Future of the bitcoin-dev mailing list

Nov 7 - Nov 7, 2023

  • The concept of implementing an anti-spam fee for participants on a technical mailing list is introduced, proposing that members could be charged a non-refundable fee to send messages.

This approach aims to reduce spam by imposing a cost barrier for potential spammers. The suggestion includes the possibility of using the lightning network for processing these transactions.

To facilitate this system, custom software development is acknowledged as a requirement. However, it's noted that even with the use of third-party hosting services, such integration is feasible assuming they offer some form of API access. This would enable the necessary automation and management of the anti-spam payment mechanism.

For further engagement or inquiries, contact details are provided, directing individuals to reach out to Peter Todd via his personal website or email, with a specific syntax given for constructing the correct email address.
