Protonmail accepts bitcoin payments
reply
You can run your own domain email address to easily disguise you're using protonmail

There’s any promo or discount code?

I know, but I feel like having a protonmail address might be a signal that says "I'm sketchy, take a closer look at me".
reply
Liking privacy doesn’t make you sketchy, but point taken
reply
You can use their someone@pm.me for your email which doesn't signal much.
Also, just like 99.99% of people have no clue that your USB drive is actually a bitcoin hardware wallet, I think most people don't give a damn about protonmail (unless you are in certain jurisdictions).

This is true..

this isn’t the product you’re describing, but it’s pretty cool regardless.
i just set up an email alias on nodeless and now in order to reach me with that email (kr@nodeless.io), people need to pay sats.
if they pay, the email is redirected to my main email inbox. if not, i never see it.
reply
I've definitely been on the lookout for something that allows me to charge sats to accept an email. I read that Saylor did it, and HashCash, which is one of the inspirations for PoW, did something similar (although it wasn't as good because it prevented spam without actually transferring value directly to me beyond not having to read junk). Thanks!

Can I pay with BitCoin et al?
We do not offer on-site payments with BitCoins. However, if this is your preferred payment method, you can reach out to support and we will give you our wallet address. Any paid amount will be transfered to your account balance in U
I use the Micro subscription ($19 / year), with my own domain. It's not beautiful, but it does the job.

Hosting companies usually also offer business email hosting plans (with your domain). Here is a list of 7 hosting providers that accept bitcoin payments. https://coinsutra.com/bitcoin-hosting-server/
For example Namecheap accepts bitcoin and offers email plans: https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/
Hope it helps.

Skiff mail also allows you to pay with crypto apparently: https://skiff.com/blog/how-to-pay-in-crypto

I am using Tutanota ( switched from Protonmail )
reply
Why did you switch? Would you recommend it over Proton?
reply
I feel like Proton is trying to do everything these days, from Email, VPN to calendar, but all I need is a private email service and the last thing I want is to rely too much on the same company.
So I switched to Tutanota for Mail ( paid with onchain Bitcoin ), and Mullvad for VPN ( paid with Lightning )
reply
Thanks! Good point about not trusting one company with everything.
