It&#8217;s time to innovate with Bitcoin."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Dear Email Service Providers Development Teams such as Protonmail, Outlook, Gmail, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The future of email is requiring the sender of the email to pay a small micro-Satoshi which will increase the profits for your company and the receiver of the email will also make money but most important. It will stop spam<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am writing to propose a feature that could revolutionize email services while addressing the persistent issue of spam, scams, and phishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is to integrate Bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network into email service provider servers to email service provider servers. This would require users to pay a small fee\u2014denominated in satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin)\u2014to send and\/or receive emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it could work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost Per Email:<br>Users would pay a nominal fee of 2 satoshis per email sent (equivalent to approximately $ 0.00292 USD at current exchange rates).<br>The fee would be distributed equally between the Mailu administrator (1 satoshi) and the recipient of the email (1 satoshi).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customizable Pricing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Administrators could set the price per email according to their preferences, fostering competition among Mailu service providers while accommodating different use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spam Prevention:<br>Introducing a small monetary cost per email discourages mass spamming, as sending bulk unsolicited emails would become prohibitively expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incentives for Participation:<br>Recipients would earn satoshis for emails they receive, creating a novel incentive for using the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Administrator Revenue:<br>Email server administrators could generate revenue, further incentivizing adoption and maintenance of the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recognize that implementing such a feature would require significant development work, particularly to integrate with Bitcoin\u2019s Lightning Network. However, I believe this innovation aligns with the future of email and Bitcoin technology, providing a robust solution to one of the internet\u2019s longest-standing challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proposal is intended to spark discussion and provide a direction for solving the spam problem while leveraging cutting-edge payment technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Advantage of Bitcoin Lightning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Bitcoin\u2019s strengths is the ability to use external wallets, allowing satoshi payments to go directly to administrators\u2019 and users\u2019 wallets without relying on server-hosted balances. This ensures privacy, security, and decentralization, aligning with the principles of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I understand that integrating this feature would involve significant development effort, but I believe it offers a forward-looking solution to one of the most persistent challenges in email communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proposal is intended to spark discussion and explore the potential of leveraging Bitcoin to create a spam-free email ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/image\/email-service-providers-lightning-network.YpqA\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/images\/2025\/01\/07\/email-service-providers-lightning-network.webp\" alt=\"email service providers lightning network\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<br>\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>\n    Note ID:\n    <br>\n    <code id=\"nostrNote\" style=\"word-wrap: break-word; white-space: normal;\">note1f5xrq0kjkewwgxuhens02a446fny2z57zrz8nprvz7psuhasmdmsx6dctq\n    <\/code>\n    <br>\n    <button onclick=\"copyToClipboard('nostrNote')\">Copy<\/button>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/btcpay.letsfo.com\/apps\/cyXxp1RKxQnN8bpQJjvwSEHjXbP\/pos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/images\/zapmar.png\"><\/a>Post#183\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Email Service Providers Development Teams such as Protonmail, Outlook, Gmail, etc. The future of email is requiring the sender of the email to pay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[132],"tags":[126,353,355,356,224,223,357,354],"class_list":["post-2243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-social-media","tag-email","tag-gmail","tag-gmx","tag-mail","tag-outlook","tag-protonmail","tag-tuta","tag-zoho"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2243"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2256,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2243\/revisions\/2256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
