Card carrying scientist willing to provide input but from what I heard on his interview TFTC, blockchain and reviewer payments were posed as solutions to fix the boys club of publishers and improve fairness of reviews and this would do neither imo.
I am for public data sets that are archived and uncensorable, but these are gigantic file sizes in many cases, and annotation of things like images is a nightmare or requires proprietary software in many cases. And then there is search and version history 😮💨
Scihub, arxiv, PLOS/PeerJ are doing a pretty good job at fighting some problems in science but the problem blockchain solves needs to be honed substantially. Censorship is a different problem from review is a different problem from public communication.
