Hi, I'm looking a privacy friendly e-mail provider that accepts Monero. Most are accepting credit card only which looks suspicious to me. Thanks.

They keep ignoring Monero support request over 5 years while its one of most requested feature. https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/935538-accounts-payments/suggestions/33188971-accept-monero-for-payment

and bitcoin is not available as a payment method during account sign up, only after creating the account.

@HardenedSteel yeah.. basically proton is a honeypot:

>cannot use their tor hidden service for anonymous account creation

>cannot use the btc payment option during anonymous account creation

>no XMR payment option at all

I think Monero community can do better. Just create a version of cockli service that forces people to pay a buck a month in XMR. Promise to keep their emails encrypted in the server SSDs, or allow them to use POP to pull their emails to their local devices. etc. etc.

Someone can be the new lavabit...
