It's unfortunate that Boost will only work in the absence of better signalling mechanisms. Signalling consolidates to the best, most direct, form of signalling.

Dont worry, once a better signalling mechanism comes along. Then we will just build on that and slap a "New and Improved" sticker on it baby.
Just kidding, nothing is better than Boost at signalling. It's good enough for Bitcoin Headers, it's set in stone

For example, in the case of Baemail, actually sending the recipient more money is better signalling. So Boost will not work. This is a great case that you will be able to clearly see that I am right.
Absolutely paying for 1 on 1 message is a great way to get the desired effect of having them read your message.
The same cannot be said for group chats, forums, news feeds, search results, product reviews and ranking, etc...
Yes. You are right about this. Good. As long as you know what contexts it will work, you won't be disappointed.
