You know, cryptocurrency may be pretty off, but Cryptography and security tools in Linux would be an interesting topic. delving into cold storage on paper wallets got me interested cryptography and the idea of using open source tools to secure my data and things. Ideas of what to do with NFC tags, how to do cold storage using open source security tools like the KeePass variants, all that is super interesting. And while not directly Linux, it's certainly in the ethos of FOSS.
I'm no cryptocurrency expert; and I don't think many of those who claim to be are. I also think there's a potential to get into a dark rabbit hole here that's too far from (what I understand to be) the heart of the user group: exploring the wonders of GNU Linux. However the mechanics of cryptography security are fascinating and it would be cool to see other practical applications you guys are into.
