I wrote a public goods purity test based on Vitalik's latest post: https://blog.danfinlay.com/getting-specific-about-why-open-source-is-a-more-pure-public-good/

Hey @vgr I came up with a 2x2 but I don't think I have very entertaining examples to populate it with. You're kinda the boss at this, could you throw me one or two that come to mind?

I called it a purity test for the clickbait appeal. It's already been a purity test, albeit a poorly defined one. I'm actually trying to stretch that inscrutable test into a legible spectrum.

The "maintenance" axis is important! It gets to the difference between "funding a public good" and "governing a public good", the latter has challenges that go beyond those of the former.

thanks for the article, interesting read. A thought that came to mind while reading it: Human's can be poor decision makers without a proper incentive structures, this is why we have social security (as a significant segment of the population doesn't adequately save for retirement) and why opt-out organ donor jurisdictions have less organ scarcity that opt-in jurisdictions. Having an opt-in funding mechanisms for public goods is a problem that needs to be resolved here.
