It seems to me that anonymous communications is a building block that is still missing. Now, Chaum has a new cryptocoin : https://elixxir.io/ I don't know how good it is, or if it's even working (seems not), but if you take a look at their 'technical brief' you'll see they use a mixnet.

Such a project seems like a good fit for somebody like Roger Ver? What do you think Jim? Maybe you could sell the idea to him?
