⚡ Gmail catches 99.9% of spam. Sounds great until you do the math:
150 MILLION spam emails still reach inboxes every day.
And AI just broke the pattern-matching arms race. AI-generated phishing now has a HIGHER click-through rate than human-written emails.
The fix isn't better filters. It's economics.
What if strangers had to pay 100 sats (~$0.08) to email you? Legitimate people pay once, pennies. Spammers sending 10,000 emails face an $800 bill.
I built this. It's called TANSTAAFL — There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
Your inbox becomes a Lightning-powered gate. Friends email free. Strangers pay sats. Spam dies where economics apply.
