Of course, very natural ideas. And very important, too, if we care about science. I like your spirit in "a blockchain without cryptocurrency". However a cryptocurrency might also be very useful to pay for reviewing the articles and -why not after all- maybe the authors as well...

It could be. However I think crypto currencies are too unstable and science already receives funding from other parties. Actually I originally thought that such cryptocurrency could be financed by all these grants science already gets. So entities that give the money for scientific research would actually have to buy the cryptocurrency and then give this to the scientists they are financing. But the fact that this currency be subject to volatility issues doesn't seem good to me. It could be, though. Thanks for your comment.
