The difference between Public Goods Problems and Coordination Problems… and whether it matters.
By Michael Zargham, Scott Moore, and Matt Stephenson (author order randomized)Public Goods Problems and Coordination Problems describe some of the most fundamental and important challenges we face both in Web3 and the wider world. While they are related concepts, they are theoretically distinct. Is this a distinction without a difference? In this note we explore why game theorists and even behavioral economists (like one of your co-authors) make such a distinction. We will describe what the d...
The Ideas We Lose: Funding Scientific Citations through an NFT SplitStream
Introduction: How the First Great Finding in Empirical Science Was Lost for DecadesBelieve it or not, humanity is completely capable of ignoring a $1,000,000,000,000 bill sitting in plain sight. It happened in 1747, when James Lind ran a controlled scientific study — maybe the first ever — and discovered that citrus fruits cured scurvy. In Lind’s day, scurvy killed more British sailors than "shipwreck, storms, all other diseases, and enemy action combined”. Which is to say that Lind's cu...
PaperclipDAO's landmark first trade... and a tribute to the NFTs that got away
We just made our first trade! Paperclip DAO has swapped one $PAPER/$CLIP NFT for the 1/5 SE Earthen Concept Art Card offered by @bitcoinPalmer. Palmer welcome to PaperclipDAO! 🖇 We weighed several factors in making a final decision on which trade to accept. We care about more than just the economic value of a trade; we value the culture, story, and journey of the NFT as well. We also had to make a hard call about whether to honor the past or push towards the future. Our final poll after hour...

The first Zero-Knowledge Analysis NFT was just auctioned off using the SplitStream mechanism. This NFT was from Harry Crane and Ryan Martin's independent data analysis of Planck's test of Seth's Appetite Theory. Half of the funds were then Split to the citations with one of those cited works (so far) splitting further. This is the SplitStream!
SplitStreamees, claim your funds here:

A huge thanks to mirror for helping us implement this (despite a misstep or two I may have made in the process...) Mirror did not request, nor did their build require, that they be included in the SplitStream. But of course we included them, if for no other reason than that we ran it on their technology! Patrick Riviera, in particular, was incredibly helpful throughout. Also thanks to Aleo and Harry Crane and Ryan Martin. We think that Zero Knowledge Analysis has a big future.
And a special thank you to Michael Zargham, the winning bidder, who described the NFT beautifully as a "a unique digital pointer to a node in the directed acyclic graph we call science."
