Bill from Lavaboom here – I need your advice.
Hey guys, I'm a co-founder of Lavaboom.com. We're trying to get more people sending PGP encrypted email, we've built an emailer that's easy to use and we're promoting it to people who use insecure email providers. What do you think we're missing on the website that would persuade someone to switch to a more secure email provider with less features than mainstream competitors?
- meira 12y agoHi Bill! I think it's a great idea and got here doing a search to change my email provider. Some thoughts: - Provide my old email to you in order to create a new one is a leak of privacy. - Pay it with credit card would be too. - Anonymity is good together with privacy because you diminish losses when something goes wrong - This is trend and I bet on it.
- BillFranklin 12y agoHey Meira, thanks so much for your feedback! I think you're right about the email sign up, it's purely for the private beta roll out and we use three-way encryption to protect users who sign up. We plan to allow Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Litecoin :-) German laws oblige us to ask for paying users data (e.g. name and address) but we don't actually check or verify this data. Free users can sign up and provide zero information (apart from an email during private beta).
