Im definetly gonna check the website.
Yes. BTC defenitely needs more of that also to gain positive headlines !
...
Great thread OP!
That sci-hub . io site does look to be interesting, and worthy of BTC donation.
Now if I can just try to remember some of the names/subjects of some scientific papers I wanted to look at that were buried away. It'll come to me, and then I'll drop by.
I too look forward to other suggestions from members.

Yes from what I understand sci-hub does use the libgen database and if a paper isn't on that, they use 'donated' subscriptions to get it from the publisher then add it to libgen, thereby expanding the free scientific library.
I'm kinda looking for more organizations like that.
Sci-hub - Sci-hub . io - Breaking borders (and paywalls) in scientific research, dubbed the "PirateBay of Scientific Journals." Basically a huge library for everyone to get around paywalls for scientific articles.
Anymore, guys?
This is really a double edged sword to me... On one hand, I think scientific research finding should be freely available to everyone; on the other hand, if the publishers make it "free for everyone", there will be no earning for them and there is no "incentives" for them to engage the best reviewers and may eventually lead to a drop in quality. Scientific publications are already plagued by publications generated from non-reproducible false/fake data...
new 'unconventional' organizations that truly helps the world but cannot get funding through traditional means.
yes because bitcoin is anonymous and decentralized it will be lot more easier for those unconventional organization to get funding in the form of bitcoin. I haven't heard about sci-fi before. Thanks for that

We all know WikiLeaks, and how bitcoin has pushed through with keeping the whistle-blowing site around. In line with that, I'd just wanna aggregate and discover new 'unconventional' organizations that truly helps the world but cannot get funding through traditional means. And hopefully get them here for everyone to donate to every now and then with their coins.
