This is probably never going to happen... But, IMHO, I think the best way would be to implement a very small fee for each call placed. Even if it was a penny or a few cents, most people, if not all will never feel that but it would put most of the robo-callers out of business since they place thousands if not millions of calls per month.
- maccio92 8y agoThere's a company that implemented this for email using cryptocurrency. https://bitbounce.com/ https://bitbounce.com/ Any unfamiliar senders get an autoreply asking for them to pay a fee to send the email. You as the receiver get paid this fee (-30%) for each email received (not read)

- zw123456 8y agoInteresting. Also, there used to be a feature for cell phones that was called "Caller Pays" where the caller paid to place a call to you (back when they charged you per minute to talk on a cell phone) but of course the cell company kept the money. But maybe cell companies could come up with something like that now but the customer gets the fee. For friends who call one another, it would cancel each others fees out over time but it would put scammers out of business.
