing Academic research is something that's been stuck in my head ever since I left a research lab I was working in a couple years ago. Like, everything about it is fucked: From the graduate student perspective: - You work crazy hours, for little pay, and no respect - If you have a crazy good idea, your advisor gets the credit and the the University takes the IP - little to no job prospects after graduating, normally is debt From the faculty perspective: - Has to give the University a large cut of grant $$ and first dibs on IP - Has to spend time teaching, managing, finding $$ instead of conducting research Overlaying all this BS are the perverse incentives of government funded research which: - incentivizes back-stabbing, credit-grabbing - disincentivizes collaboration, counter-cultural theories I think there's a P2P way to fund research, leveraging #Nostr and #Bitcoin. Imagine the flow: - Researcher submits proposal, including deliverables, timeline, funding needs - Enthusiasts crowd-source via zaps, npubs who support are linked to any deliverables from the research, increasing reputation - Research results are disseminated to a P2P peer review process, where researchers can offer btc for quality reviews (judged by impartial(ish) LLM judges, or current experts) in a double-blind contract - Once peer-reviewed, peers who reviewed the results are also cryptographically linked to the paper, with their compensation visible, directly linking the reviewers credibility to the quality of their review/the research results IDK or something like that. Cheers, plebs.

GN #nostr Merry Christmas, happy birthday to our Lord and Savior

#asknostr First, GM. Second, any plebs with real estate licenses on here? Thinking about an open MLS over nostr but unsure if MLS access is: 1. Expensive, if not I think it would reduce the positive incentive for an open MLS (except for public, non-licensed access) 2. A walled garden. Something agents would not like the public to have access to. Curious your thoughts plebs!
