Bounty suggestion: Reach out to people who have had their grants accepted (or even not accepted) by the LTFF, and ask them to publish them in exchange for $100-$500.
Why is this good: This might make it easier for prospective candidates to write their applications
Why do this as a bounty + assurance contract:
Why assurance contract: I might find it kind of scary to publish my own application alone, but easier if others do as well.
Why bounty: It feels like there is a cost to publishing an application because they were written by one’s younger self, and they are slightly personal, and people have limited capacity to internalize externalities before they burn out.
This would require taking on some coordination costs
E.g., talking to the LTFF about whether the risks of people “hacking” the application process is worth the increase in the ease of applying.
E.g., actually enforcing strict comment guidelines about not posting comments which would make it more costly to publish applications.
