• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

i'm not a developer and have been out of XDA since my HTC HD2 :D

like many of us i have security and privacy concerns regarding today's internet landscape. i had an idea which i'm not sure if it's feasible or not and therefore i'm dropping it here to see if anyone is willing to pick up the project.

i was considering a rom that could take advantage of the blockchain system for most of it's communications (i know, still not enough users), an with the following features:
- a sandbox system to run most apps, giving fabricated sensor data to the apps
- any internet access for the apps would have to be filtered through a firewall that would ask permission, (option for permanent permission or ask every time)
- the firewall would, where possible, identify the server/website that the app was contacting and provide some information about the data being transmitted
- some apps could be given trusted status by the user, (privacy warning given to the user).
- other security features such as the option to completely shutdown the radios.

i'm not aware of anything like this, specially the sandbox, any sugestions would be welcome :)
