My previous advisor had absolutely no interest in my research.
As a result, I have been sitting on a fast algorithm for maximizing betweenness for 6 months. Wish I could put it to use.

Mmh, if it's actually good (or at least has good potential) you could publish it on Github or any journalistic way :)

I wrote a paper. It's going to be my thesis. The repo itself is private.

Better results in less time. The blue line is my algorithm. The purple line is similar except it trades time for marginal performance improvement.

I don’t get it. People will parade around for equal rights and racial discrimination in banking but when presented a solution they dismiss it and look to their slave owners instead for solutions on the issues their very own slave owners put in place.

Remember that NPCs will always look for the "experts" opinion, even if those "experts" have demonstrably failed by any measure.

Those people don't parade to solve the problem, they parade to establish their power over banks. Bitcoin pulls the rug from under their efforts, this is why they dismiss it.

Two things about this subject:
-
It doesn't have to be a conspiracy. People in academia, especially high income professors, are part of the establishment themselves. They have no own incentive to research and talk more about Bitcoin.
-
It kind of always happens to new projects and specific projects. In the first years of smartphones becoming mainstream academia was slow to catch on. They were afraid of wasting time on something before they new for sure that it wouldn't be a short lived fashion that could be part of the wider "Embedded Systems" umbrella. They also didn't want to have an "iPhone-lecture" or study only iPhones....

Due to how human psychology works combined with the disruptive nature of BTC there are many times more people interested in its failure than its success.
