If you're like me, you often have a lot of ideas that you don't have the time or resources to execute on.

If so, why not write it down for your fellow hackers' enjoyment?

Topics can be anything: product ideas, service ideas, blog post topics, stand up comedy skits, research initiatives you wish could get funded, etc.

A fully decentralized alternative to DNSSEC that isn't Namecoin. Specifically:

    - Use EdDSA (i.e. Ed25519) for digital signatures
    - Use BLAKE2b as the hash function
    - Keep record sizes small
    - Recursive resolvers should use DNSCurve with pinned public keys

We would not only need a solid implementation, but a formal RFC for the IETF to consider/approve.

The idea here is to make it so that no government can influence or control domain name <-> IP address allocations.

Yeah I know, already done, but all the best ideas are co-opted and marketed better. What if instead of this, we could also have:

- Disposable $10.00 phones

- Disposable 'Tweet' cards, or single use tweet tokens

- Disposable emoji greeting cards etc

User's social media popularity level (followers, friends, likes, etc.) allows them to get discounts. The user takes a picture with the product or uses a hashtag to promote the brand.
