Just wondering that building a new mail system which can provide anonymous mail system and protect mail safu from attacking.
We are planing to use Ethereum, public key & private key are mapping to the only mail address.
When you send mail in this system, your mail will be encrypted by your public key, and you need private key to unlock the mail for reading.
This a Peer-to-peer encryption mail system , and it also simple , fast , easy to use!
We will open source at next month.
It's a clearly great idea but remember this kind of system maybe abused by the people who hunting for an airdrops. They will spamming making many different account with many addresses to join an airdrops, so this kind of system will make them easier to abuse and it will make the database will fill the storage really fast.
Yes, the database is a problem, but we have solutions to solve it.
Spammers are everywhere, register a new mail is easy ,so what we should is making a filter.
Thank you my friend!
Will you apply phone number verification for that? We have some centralized platform like google who have already implemented this and that's very effective to prevent the spammers.
Another problem should be the priv key that must be used to open the email. For me, it's much better when your platform will not directly use priv key as a key to open the email consider about it's a very sensitive case.
It should be a good idea to create another encryption for the privatekey and that can be used to open the email.
I just think about there was a lot of the trap in the internet.
It's too risky use priv key as a key to sign in on your email.
You can think it is just like 'Myetherwallet' , we prefer users to import their keystore and they have the password for the keystore, then users can use it to login, sendind mail or decrypt mail ..etc
We won't do verification for user phone because we need to make sure users are anonymous!
