Wow, thanks for the thoughtful comment! I've also thought about how to implement blockchain technology to help solve these issues. I really like the article you shared, it is very comprehensive from data storage, to experiment registration, and even publishing.
Are you aware of anyone who has implemented this? It would be difficult to do all of it correctly, but the pieces are definitely available.
Digital Science (https://www.digital-science.com) is a company that spun out of Nature Publishing that seems to be focusing on some aspects of utilizing blockchain for scientific publishing. They only really seem focused on pushing the current publishing system, just in the cloud era...
Blockchain for Science (https://www.blockchainforscience.com) seems more focused on the reproducibility issue and decentralization. A co-founder was the author of the previous article. The executive summary is a bit undefined, but I haven't done a deep review of the white paper. I will do that and create a new post some time this week, at least from the scientist perspective.
