Decentralized mining pool. No kyc, no registration. Rewards go straight to your bitcoin address. Realtime actual hashrate scoring, no moving average over N period. Block template previews. Stratum v2....
Having to mine BTC on specialized ASIC hardware as opposed to being able to do so on hardware that is widely affordable/accessible doesn’t feel like a particularly democratized system no matter the types of tricks used to link the devices together…

Wild. Insurance companies using car telemetry data from manufacturer services, without explicit permission, to deny claims… 
Not if encrypted or pseudonymous
If everything is encrypted/pseudonymous what purpose is transparency serving, if everything is obfuscated?
I should’ve been more clear. Voting would improve. Making people go to an in person location and stand in line while human beings make determinations as to who is permitted to vote riddled with erro...
If every interaction is visibile does that mean that everyone can see everyone else’s vote? Seems like a great way to target people for intimidation and voter suppression.
