No, that is not a solution, because it is based on the engineering of

as I have already explained in another post, I'm building something that will
work even if only a single person uses it. Obviously, full effectiveness isn't

It's a transitional tool.
Charging for email is an exceptionally hopeless idea, because it starts
with "first a large minority of users install email stamp software
and buy stamps." Until at least 10,000,000 people regularly stamp
their messages and require stamps on incoming mail, stamps are only
overhead that will merely cause legitimate mail to be lost.
if you had read the document I had been pointing people to, we're not talking
about purchasing stamps. Stamps are generated through a proof of work puzzle
known as hashcash.
In the real world, if the first "early adopter" users don't find it
useful (whatever it is), you will never have a second batch of users,
and the early adopters will soon drop it.
