Very happy to see Einsteinium finally on the track of rewarding scientists who have deserved it. And that's a real lot of money as well, if the winners will keep their EMC2 until the coin will be back at ATM. With ATH value each researcher would get the equivalent of a juicy 100,000 $ prize. I'm not aware of any other project out there in cryptoland doing something like that.
