Do you think there should be a website where you can donate Bitcoin/ other cryptos to the renewable technology you think is most interesting?
The website could then rank the technologies in order of funding achieved and have a news feed of all the emergent ideas.
a few questions:
1. What kind of security would a website like that need to have?
2. How would you get all the scientists from different backgrounds to sign up?
3. How much funding would you likely need to get something like this off the ground? (I know an excellent professional graphic designer who will design the page for free)
..after all some leading climate scientists (Guy Mcpherson is one) are now only giving us until mid-century if we dont change things fast.
My answers:
ad 1. Security is most tricky - this is a topic to long discussion. In this case hiring people who know what they are doing is most important
ad 2. Advertising
Huge campaign. Ads everywhere
ad 3. It is hard to calculate. It all depends on features ... price of ads.. coders.. security...CEO...there is a lot to do... it will be expensive
