Sending message options:

  1. Message with bitcoin value attached to recipient
  2. Boost a message (showing how much energy was spent)

Both options provide different benefits/drawbacks. For ex, Option 2 does not allow receiver to just take the money.

But it seems that there are other solutions to the "went without" problem than (2) that also provide a benefit to the recipient.

I think I'm just failing to see what benefit PoW provides to people outside of Bitcoin students.

Perhaps I'm wrong, though.

That's a good question.

Non-bitcoiners are already familiar with "Boosting" or "promoting" a twitter or FB post. They can see Boost POW in a similar way.

For 1:1 messages.... Boost will serve more as a spam filter I think.
