Show HN: Wrte.io – Charge for each email you get

Is the payment to get the email delivered or to get guaranteed response?<p>I&#x27;d prefer the latter for two reasons: 1) as a receiver I don&#x27;t want to miss out on a potentially interesting email just because the sender couldn&#x27;t pay (for technical or financial reasons), and 2) as a sender I&#x27;d like some sort of guarantee if I&#x27;m going to pay for something.<p>It&#x27;s probably the more difficult approach of the two so I suggest testing both approaches and see what works best.<p>Congrats on getting this far already. Like you say it&#x27;s not a new idea, but who cares about ideas. It&#x27;s about execution anyway. Looking forward to the launch!

What a great way to make sure you only get emails from rich, tech-savvy people.

This could be interesting with an API to control pricing, that way it could be adjusted by BTC =&gt; local currency -- but also based on other things.<p>I for example, would like a multiplier based on my backlog. I might start at 20 cents an email -- but if I have 1,000 messages waiting for me to read, I would increase the price to contact me to $20 an email -- because at a certain point I can&#x27;t keep up and the value per email drops to 0.

If you have to pay for an email anyway, would You instead call or pick some other way of direct communication? Not quite sure that replacing the indirect communication, where You can procrastinate to some extent, with direct one will solve the issues it promises.

Why limit this service to bitcoin if the generalized version for any currency exists already? Head over to <a href="https://ningo.me" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ningo.me</a>! Shall we join forces?

Is it like $100 or like $0.01? Look like very old idea of Bill Gates.
