Priority Inbox Design Goals

This feature is inspired by Balaji's concept of crypto-email and the notion of the value of people's attention resource.

Email is being unbundled by narrow apps that handle specific use cases and can be considered today my todo list that others have write permission to. Nobody really feels good about spending time cleaning up their inbox.

This feature enable users who highly-value their time to receive messages from people they don't know who are willing to pay for the users' attention. For people that users do know - Subnet provides the messaging feature.

Users should be able to specify a price in coins for opening a message sent by another user or entity on the Subnet network.

Users should be able to send a message to the priority inbox of another user by paying at least the specified price per message.

Users should be able to pay another's user inbox price and send a message that will be received in the recipient user's inbox.

Recipients should be paid for the amount the sender specified (at least the price per message they ) when they open and view a message in their priority inbox.

All the goals of the user-to-user messaging are also applicable here as the messages are similar in both cases.
