COIN JANITOR: Let's clean up cryptocurrency and restore lost value to the crypto economy! The idea is a bit crazy but pretty unique, and completely makes sense. CoinJanitor is a community-driven project that aims to unlock value trapped in failed coins. With more than 4,500 cryptocurrencies in circulation, and only about 1,500 available on major exchanges, there are thousands of coins that are holding value up in a way that cannot be transferred into the markets. Furthermore, many of these projects have failed to achieve their goals or have failed to achieve the network effect they needed to thrive. CoinJanitor will offer users, creators and community members who have trapped value in those projects, a way to transfer their value out of those blockchains. For those interested in the project, there's also an interesting bounty campaign you may want to check. You can read all details in the official thread:
