Title: securing internet protocols with bitcoin Post by: bullioner on August 13, 2012, 10:40:50 PM Has anyone done any detailed protocol work on how bitcoin micropayments might be used to incentivise email acceptance (ie as an antispam measure), or otherwise add security features to existing internet protocols?

Why would poor people (not able to pay a fee) be more spammy than rich people (who can afford to pay to send spam, as spamming companies do with snail mail)?

'Meat space' advertising rates are 10x higher, so they can afford postage. Title: Re: securing internet protocols with bitcoin Post by: toscino on August 14, 2012, 05:43:05 PM Plus I already get SPAM. if they are willing to send me a bitcent I might actually read it.
