I think it would be helpful if the authors disclosed whether they invested in Filecoin. I didn't really see it anywhere. Did I miss it?

Author here: we did not invest; nor are we invested in any of the competitor projects mentioned in the article.

other author here, no ICO investments. We're actually working for many years on a similar system, non-profit non-ICO based. We know this scientific area a bit (see my other comment).

>>We're actually working for many years on a similar system... Hmm, this is what you neglected to mention in the paper

Thanks for your clarifications. That was my guess too, I just wanted to confirm it.
