Can POW or tokenization fix wikipedias problems?


Wikipedia has long been known to have flaws in its fundamental design.Editing wars: I imagen requiring POW per submission might really change the nature of trolling the wiki editors. Requiring a contributor/troll to spend 10 minutes per submission waiting while his computer hashes could be a reasonable barrier to keep out trolls and keep in the serious contributors.Cryptocurrencies: Donating to the contributors, NOT the foundation, could really improve the quality of submissions and incentivize more people to contribute. You could pick and choose who you contribute to, or start bounties on articles.Decentralising the database: putting the wikipedia database into a blockchain would secure it from destruction, provide a versioning system, and take the oversight away from the unproductive habits of the foundation. via /r/CryptoCurrency http://bit.ly/1kroOPl
