What I cannot find here and maybe I missed it, what is the format of a decentralized email address? The actual email of today slightly confuses those that do not have the history of it, but the first email addresses referred to "user at PC/server", in other words, in a network bob@station4. The dot net's and com's referred to the type of server generally, then that turned into websites and ......

I'm just wondering how do you guys want to make a decentralized SMTP server what not going to be filtered out by most spam filters? Filters used to do reverse DNS checks and MX lookups for incoming emails and filter those what not coming from the "official" IP for a given domain. SPF checks are also getting more and more widespread. Could you tell me how are you planning to address these issues, please?

I also would like to see more technical aspects.

Ok, a breif but informational update. I understand all of everyone's concerns- however... The biggest focus here is Decentralization. Small-Medium sized corporations spend 10's of thousands of dollars on data, compute power, redundancy, etc. We plan to bring all of that cost to a fraction of what it is. This is the easy part. Some of you wonder what the size of this will be- the short answer, a fraction of bitcoins blockchain size. Anonymity, sure- FQDN's are a problem and there are encryption solutions (O365 you can turn this on pretty easy) but again, the cost for these solutions are expensive when compared to the cost of blockchain technologies. Domains, Exchange Servers, Backup solutions, Dedicated VM's, Server Replication, HA, DR, Etc- The biggest challenges are solved. Await the whitepaper and prepare for the ICO.

As for encryption and anonymity- its your choice when using Encrypx. Use an Encrypx address and have access to a full featured email client and complete anonymity- or use your existing personal, business, corporate address with Encrypx and remove that anonymity- your choice- The savings are still astronomical when compared to traditional environments.

I think people is wondering HOW this is possible. Domain registration is needed for MX records for certain IPs you will be using. In a blockchain how would you declare this? How about new nodes in the blockchain? Do you add them to the MX records? Also, if I onboard my company how would I have my own email name? How about anonymously? Will anything change? Will blockchain be able to read the emails without encryption? If encryption is enforced will the performance still be acceptable?

Yes, everyone would like savings. But the technical aspects as to make sense. Something like this should really have a PoC tested and ready before going to an ICO. But I am pretty sure this will be ignored.

So far this seems to be not a well-thought out idea that's just going for the money grab. No technical paper for people to even audit to see if this is technically feasible or business plan.

Its just: blockchain is cheap/free, therefore we can make money by replacing email with blockchain.

If you think this is easy why is there no whitepaper. Do you really foresee no issue with business onboarding when most small business/medium business never even heard of blockchain technology? I would imagine getting to test out the technology would be very hard.

I did not mean easy in terms of onboarding, I simply meant bringing the price down from typical enterprise solutions. The technical aspects will be challenging but nowhere near impossible.
