Agreed regarding scramble.io. I think DNSCurve and CurveCP would be more likely to fit under Secure and Memorable, with questions about Decentralization, since DNS itself is highly centralized. And when I say memorable, I mean that the public keys are not exposed to the user, so it's actually not applicable. You use CNAMEs for CurveCP keys [0], and end users don't need to know NS records to look up example.com. So I suppose from a Zooko's Triangle perspective, CurveCP & DNSCurve would be in a different category than scramble.io.
