We should consider the much simpler design of getting the regular VC market to care about public goods by having weighers throw money at whoever produces them.
I think it would be less cost effective, and would impel very little evolutionary pressure, when the budget is much smaller than the potential public goods market (which it will be in small scale tests), and it’d be a lot more difficult to sell politically, but maybe there could be a cryptoeconomy where none of those issues matter at all.

It does seem a lot more elegant.
