Protonmail is an email provider that attempts to keep your email private. They are based in Switzerland and do not have to adhere to disclosure laws like the other service providers based in other countries. {They have their own laws} They are accepting donations to expand and grow their services to accept more accounts in future. https://blockchain.info/address/1Q1nhq1NbxPYAbw1BppwKbCqg58ZqMb9A8?filter=2https://protonmail.ch/They have reached capacity but donations will keep them going to protect your email privacy. If you know of any other email service providers with this goal, please share with us. If they accept Bitcoin donations, we will support them, because our privacy is important to us.

I think I was among the first from around here to discover it. I've mentioned it in some thread recently however I do not remember which one. I was invited a few weeks back, and I have my account. They're great, easy to use and protected.
Just make sure that you don't lose your key, or you have to make another email address.

Hey, sorry.... I missed that post. No harm in creating a thread for it to discuss and identiify services that add value to Bitcoin and privacy. Most people just accept that all information should be public domain or snooped by governments and ignore the problems associated with this responsibillity. Yes, there are certain things that are not allowed through laws and we leave the courts to deal with that.... but why do they need to know, what you are having for lunch tonight or who is picking up your kids at school... things we type in emails to our spouse and friends. This type of information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

A thread is necessary although I did not have enough time to make it myself. Ignorant ones often say: If you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't worry. This is obviously all messed up. When a person watches your every move, the government calls them a stalker. When the government watches your every move, it's helping the fight against the terrorists. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FBW0ol2E.jpg&t=665&c=fPUd1b5ctjZ7Iw)

But now I will certainly make an account there. I would be happy to donate bitcoin to them since from I could see they are operation for free. I wish all e-mail operators be like this.

We are adding servers constantly and will send you an invitation as soon as possible. i think after OP create thread, many user here want to join that's why they hit capacity limit

I wonder what is the source of their revenue, otherwise how can they survive!

They had a crowdfunding campaign on July 2014 which perk had 'instant invitation'. I missed it, so I had to wait a lot.

You could ask Kevin in the thread on Reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2zddrk/protonmail_accepts_bitcoin/I posted it there too, to get more people to notice it. Other service providers are good and they have great features, but they share your information or they bombard you with Ad's or they snoop on your private conversations. These guys host their own servers and they operate from a neutral country, with it's own laws. Do not use them for illegal activities... your account will be suspended... but have some more privacy. They explain everything on their site. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Yes.. there is a waiting period, because they are high in demand {That should tell you something} but with more crowd funding they could grow quicker and have instant account activation like the rest of them. I support them, because they support Bitcoin donations....

wo, half an year of waiting! They must severely be short of fund to expand their capacity quickly. I wonder what is the source of their revenue, otherwise how can they survive! Actually I got an invite in like a month or even less. It really depends, I'm not sure on which factors. Luck? I'm just going to recommend them. Everyone should sign up with it and use as primary email or at least secondary. Safety and privacy comes first in times like these.

Anyway protonmail with GPG seems to be most secure way to protect your privacy.

I got mine on then too. In such case, the waiting time depended on when did you request invite.

Looks good, thanks for the heads up op, always nice to know safe ways to have a god damn email those days, something difficult. For now registration is closed tho.
