Past-time IRC enthusiasts here! Fluo.chat aims to recapture the essence of those vibrant online meeting places of the past and adapt it for the modern digital landscape. The concept of genuine, real-time interaction with strangers has become a rarity.

My guess is that important people would have enough money to not care about fee and chose to donate directly which is possible on the site. It sounds better anyways unless you are providing a service

This is tricky. If receiver has sender's email (cause that's how it goes because I don't want to make people create accounts) he can reply back directly going round veropost. In that case we run the service for free. If we want to track answers everything needs to be through our servers and I don't want to create gmail, just a front. I am not resistant to change though if there is demand for that.

Super good questions. I wish I had all the answers and I hope the system unfolds in a such a way that answers will come along the way. That's Agile :)

I have it shown as [email protected] currently so you can see that you have unpaid emails, I can do it like you propose sure good idea.

Currently no, that would be an idea though I can implement it if there is interest.But then why would you give out this account and not your gmail if you want to manual go through them? Kind of defeats purpose?

wow thank you will solve it immediately

yes exactly. you set the price you want. I guess big Venture Capital firms would set it pretty high and a kind of famous lawyer would set it also high.

I think maybe the word spam is not what I should be using for this project as if I write a message to Elon Musk asking him something I am not spamming but my email will not get through as if I donate let's say 1K first to his org of choice he will read it. Any ideas of how to rephrase it?
Re:Show HN: Veropost – Charge people to send you email on Thursday April 06, 2017 @08:56AM (#14050053)
The idea is a bit different from that, the point is to have a way to email VCs or famous actors, recaptcha just blocks bots.

Why not charge a very small amount like $1? Do you see any problems with that?
Re:Show HN: Veropost – Charge people to send you email on Thursday April 06, 2017 @07:45AM (#14049672)
to be honest I thought vero means true from verus so the meaning is true mail :) I like your interpretation too though

Hi people, project developer here

I built this to solve a specific problem. Ordinary people cannot cold email someone that is "out of their league". My vision is to have someone like Angelina Jolie responding to emails for a $200 donation to Unicef for example. How to actually make it happen is another subject but the implementation is here :) Bitcoin currently solves complexity, I hope to expand it to fiat soon.

P.S I get questions about 21.co, my site was up on September 2016...
