I have some personal opinions on this and I know that other people find this area controversial to say the least. What are your thoughts on this? Where do we draw the line on what should be included or not?

Also projects around AI is also controversial to many people.

One of problem with blockchains/web3 is number of scam/ponzi schemes in this sphere and in general being running demonstration "that is why we have financial regulation".

Note that it is my personal opinion, but for web3/blockchain I am more in direction "kill it with fire" while I have no such reaction to AI projects.

Though I admit that there were some non-scam and worthwhile projects also on sphere of blockchains.

I guess I would advise very strict review of web3/blockchain stuff and quick rejection if things are suspicious? And accept only clearly reputable projects? Without total topic ban?

Agreed.

This sounds reasonable.

mark private fiat projects to make skipping them easier

I propose to add "Grant for subset of cryptocurrency topic." or similar at start of description of each cryptocurrency-related grant to allow easy skipping of them.

This is probing PR and I have done it for one project, if accepted I would do the same for more (maybe even without PR)

See #64

Personally I have temptation to remove them all altogether, not just scammy/suspicious ones but then you have no clear border what else should be ejected so I am scared to start such censorship process.

But I think that clearly describing them would be OK, as many people are not going to be interested in them.
