Would be cool to have a "don't scan me bro" list of IP's that engage in this that we could share - is there such a thing?

The problem is that becomes a concentrator of IPs behind which privacy conscious individuals exist, which probably has higher value to "whoever's buying". It's a conundrum.
It sounds like what GP is suggesting is to collect ips of all the scanners, and share the list of ips among ourselves, so we can collectively route their traffic to /dev/null.
aaaaah, that makes sense. See the links in my original post.
Why not also sell the scans of scanners to the scanners customers and make a little pocket change?
There's a comment downthread discussing something similar; I haven't tried it though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40695179
You're being sarcastic, right? We did this for telephone numbers and saw how it turned out...
