Is there a Blockchain email system? Wouldn't that be a solid evolution forward, in terms of human communication?



There is: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/68tyhn/lemonmail_...

It uses IPFS to store encrypted mail messages. Right now its free, but eventually, you will have to pay for the storage of emails.


What point would serve other than increasing latency, and vastly increasing storage and network requirements?

How so?


No spam, no solicitation, you know whose line (email) you're picking up, and whom you're dialing (sending).
