Title: Is there any implementation of bitcoin-based spam email control system? Post by: Balloon on August 13, 2014, 11:50:34 PM "Bitcoin's micropayment feature has been a killer feature for application like spam email control." I think this has been mentioned a lot. But is there any real implementation or proposal about such idea? Also some other applications like ad-hoc network, paid wifi access, tor, etc. Is there any implementation about them?

Hashcash was the first proof of work application, and preceded Bitcoin. Bitmessage is a messaging system that requires proof of work in order to limit bloat (including spam). It is not directly based on Bitcoin, is not for email, and does not use micropayments.

Not that I know of. There is a messaging system called BitMessage https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page (https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page)
I have heard about paid-wifi access but never looked into it. Title: Re: Is there any implementation of bitcoin-based spam email control system? Post by: mmeijeri on August 14, 2014, 11:40:26 AM No there is not. I didn't say there was, I said 'check out'. |
