have you considered: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05887-3 and https://www.embopress.org/doi/10.1002/embr.201338068 ? The system we propose involves an unconditional, equal distribution to all scientists which reduces the need for young scholars to submit proposals or seek crowd funding. At the same time every scientist has to distribute a fraction of everything they receive to other scientists. Those who receive the most, give the most. As funding circulates through the community, it converges on a distribution that reflects the wisdom of all scientists. The system is furthermore compatible with crowd funding because we could allow the public to make donations.
