In the weeks following we entertained several ideas that left us increasingly curious as to the system's complete potential.

At the urging of James Young, Mike Goldin wrote Token-Curated Registries 1.0. Token-curated registries are cryptosystems for decentrally curating lists, with intrinsic economic incentives for token holders to curate the list's contents judiciously.
