This post explains, how to use AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) app in practice.
AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is an app that gathers donations from donors and distributes it between scientists and free software developers, giving each one accordingly AI assessment. It aims to save the world from scientific publication crisis and give every Internet worker a fair salary.
The app beta is available here.

For Donors
Warning: The app is now in testing.
You can, instead, safely donate here. Alternatively, you can open the app, navigate to the mainpage and in the list of supported blockchain get an address to donate the gas token of the blockchain. Before navigating to a blockchain, you use the “select” widget to choose whether you donate to the global fund (default) or a country-specific fund. You are however recommended to donate here, instead.
Warning: These addresses at app’s mainpage currently support only gas tokens. (If you donate an ERC-20 token, your donation may be lost.)
For Scientists And FOSS Devs
First you need to create your crypto accounts. It is recommended to use MetaMask software for this (it is a standalone app on phones and a browser extension on desktops). Be sure that you have no viruses/Trojans on the machine where you keep your crypto. (Therefore it is usually better to keep crypto on a phone than on a PC, but be sure not to lose or backup your phone.)
If you are a scientist or a free software developer, you can register at the Connect page of the app. Note that before proceeding you are strongly recommended to connect all accounts (such as GitHub and ORCID) that contain your works, because these accounts will be used to calculate your salary and if you skip an active account, your salary will be lesser (until your next automatic AI re-evaluation).
Also enter here the crypto accounts to which you will receive your salary, and you also must connect your email, to receive notifications (such as when you to pass KYC, to receive actual funds).
After connecting your account, go to the mainpage and click Evaluate button. After confirmation, you will be included into the list of salary recipients. Time-from-time (such as weekly or bi-weekly) your salary will be transferred to your account.

Help Test a New Way to Fund Science
AI Internet-Meritocracy (AIIM) is an operational beta designed to allocate available donations to researchers and open-source developers using AI-assisted evaluation of documented contributions. Payment transactions are already recorded on-chain.
The next major evidence milestone is a proposed five-month public adversarial test of the allocation model, with $1,000 distributed to eligible funding recipients. Donations help pay for the development, infrastructure, reviewer and participant recruitment, outreach, and operating work needed to reach and evaluate that milestone.
You do not need to assume AIIM is already proven to support the project. Your donation helps turn the proposal into evidence: what works, what fails, and what should change.

Independent review
Researchers and technical reviewers: independent criticism is welcome, including negative conclusions. Review AIIM’s assumptions, governance, failure modes, and testing plan →
Research status: AIIM remains experimental. AI-generated evaluations can contain factual errors or biases, and decentralized governance and non-custodial components remain under development. That uncertainty is why public testing, auditability, and external criticism are central to the project.
We stumbled over here by a different web address and thought I might as well check things out. I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to looking at your web page repeatedly.
