Ledger – the first peer-reviewed journal on blockchains and cryptocurrencies
Everyone in the blockchain space self-publishes all relevant material hence a journal like this is completely pointless. It also slows down the rate of publishing by requiring ridiculously tedious formatting requirements all so a self-elected panel of experts can deem if a piece of content is worthwhile. Of course, to get through this process we end up with a 'paper' with no runnable code, and its considered a good academic result even if no users ever benefit from it. Waste of time, just a circle jerk for status.<p>Also didn't even mention the most important part: that major contributions to the blockchain space have notably come from outsiders. No thanks to these 'academic' 'experts.'
