Google Books / HathiTrust / or similar all book scans — $100,000 bounty
Description
Please contact https://software.annas-archive.li/AnnaArchivist/annas-archive/-/issues/234 directly and mention that you found it through XmrBazaar.
Google Books / HathiTrust has lots of scanned books, but which are only exposed through search, where it shows up as tiny snippets around the search results. In HathiTrust this shows up as "limited-view (search-only)".
If you've found a method that you believe will scale up, then please contact us early on with your prototype, and we might be able to help you scale it up.
If you work at Google and have access to this data, then we realize that $100,000 means little to you, but you'd be hailed a legendary archivist if you're able to sneak out this data.
This bounty also applies to other similarly-sized collections, e.g. collected by AI companies, especially if the collection significantly captures rare books.
