we thought about about crowdsourcing knowledge, from ghostknowledge.com (via @nooriefyi), letter.wiki, @viamirror races
here are pieces manifested through the ghostknowledge, another @startupyworld drop by @sariazout

june 2021:
@sariazout drops @ghost_knowledge: readers crowdfund articles they want to see writers write.
a model for fans to commission work from creators, it produces many of the year's best pieces and inspires @viamirror on-chain version later.

⚡New thing alert⚡
We need a new business model to fund quality, one-off writing.
Today, I’m launching @ghost_knowledge, a 1-week crowdfunding experiment to get the people who don’t write enough to share their knowledge 👻🧠
Why this?👇🏾

Simple model, good early adopter crew.

Brilliant essay by @Jad_AE and @skominers on the future of designing reputation based systems in web3, seeded on @ghost_knowledge 🙏🏼
The metaphor and affordances of "points" and "coins" are well-thought! 👏🏼
>1 year ago, I was sitting in (my fav prof) @skominers' class, learning about marketplace design & dreaming up @koodos. Today, we're excited to share our 'tokenomics' essay for @a16z's Future & a framework to help web3 platforms design reputation systems

Another incredible essay seeded via @ghost_knowledge
If you're building in web3, this one is worth your time.
👏🏽 @skominers @Jad_AE

So excited about my first piece in @a16z Future -- inspired by @ghost_knowledge and co-authored with one of my best @HarvardHBS students ever, @Jad_AE!
We give a new way of thinking about social token design 👇
Reputation-based systems on web3 platforms should be built around two tokens—one for signaling reputation, the other for offering liquidity—that incentives and rewards user contribution at all stages. @Jad_AE & @skominers lay out the framework: future.a16z.com/reputation-b…

8/ The piece was collectively commissioned by 14 backers through @ghost_knowledge, collectively written (with contributions by @LilaShroff and @JuliaLipton), and will hopefully be collectively sold through a partybid
Contribute below! 👇

@AnnikaSays and I are dropping our piece on multiplayer finance soon
It was crowd-commissioned by @ghost_knowledge
With @viamirror's splits, we'll sell as an NFT to pay back the funders
And we're hoping @prtyDAO will buy it
The future of creation and finance is collective.

I'm fascinated by this initiative @ghost_knowledge !
At the post-blog era, so many readings/NL I receive come from investors willing to be writers.
We might finally read from people having something to say rather than something to sell or to justify their investment.

Not only is this a cool new experiment into funding public knowledge, it has inspired me to finish my hiatus from writing and dig into crowdfunding experiments past and future.
Crowdfunding in science has been a hot topic for decades. Is now the time it reaches real scale? How?
👻 🧠 @joey_debruin pledged $50 for @Skominers to write about what’s your take on social token-based business models and how would you go about designing a reputation-based token economy? ghostknowledge.com/request/r…
