Really interesting. Is there anymore information on the 'proof of importance' mechanism? Not sure I've seen something like it before, is it something you've created from scratch or built on from somewhere else?
Not sure I understand it entirely but the proof of importance is used to reward creators of content who receive the most citations etc.
We do want to be the first group who utilize this consensus mechanism first.
However, other organizations have tried and succeed! NEM project is an example for your reference. (

The algorithm they used is NCDawareRank.
We utilize random walk algorithm which is different from their project and may be more appropriate for scientific citation. (
