This would also be a good litmus test for what's actually worth putting there (exists in real life) and what isn't (puffery).

  • Delete Protect free-speech rights online by making the web more resistant to censorship. Too vague, nowhere to link
  • Attach identity information such as GPG and OTR keys and email, Bitcoin, and Bitmessage addresses to an identity of your choice. name-id, if that's still a thing
  • Human-meaningful Tor .onion domains. Tor Browser tutorial
  • Decentralized TLS (HTTPS) certificate validation, backed by blockchain consensus. Lots of resources about this
  • Access websites using the .bit top-level domain. Namecoin alone can't be used for this, but it could be a link to ncdns
  • Delete Proposed ideas such as file signatures, voting, bonds/stocks/shares, web of trust, notary services, and proof of existence. (To be implemented.) Does not exist
