I think there must be at least a few big funds to partner with the platform in the beginning.

To "store article on the blockchain", as written in the ANN, is a quite challenging task - since articles occupy a real lot of space? How big would the blockchain be after one year?

To minimize the space used the articles will be hashed and only the hash will be stored on the blockchain

So there will be no limitation for the number of articles?]

Wait, only institutions will be able to fund science?
No, everyone who wants to. Institutions and universities will be encouraged to stake coins in order to sustain the network

That's a relieve! So any amount will do?DO you have a min limit?

For a new project you have a very strong concept. I can't see why Scienseroot wouldn't succeed!

the effort to put something like this on going is pretty cool but i;m not sure of it's potential  Undecided
Of course it has potential. The system is so corrupt and the big publishers make the most of the research. They end up selling articles for 50$/piece, while the authors, nor the reviewers get anything in return. Have a read through the whitepaper so you get a better grip on the unparalleled potential this project has.

$50 fees for an article?? Gosh, that's a business  Cheesy

This will be like the second crypto project I've ever seen in this niche if scientific research, the first does not even have plans to go into crowdsale. But I have a question, how do you intend to vet the researchers requesting for funds to sponsor their research and how do you intend to monitor the funds to ensure its judicious use?

That's a good question! Got to see the admin's responce

the future for your company is huge - such projects are very necessary for the world, any expert who understands a certain area and who has an idea can help you with interest and money for implementation, this is very cool

Combining the investors and the scientists on one platform is very promissing in deed.
How about adding a system for reports after completing a grant? To ensure there won't be any scam-scientists robbing the investors.
I bet they do have something in mind for that. There's no way grants will be awarded without a proper revision by some specialists in the field.

That's good. The future heavily depends on researches we do today. So it's better to spend the resources on projects that have a potential benefit.

The investors will fund the researches using the tokens? Or the tokens will be used to pay for connection?

Contribution to Research ideas can be done with tokens.

what other ST utilities there will be?

-storing scientific content on the blockchain (Scientific Repositories) - Already Live in our Prototype
-exchange of scientific services (Scientific Marketplace)
-bounties on questions and tipping (Q&A Forum)
-contribution to research projects (Funding Platform)
-publishing platform
-staking by 3rd party companies wanting to implement blockchain into their existing businesses

How can the common users evaluate the scientific projects before funding a grant?

The evaluation will be done by professional, users will receive a review of a project in order to decide if they want to participate.

The 60% bonus is very generous! Usually that much can be only on the private sale stages.

Why do you need to reward the reviewers? And how can you guarantee a fair work from them?
How can you guarantee it now? There are always minimum 2 people reviewing a work and they don't know each other, nor the author. So it's highly improbable that all of them will be unfair

True. it;s about trust as well, even if you make it highly unrealistic to hack...
