Let’s do an experiment in "reverse crowdfunding”. I will pay 50 USD to anyone who can suggest a new way of X-risk prevention that is not already mentioned in this roadmap. Post your ideas as a comment to this post.
Should more than one person have the same idea, the award will be made to the person who posted it first.
The idea must be endorsed by me and included in the roadmap in order to qualify, and it must be new, rational and consistent with modern scientific data.
I may include you as a co-author in the roadmap (if you agree).
The roadmap is distributed under an open license GNU.
Payment will be made by PayPal. The total amount of the prize fund is 500 USD (total 10 prizes).
The competition is open until the end of 2015.
The roadmap can be downloaded as a pdf from:
UPDATE: I uploaded new version of the map with changes marked in blue.

Yes, the site is not finished, but the map "Typology of human extinction risks" is ready and will be published next week. Around 100 risks will be listed. Any roadmap has its limitations because of its size and its basic 2D structure. Of course we could and should cover all option for all risks but it should be done in more details. Maybe I should do a map there to each risks will be suggested ways to its prevention.
I didn't really know what x-risks you were talking about; which is why a map of x-risks would have helped me.
