Title: secure mailing coin?
Post by: marilyn4325 on May 14, 2017, 09:29:31 PM
Is there a coin, which allows encrypted messages from user to user or to a group? This could revolutionize eMails: If you want to send a message, you have to pay a low fee, so there would be no mass spam. The message could be integrated in the transaction with the payment. And encrypted with the receiver public key, so that only the receiver can read it. With another type of transaction, possibly a bit more expensive, a user could register a clear name to a coin address. If you want to send bigger eMails or attachments, the content could be stored somewhere on the web, and only the (encrypted) link to the (encrypted) content would be sent.

So would you use such a coin? Sounds like a fun project, I could try to create one, e.g. based on the Wavesplatform.

Nxt has had this exact function for years.
