Here's why:\n\n- **Too low (\u003c21 sats)**: Doesn't deter spam, and Lightning routing fees can eat a significant % of the payment\n- **100 sats (~$0.04)**: Trivial for a human with genuine intent, painful for a spammer sending 10,000 emails. That's $400 to spam you — most won't bother\n- **Too high (\u003e1000 sats)**: Creates friction for legitimate cold outreach (job offers, business proposals)\n\nThe real question is: **do you refund if you reply?** That changes the psychology completely. If senders know they get their sats back when you engage, the 100 sats becomes a \"proof of sincerity\" deposit rather than a fee. Way more people would pay.\n\nWould love to see the product — this is exactly the kind of Lightning-native anti-spam the internet needs.\n\n#asknostr #bitcoin #lightning"}
