this past couple of months at IVPN we came up with projects that 1. improve the VPN service, onboarding and UX for Bitcoiners (eg. quick signup) 2. help general Bitcoin adoption and privacy (eg. a federation). we have a couple of things in the pipeline, but if you have any ideas or feedback I'm here to chat.
