I keep thinking we need monero insurance (life, health, auto, etc) where premiums are paid in monero and benifits are only paid out in monero. What services do you think we need?
I think we need a monero based encyclapedia. Like a wiki fork where instead of a wikimedia foundation, a company being created to manage the software stack, lies a decentralized XMR network powered encyclopedia engine.
The only reason I can’t contribute to Wikipedia/Wiktionary is, I can’t edit it via Tor. Otherwise I could have improved a lot of articles e.g. when there is a typo in a formula. So indeed, a privacy-first version of WP would sound nice.
WP’s cookies/GeoIP tracking is a bit too excessive; its log retention being very long, possibly indefinite (hence a privacy front-end Wikiless, e.g. https://wl.vern.cc/ ). Freedom to share info must be based on privacy; when linked to real-life work etc., one has to self-censor their speech (e.g. a school teacher may not want to publicly admit that they’re a Monero supporter for fear of potential negative connotation, misunderstanding).
Indeed, WP editors (supposedly intelligent) seem to be generally anti-crypto, arguing they shouldn’t accept donations in crypto…
Admittedly, moderation would be difficult when anonymous editing is allowed. Still WP could let one sign up over Tails, with understanding that their account will be instantly banned if they vandalize something and their first 100 edits will have to be manually approved by a mod. I’m pretty sure the mod would be soon overwhelmingly convinced that this “anonymous editor from Tails” is not bad, perhaps much better than an average editor, and that accepting “mysterious editors” like this could be fruitful.
