the core idea of the email-replacement layer is that, instead of giving out an email address which functions as a bearer token giving people the right to email you, you'll go through an oauth-stye authorization where you give each sender a unique, revokable token.

We should talk, this is very much in line with a lot of things I've been working on

  exactly! we and beka are talking about two separate proposals; the bearer token QR code part of ours is how we'd handle this.

  the model where things are forwarded across arbitrarily many relays needs to go, it's not compatible with privacy. therefore compatibility is already going to be lost. think of it as a chance to do something better.

  I keep thinking about the very real gesture of giving someone my business card. What I'm actually doing is giving them explicit permission to send me a message later. It would be amazing if this gesture had some tech behind it so that I wasn't just giving them a public identifier

  so to be sure we understand, your proposal is that this would be separate from any form of sender *identification*, just a first line of defense?

  just because of compatibility issues with broader email systems

  i think it'd be good to use something as a bearer token which isn't an alternative to an email address but which instead acts as a way to say to an email server "hi, you know me, please let me talk"
