Scientific Research Proof-of-Concept Validates Bitcoin Technology
A recent science publication on F1000Research ventures into the world of using Bitcoin technology to improve the trustworthiness of medical science. The trust in scientific research has diminished over the past few years due to data and evidence manipulation. And it’s possible that Bitcoin could restore that trust. Bitcoin Technology Timestamping For....

Dr. Greg Irving, a Clinical Lecturer from the University of Cambridge, recently authored a research project on the potential impact of blockchain technology on scientific research. While the use is not novel in principle, it underscores the very reason blockchain was created. Why Scientific Research? Irving, and rightfully so, says that in order to truly trust scientific research the reader’s must know that the content and subsequent conclusions of the research has maintained its integrity throughout editing and publishing. The author references “outcome switching, data dredging, and....
I've long been interested in ways to use cryptocurrency mining to solve practical problems; proof-of-work's waste of energy is its biggest problem, the solution to which could be the final nail in fiat's coffin. While Gridcoin showed some promise, it failed to take off, and the search for a scientific coin capable of taking us to the moon continues. Many seemed to criticize its centralized nature--a central authority vets which scientific programs users can participate in, and validates their efforts--and maintaining proper security while dedicating more resources to useful work has proven....
Two doctors have recently devised a concept that makes clinical trial documents immutable using blockchain technology. A universal method of keeping clinical research untampered is an issue within the medical field. Often these trials can be manipulated, and the resulting treatment and medication can be over-exaggerated. A Peer-Reviewed Clinical Trial....
Scientific discoveries of enormous significance are happening at lightning speed in the field of Astronomy. These new breakthroughs convey enormous amounts of data. Scientists are sounding the alarm. Consequently, the present astrostatistics and astroinformatics tools are becoming insufficient to deal with what researchers are calling a”data tsunami.”....
To democratize science through decentralized science would allow for a new kind of interface layer for a modern Scientific Revolution. Scientists can leverage blockchain tools, such as smart contracts and tokens, to improve collaboration in scientific endeavors between different stakeholders. This so-called decentralized science movement, or DeSci for short, combines blockchain and Web3 technologies to improve scientific research.A primary goal of DeSci is wider participation and funding when approaching scientific challenges, as well as democratizing the peer-to-peer review process, which....
