Proposal: Implementation of StackerMail - Expand Your Communication, Pay with Satoshis!
Introduction:
In a continuous effort to enhance the user experience on Stacker.News, we propose the addition of StackerMail, a paid email system, to our existing set of features. This proposal aims to integrate an email solution into the platform, providing users with the ability to broaden their communication while exploring new payment possibilities using satoshis.
Justification:
-
Innovation and Differentiation: StackerMail represents innovation by introducing a unique way to send emails, setting it apart from other platforms.
-
Sustainable Monetization: The introduction of satoshi payments offers a new revenue source, ensuring the platform's financial sustainability.
-
Continuous Integration: The implementation of StackerMail will be carefully integrated into the existing structure of Stacker.News, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
Proposed Features:
-
Custom Email Address:
- Each user will have an exclusive email address in the format
<user>@stackermail.com, providing a distinct identity within the community.
- Each user will have an exclusive email address in the format
-
Payment in Satoshis:
- The implementation will include efficient payment logic, accepting satoshis as the exclusive form of transaction.
-
Paid Email Sending:
- Users can send emails to other StackerMail addresses at a cost in satoshis, encouraging meaningful communication and reducing spam.
-
Integration with Referral Invitation Opinion:
- Automatically, each email sent will include a referral invitation opinion, encouraging recipients to join the Stacker.News community.
Technical Implementation:
The proposal involves the creation of endpoints on GitHub to facilitate collaborative development. We suggest the following steps:
-
Add Route for StackerMail:
- Create a dedicated route for StackerMail, accessible via an API, allowing programmatic interactions.
# Example in Flask (Python) @app.route('/stackermail/send', methods=['POST']) def send_email(): # Logic to process paid email sending return jsonify({"status": "success"})
