  1. prepayment of accounts

    Folks...a couple of things wrt renewal payments
    (1) I wanted to prepay for my account and you don't seem to have that as an option.
    (2) I also wanted to change my method of payment to BTC...that also does not appear as an option.

  2. Gulden payment

    Gulden is a crypto currency designed for payment.

    Gulden in its current state has the ability to handle 40 transactions per second, but can easily be scaled as needed.

    Gulden on the other hand uses an average transaction fee of NLG 0.01 (€ 0.0020 +/-) irrespectively of the traffic on the Gulden network.

    Gulden payments take now around 15 minutes but it will be reduced to 150 seconds (with the Prime I update of the network).

    Nocks.com allows merchants to directly convert a payment into Gulden in Euro at the current market price.

    The merchant is no longer subject to…

  3. Decred Payment Option

    Hi everyone! I would like to suggest having a payment option for Decred, (one of the most legitimate cryptocurrencies in my opinion). I believe this reddit post makes the case for Decred better than I can:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/decred/comments/6wxueo/your_best_pitch_for_decred/

    This is a strong community, with one of the best development teams leading the way.

    Thank you!

  5. No 1-Click Purchase and Save My Preferred Currency

    My greatest disappointment in the past year has been payment:

    (1) No 1-click purchase, please:
    There should be a confirmation button to make payment, instead of a 1-click purchase button that doesn't warn me that it's a 1-click purchase button.

    (2) Set default payment currency:
    I prefer to pay in USD, but when I extended my subscription during this last Black Friday, the payment menu just automatically changed to EUR. My Settings page was definitely NOT set to EUR, and without my realization, the subscription was charged in EUR (which was way more expensive than CHF and USD) and, because…

  6. Bitcoin Segwit address

    Display Bitcoin Segwit address on your donation page so that people paying you donations will incur less transaction fees. This can be displayed alongside current Bitcoin address.

  7. Anonymous payment method

    As noted by previous poster(s), anonymity doesn't work if using a valid credit card or paypal. There are payment services which accept gift cards and they process them as cash. This way the gift cards can be purchased closer to anonymous. (Nothing is "absolutely" anonymous, but credit cards are certainly not anonymous.)

  8. Pivx coin payment

    PIVX ( Private Instant Verified Transaction ) is a cryptocurrency that prioritizes privacy and decentralized governance. As of 10/16/2017 they will have implemented the Zerocoin protocol to anonymize transactions. The mission ( and the color scheme of purple ) of Pivx and Protonmail align and I'd love to see Proton mail implement a PIVX payment option. For more information on Pivx, please visit pivx.org.

  10. Bitcoin Cash Payment Option!

    Bitcoin transactions fees are now too much, and it may take up to a few hours for a transaction to be confirmed. There's a payment system, which is nearly same of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash. Its devs have a better vision "low fees, 1 block (10 minutes) transaction confirm time." If you haven't heard of it, here (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/58969/38618) you can see that many wallets support it.

    Kind regards.

  11. Litecoin Payment

    Please accept Litecoin as a payment method for premium accounts and donations. While Bitcoin is a great investment asset, for normal low level payments below multiple-thousand level, Litecoin is much better. Bitcoin transaction fees are already around $5. Currently Litecoin fees are around $0.05 or 5 cents. Even the advent of lightning networks on Bitcoin will not make Bitcoin cheaper since Litecoin will also have Lightning network payments and channel costs will be 100x more expensive on Bitcoin.

  12. Payments over Google Play |Fast|EASY|ADVANCED|SECURE

    Yo! So.. The most of Mobile Phone users are Android Users, right? Also Protonmail does require Google Play to run, right? So why shouldn't we pay our bills ( Plans, extra features like storage etc.. ) with the integrated Google Play Payments? It is fast,easy,advanced and secure. If you wanna Pay with PayPal because you don't have a credit card? No Problem! Pay with Bank or Paypal Funds. Or if you neither have a Bank account ( PayPal as example ) or you want to stay more Anonymous, why shouldn't you pay with Google Play Credit? So you can simply…

  13. Local currencies with country-based pricing

    It costs the average Russian nearly two day's wages to pay for ProtonMail Visionary. It costs the average German just over two hours.

    Average wages vary drastically throughout the world, which is why large international companies like Spotify accomodate poorer nations. The same Spotify premium plan is equiv to USD 18.42 in Denmark compared to USD 4.50 in Argentina. This opens up their market to a global audience who would otherwise be unable to afford their service.

    So what can we do to prevent someone in Switzerland paying for ProtonMail in Mexican Pesos?

    Global issuer identification numbers: the first six…

  14. Altcoins payment

    Please accept altcoins payments, not only Bitcoins, which is losing momentum.

    You could integrate with BitPay, CoinPayments or ShapeShift.io

    This would be convienent and possibly a move towards privacy since many altcoins are geared towards anonymous transactions (Monero, Zcash, Zcoin, Dash, etc)

  15. Top up account balance

    The ability to "top up" one's account balance by adding funds in advance. This prevents any delays in payment preventing any lapses in service. An example that uses this feature is Name Cheap.

    iDEAL is the most popular online payment system in the Netherlands (NL):

    Please consider adding support for this method for Donation, like Wikipedia has already done.

  20. Support e-bills (e-bill.ch) for easy payments

    Would make it easier to pay from a PostFinance account, for example. I don't have a credit or debit card, and need to transfer money to PayPal. I realise this is only useful for few people in Switzerland though.
