Hey @soyrosa, *smiles.

Well, aren’t most people’s e-mails already being read by Google and Microsoft? Seriously, though, thank you for having mentioned the problem of spam.

I agree that it is important for any Steem-based dApp not to be vulnerable to being abused. Perhaps that is where Steem's reputation system can be used.

Is there a bot that can show if spam is generally only posted by those whose reputation number is below a certain number (due to their posts and comments being repeatedly flagged by many different users)?

If so, then perhaps only those whose reputation number is very high can be eligible to use "Steemail", for example, because their reputation number shows they are trustworthy enough not to abuse it.

Yes, part of the appeal of using a blockchain as a ledger is that it takes trust out of the equation. But isn't the reputation number system supposed to partially indicate the trustworthiness of the user? Even if only those whose reputation number is 75 can use "Steemail", for example, then at least some of us would be able to do so, and the rest of us might someday be able to do so.

Thank you for having mentioned the many dApps that you did. Do you happen to know if songs posted on DSound are therefore posted on the blockchain? Or is it like the way that images posted on Steemit are not actually posted on the decentralized Steem blockchain, but on Steemit's centralized servers, instead?

Also, are images posted on appics and steepshot actually posted on the Steem blockchain?

It was only recently when I learned that videos posted to DTube are not posted on the Steem blockchain.

Perhaps it is specifically text that is able to be posted on the Steem blockchain.
