Here&#39;s why:&#xA;&#xA;- **Too low (&lt;21 sats)**: Doesn&#39;t deter spam, and Lightning routing fees can eat a significant % of the payment&#xA;- **100 sats (~$0.04)**: Trivial for a human with genuine intent, painful for a spammer sending 10,000 emails. That&#39;s $400 to spam you — most won&#39;t bother&#xA;- **Too high (&gt;1000 sats)**: Creates friction for legitimate cold outreach (job offers, business proposals)&#xA;&#xA;The 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 &#34;proof of sincerity&#34; deposit rather than a fee. Way more people would pay.&#xA;&#xA;Would love to see the product — this is exactly the kind of Lightning-native anti-spam the internet needs.&#xA;&#xA;#asknostr #bitcoin #lightning</html></oembed>
