Tech Bulldada
So... I'm gonna just put two things next to each other that wandered into my field of vision:
1) https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/21/17037606/telegram-open-network-app-ico-cryptocurrency-ton, https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/08/telegram-open-network/ -- Telegram's launching a cryptocurrency to help pay for itself because its founders were self-financed and the service has no monetization engine without it.
2) https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Features -- There's apparently a software bundle aimed at doing remote VPN that also hosts Matrix, among a bunch of other stuff.
I suspect I see May's project.
