RE: Wherein I ramble along, trying to think about putting genomes on blockchains
Great analysis, kudus for the honest conclusion. Edit: kudos - I can't afford to donate African antelope.
I'd prefer to put SciHub on the blockchain (or a similar platform like IPFS), so that everybody can read scientific research papers. Censorship resistance is what blockchains and decentralized networks do best. And since they're inefficient storage systems, it makes sense to store results rather than data.
Thanks and I agree. Papers are a whole different thing than data and are probably a much better thing to put on a blockchain - especially when you get into stuff like accessibility and such. If you haven't read them, you may want to check out @simoxenham's series of articles, which touch on that.
