How does the NFT thing work? I do not have Polygon tokens but I wonder what have you envisioned as the functionality of this to be?

#12How does the NFT thing work? I do not have Polygon tokens but I wonder what have you envisioned as the functionality of this to be?
Since it was for a ETHGlobal hackathon I thought it would be fun to experiment with the feature where we mint an NFT where the metadata points to the IPFS link. You could then do whatever you do with an NFT.

#13Hmm, my Firefox here on Ubuntu does not trust that CA for some reason. And clicking "Accept the risk and continue" seems to just land me back at the "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" page.

I think only www.xirva.org has valid certificate, maybe Firefox strips the www for some reason.

#15Just a heads up comment, it seems some of the IPFS links are broken. For example I just visited https://www.xirva.org/categories/cs.AI and all links point to an "undefined" path example https://ipfs.io/ipfs/undefined/2107.00082.pdf But overall, great idea!
Not all articles are uploaded yet, it is still WIP.
that's fine. Maybe then for a better user experience have grey-out or removed the IPFS download button for the articles that haven't been uploaded yet.

I wonder how much information do you get from arxiv regarding the dependency graph via citations. Could there be a way that I, as I upload my own manuscript, to tip the authors of the people I citated and conversely someday have the possibility of also generating revenue personally as such? It would be much nicer, I think, if the fees that are currently paid to journals to instead go to the authors that also contributed to my work.

There are for sure interesting ideas related to new forms of scientific funding. The issue I have and why the project is currently on standby is how to combat spam/hoax articles

Oh dear.

#19I get an error on several articles to the effect of:
invalid ipfs path: invalid path "/ipfs/undefined/2107.00648.pdf": invalid CID: expected 1 as the cid version number, got: 31965309853

#20Hey Hugo, do you have an email I could reach you at? I've been thinking/working on these problems for 3 years now and would love to find some smart people to partner with to further develop the ideas. I don't have much to show publicly right now, but https://intpub.org/ (soon to be scipub.app) is the start.
