>From technical side, I can imagine:

1) Introduce additional category Cryptocurrencies usable with Office (for
wallets and financial software) and Utility (for miners), eventually Education
(for educational software).

Desktop file would look then:
Categories=Office;Cryptocurrencies;

2) Maybe Cryptocurrencies could be replaced with something less specific that
could include other Peer-to-Peer economy applications, or even other
Peer-to-Peer applications. It could be used with Office, Utility or more.

Desktop file would look then:
Categories=Office;P2P;

3) Introduce additional category Cryptography that can be used with Office,
Utility, and it could be used with a combination with other Categories to get a
better resolution. Menu layout authors can then decide to separate cryptography
technologies.

Desktop file would look then:
Categories=Office;Finance;Cryptography;

Menu authors can decide to make a dedicated folder for such combination of
tags. If they decide not to do that, cryptocurrencies will be in the same
folder like Finance folder.

4) Introduce additional category P2P that can be used with Office, Utility and
more, and it could be used with a combination with other Categories to get a
better resolution. Menu layout authors can then decide to separate cryptography
technologies.

Desktop file would look then:
Categories=Office;Finance;P2P;

Menu authors can decide to make a dedicated folder for such combination of
tags. If they decide not to do that, cryptocurrencies will be in the same
folder like Finance folder.


P. S.: Looking at the current spec, Education;Finance; should be allowed as
well.
