PIVX,
First and foremost has to be PIVX. This project and it's principles are very close to my heart. I have been a member of the PIVX team since Nov 2016, and it's been a great ride so far, through the addition of Zerocoin, Hardware wallet support and the Rebranding from DNet to PIVX. I'm hoping that PIVX continues to grow and develop as Cryptos best pure privacy currency, with no ICO. New developments for this year, include Zdex, IOS wallet, Community designed Governance and Dandelion Protocol plus a whole lot more, A more definitive list can be found here.
The second project of the Five is #CF
Hashtag CF
Hashtag CF is a Brand new project that I will be working on in 2018, This project is aimed at decentralising art provenance and sharing the implementation costs and rewards with token holders and charitable donations.
For me personally this project is one of only 2 I'm working on that I'm expecting to make personal financial gain from, this one is less about altruism than it is about corpulent pockets.

LWF
Lwf.io is an acronym for local world forwarders, and is a project head quartered in Bologna Italy. LWF is also blockchain based as all of my projects for this year will be. LWF aims to be a decentralised logistics platform. I was asked to be an advisor for the project, however once I started to realise the scope and possibilities for the project I have decided to also invest and add it to the main projects that I'm working on.
Developing nations would benefit massively from a decentralised logistics platform, as they currently have very few and the local knowledge is not conducive to big business hierarchical structures, this is the second and final project I expect to make me personal gain this year.
Libertaria
Libertaria is the brainchild and lifes work of Markus Maiwald, a crypto friend of mine for a while now, we have differing methods, but very similar philosophies. Libertaria aims to build a fully decentralised and private internet and governance structure along with an Internet of things type platform, legal structure and blockchain deployment platform. Libertaria is a hugely ambitious project but Markus certainly has the man power to pull it off. They have already built a linux based custom operating system for their full nodes, which are working on mainnet with raspberry pis. This project may well make me plenty of money, but the altruistic goals far outweigh the financial benefits for me.
Neutron (NTRN)
Neutron (NTRN), is a Dash/PIVX fork which aims to also be an education platform. I am a massive supporter of blockchain based education and certification and this is the first project I've seen that directly addresses this. There are plenty of educators or so-called educators in the tech and crypto area, however there are very few educational standards and I'm not sure the legacy education entities such as schools and universities are capable of keeping pace with the advances in tech without some decentralised help. Allowing people from around the world to all learn from a standard and at a price which fairly reflects the place in which they are studying, from free in the developing world tovery expensive in prestegeous universities and colleges. The charges are not only for the course materials which in this case will be totally digital, but also for the teaching staff and membership to exclusive alumni groups.
Bedford Bitcoin College is a very simple idea of building a short course that people can take in person as distance learning is not ideal for everyone, using syllabus created in NTRN will keep BBC up to date and BBC can prove itself to be a concept case for copycat projects all over the world. The financial gain from this project is irrelevant, it may even be a money loser. The prospect of international affordable and respeced educational standards delivered by internet and certified by blockchain are huge.
The final project is top secret but sexy as hell!!
