Thanks for the kind words.

Point (2) is among the primary benefits of using blockchain, besides the fact that printing scientific content on money gives free archiving. With block confirmation taking seconds one some decentralized blockchains and graphs, that's the fastest and most secure way to produce time stamping.

For mathematicians, physicists, and quants there was always arXiv, but even that takes a day or so to post. Frequently revising arXiv papers is discouraged, however. It's intended for final or almost final preprints.

Being able to timestamp early thoughts and revise ideas in a space where ideas and priority are the bread and butter for most participants will lead to earlier and wider sharing of ideas. Each person then builds on the work of others more rapidly and shares the results of that sooner. The positive feedback of growth of knowledge is accelerated.

For example, I just revised this comment a minute I first posted it.

Mancur Olson (Power and prosperity, New York: Basic Books, 2000) pointed out that any institutional arrangements that contribute to trust therefore make more easy and viable long horizon activities like science, which is the most durable of all activities. The most durable things are those which accumulate. (For better or for worse — trash is also durable in this sense.) So these things most of all are the glue of time binding and therefore are the primary causes of: (a) decline like in the case of trash or special interest groups (Mancur OLSON, The logic of collective action, Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1965) and (b) growth (David LANDES, The unbound prometheus, Cambridge: University Press, 1969).

All while most persons falsely imagine oil plant and pipelines are the durables of our civilization, while such things are actually built redundantly and work surfaces replaced or rotated every year or other year, depending on the material. In fact it's science that's primarily the cause of growth (Frederick SEITZ, Foreword, Purposive systems, New York: Spartan, 1968).
