ProtonMail - free ENCRYPTED email address based in Switzerland (CRYPTO)

### Free Encrypted Email Address
You're interested in Crypto and you don't want anyone hacking into & stealing your very important information. You shouldn't be storing information locally, so what's the answer ? encrypted email. yes you can have an encrypted account from some of the *usual suspects* but can you be sure their encryption keys are totally secure ? or do you want something exclusively for your *crypto comms*. How does encryption for email work? read on

See the handy info-graphic below from *Protonmail* for services / prices. I've had a *protonmail* account for a while now and it's probably the best email account I've ever had, which is why I'm recommending it. There's nothing in it for me, no referral link or bounty, I just think that it's information the steemit community should know about and will probably find a useful asset in the *great crypto quest*.

### Based in Switzerland
Not under the jurisdiction of the USA or EU. You can be sure the Swiss, known for their discreet services will keep your data secure. You can have a free account or you can have a paid for account. For a zero fee (for a basic but fully functional account) you can take advantage of possibly the most stringent privacy rules anywhere in the world.

![proton3.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNmkQay4S6iX63Hg8jLeyZYk2F6PAobfXxytSuaUCWBBg/proton3.jpg)

They are very generous and keep a blog with all kinds of interesting articles. You can pay for their additional services in bitcoin if you wish. Their free account is very good value indeed and for a modest fee you could replace a domain based service entirely.

### Technical Details
If you want to get deep into the technical details of what tech they use, rather than me (badly) paraphrasing it here, I'll just give you the link. [PROTON MAIL SECURITY](https://protonmail.com/security-details)

### Want to Communicate Securely Across Platforms
ProtonMail will take care of secure communication across a range of email platforms so you don't need to worry about sending your email to a weak link in the chain.

Swiss chocolate isn't too bad either. Have you ever been skiing to Verbier ? They have some top quality mountains in the Swiss Alps as pictured above and we skied four valleys in one day.. in fact here's a bonus link to a film on vimeo all about it

my pleasure @quattrophoto it's a very neat service and often when ICO registration fails with domain based email addresses, they always accept protonmail !!

I actually don't have a need for encryption of my email since the majority of it is spam and revenue offers.

lmao - @tonygreene113 !!  the irony is that it's spam filters are really quite good.. but then you'd end up not having anything to look through at all.. (my regular email address is the same.. it is over 15 years old though ! and probably on a zillion junk lists)  hence the use of protonmail for other, more important things :)
