How about creating SciPubCoin, a blockchain where you get one coin from each published paper you submit!

Probably better to create a system that includes a reputation currency, since you can't 'spend' your reputation: https://medium.com/metacurrency-project/reputation-is-orthog...
First the interface problem needs to be solved, after that we get a good picture of adoption.
That there are gigantic torrents available is almost useless. A popcorn time type of GUI client is needed that allows search, can dl the right chunks reasonably fast, seeds the rare chunks, has tit for tad implemented for a group of torrents. Could even do full text search by downloading all possible candidates after applying some bloomfilter.
An interesting question I think, is what value add does Sci-Hub provide, because obviously it wasn’t happening before Alexandra made it happen, does it outgrow her or is she holding it together?
