University of Zurich performs an experiment that rewards participants in Bitcoins:

That's probably the first time Bitcoin is used for scientific research. Bitcoin is a great choice as it allows for anonymous incentives.

Well, looks like the experiment has ended; they're still accepting the survey but payments are over.

10 mBTC isn't huge, but what's important is that they thought of using Bitcoin as a reward, opening a new way of using Bitcoins.

It's a funny question they've put up. Don't really see what result they will get out of the questions, but hey ho. Will report back if I happen to get the reward paid out.


As expected no payouts. Has anyone (who did it before 31st of december) received an email with results or something as a follow-up? I'd be interested in the results Smiley

i answered the doc sometime in December but i cant remember recieving any further email from them
