I love the idea, but does it have to be on Lemmy World? That's not very decentralized :)
If you're looking for suggestions, I feel like dbzer0 might be a good fit.

Consider it at least federated? :)
I've an account on dbzer0 too and often lurk there as well, however I wasn't sure about its longevity given the amount of piracy-related activity going on there.
Lemmy.zip?
You can always try lemmings.world if you want, I'm planning on keeping it long-term.
I'd been wondering if we had a community like this. Joined.
You might want to consider limiting cryptocurrency-related posts in some way, so that the community doesn't end up taken over by them in the future. The profit motive makes things weird there. Blockchains are a pretty inefficient, brute-force solution to decentralization too. I'm pro-Bitcoin, but I actively avoid any other project that involves a blockchain. I know there's a lot of others that feel the same way.
I feel very similar with regard to blockchains, however I didn’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think (or rather hope) that there are some cryptocurrencies/blockchains that are actually useful/interesting to discuss. Certainly agreeing with you though.
Yeah, that's fair.
Nice! Currently working on a federated software, so now I have a place to share it when it's in a presentable state.
Excellent!
Link doesn't work on mbin.
Interesting, not sure why. Try the following:
First one works. Thanks.
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
