Alright so I've been thinking about this for a while and I think I've finally got it planned out. The TL;DR is, imagine a set of privacy respecting services, out of the 14 eyes, all encrypted, with minimal data stored on servers, is censorship resistant, and more. This is what I'm going to be trying to build if I can get enough funding and support for it, which at the moment isn't looking great - if any of you would like to support this, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you all so much!

@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat i don't think "if I can get enough funding" is a nice pitch. OpenSource projects have to started without much of anything and once they prove to be useful, a community comes around and funds.

@ParmuTownley I don't want to pitch it that way, if it was viable I would not even have anything like that, but hosting services requires you to buy VPSs, VPSs cost cash and a lot of it. I can't dump money I don't have into a project that I don't know if will succeed. I may go into more detail on my ideas for the project in the coming days, but I'm just trying to gauge support and maybe try to see if I can get enough to get the whole thing off the ground.

Thank you so much for your input!
