RE: Reducing friction for critical mass adoption of steemit
Let me be the first one to apply.
You probably know the initiative already:
https://steemit.com/steem/@pharesim/publishing-scientific-papers-on-steem
We're still in the team-building and planning phase, and although those who work on it with me so far would be willing to wait a while until they get a reward, I would prefer being able to show them some appreciation as soon as possible.
I don't have any liquid Steem to offer them, and the witness payouts take a while to reach a significant amount.
There will also be more costs coming at us soon when we start to handle the legal stuff.
The whole project will be a non-profit, and we will start raising funds from the public as soon as we can. You could be the first donator on a long list to follow ;-)
Thanks for taking the time to put your initiative forward, I'll make sure it's in the voting list.
I'm convinced that focusing to achieve critical-mass adoption for one community at a time is the right approach - it does not have to be a large community, but with a quorum of community participants, adoption will be self-sustaining.
Have you thought yet about what strategies you might employ with Scichain to remove friction to achieve that tipping point level of adoption?
We will have to ring a lot of doorbells. Mostly universities, which will be the first choice to get support and funding anyway. Our target audience is there, and we will approach key figures personally. As soon as we have convinced some of them it should be easy to get covered by relevant media outlets.
Not sure. INDUBITABLY #UNIVERSALH3068
