Send FTC to Scholarpedia
-
OK, so the modification after your suggestion will be like this:
- I will keep this thread, and put back the original bounty address, belonging to me.
- I won’t remove the positions, because I want to see 20 supporters with 20 bucks over here before I go to extensively talk to Izhikievich.
- I will encourage the contributors to donate more than 500, but I will ask them to postpone those over-the-top donations to such time, when Scholarpedia actually posts Feathercoin donation wallet ont their website.
- I will immediately attempt to make a preliminary contact with Izhikievich.
I am personally interested in modeling dynamical systems, which are well covered in Scholarpedia (that’s why I know it), but I have not actually edited Scholarpedia, and I won’t raise my head if I don’t have enough support from the people over here. If I can get 10k FTC from 20 users, I’ll ask Izhikievich for mutual exclusive support (Scholarpedia promotes us rather than Bitcoin, we promote them over Wikipedia) and I will formulate the proposal for him, including the possibility of using Feathercoins as a reward for the edits. Otherwise, I’ll take it as a sign that the community over here is not able or willing to support me in this mission and:
- I’ll try to forward the mission control to Bush (I’ll ask him to contact Izhikievich himself).
If the mission fails for any reason, donations will be returned back to the donors.
As for the possibility of NeoScrypt article, this effort is orthogonal to the issue of mutual support. I don’t know if you fully appreciate the fact that Scholarpedia has class of a high-level scientific journal, such as Nature, and getting an article there is equal to publishing a review article in such a journal. Only if NeoScrypt has the qualities to be published in a top rank CS journal, can it go to Scholarpedia. Who is the inventor of NeoScrypt? It would be a standard practice for Scholarpedia to make him a curator of the article. For example, Petri net article is written by the fabled Carl Adam Petri himself.

I like the fake rocket idea, it adds fun to an otherwise dull donation game. It might be an idea in the future to have a system built like bitcoinchipin so there are visual references to the target, people like them :)
-
Well actually maybe yeah… the rocket to the moon image could be a good way to visualise fundraisers that aren’t for specific bounties…
Like what the PCUK fundraiser could have had for it…

Just waiting for it to pop up on the BC
-
Who is the inventor of NeoScrypt?
That would be “John Doering” aka Ghostlander…
No one knows who he is I suspect… Maybe it’s satoshi… :D
-
500 FTC received, thanks for the edit.

… I won’t raise my head if I don’t have enough support from the people over here. If I can get 10k FTC from 20 users, I’ll ask Izhikievich for mutual exclusive support
I really think you should go for mutual support from square one.
Show them the link to this thread and the BC to show them we are currently raising funds for the initial donation (to show were serious).
Relay the contact via the forum and if they really are interested, I can organise someone to help implement ftc donations into their website.
Then go full steam with raising funds… but 10K is way to much to ask…
We need funds to buy an exchange and develop software etc.

Looks good, I am overdonated right now but this project really have my attention.
-
Save me a space please.
-
I know your a feathercoin veteran panoramix and I love this project so please don’t take any offence. But I would feel happier with calem holding the donations!
Then I’d be more than happy to buy a spot on this scholarly space ship.
-
If people would prefer, I have no issue’s holding the bounty.

If people would prefer, I have no issue’s holding the bounty.
It is better, since you already held it once. Give me an adres to transfer to.
-
Here’s a fresh feather address

-
Simply strikeout the old address and chuck in the new. That way It’s easier to see that the addresses have now changed.
-
It’s flying your way.
-
-
is this donation address still current?
-
I’m still the holder yes. If this never pans out I can easily send everyone back their ftc.
I’m just the holder, not the runner of the project.
-
So what was happening with this?
I can return the ftc easily if it’s not going to happen.
