> However a better system would be pay to send, be paid to receive.

earn.com does exactly that already and it is based on Bitcoin.

earn.com does not aim to fight against spam but rather to help popular people earn money when they read/respond to emails and make you pay to reach the attention of important people. Therefore, the more popular you are the more you get when you read and respond. It’s basic motive is to earn money to read and respond to mails. What I propose is the following to fight spam all over the Internet:

IETF (or W3C/IEEE/EFF) owns a token to be used in mail communication on sender-pays-recipient scheme. 1 mail costs 1 MC (MailCoin). All emails are equal, all people are equal. Simple. Normal people who send and receive emails pay a net cost around zero, those who send a lot of emails to their clients and receive much less pay a fair amount. Spammers who broadcast and don’t receive die. The effectiveness of this algorithm lies in the fact that since the costs of emails I receive and send cancel out I will pay a net cost around zero under a fee that is enough to kill spammers.

If this fee comes from a token owned by IEFT (or a consortium of IETF, W3C, IEEE, EFF, all the mail service providers like Google, Microsoft, etc. will support. It can even make it to the SMTP protocol in the long run since it is simple, fair and secure. I am talking about a little p

The income created by creating and selling the tokens goes to IETF/W3C to be used to serve the Internet.

Thanks. I checked both. I propose something different. In fact they are too complicated and no wonder why they did not succeed. They cannot make it to the SMTP. My proposal is simple. Just attach a signed script of payment to the mail. That’s it. A simple rule for all mails. It can make it to the SMTP if IETF or W3C (or a similar consortium) owns the coin. The income is spent for the Internet.

6,697,462: “…the system and method forces the money associated with the bond to be forfeited if the communication is rejected or deemed undesirable by the recipient. To prevent financially motivated abuse on the part of recipients, the preferred embodiment forfeits the bond money in favor of a third party such as a charity or governmental entity, to which the recipient has no legal obligation.”

7,072,943: “ An Email guarantee deposit method, system, and program product, with the method comprising in one embodiment, the steps of: receiving from a sender a request to send to a recipient an Email; receiving a deposit or an authorization to obtain a deposit of something of value; sending the Email to the recipient only if a deposit of authorization for a deposit is received; determining if the recipient has accepted the deposit; and if the recipient has accepted the deposit, then facilitating the disposal of the deposit. In an important alternate embodiment, a deposit can be required before an Email with a auditory or visual enhancement is provided, or before routing to a designated type of device occurs. “
