How to stop bitcoin junk mail

The pesky problem of Bitcoin junk mail! Here are some ways to reduce or stop receiving unwanted Bitcoin-related emails and spam:

  1. Unsubscribe from unwanted emails: Look for an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email and click on it. This will usually remove you from the sender's mailing list.
  2. Mark as spam: If there's no unsubscribe link, mark the email as spam. Most email providers have a "Spam" or "Junk" folder where they'll move the email. This helps your email provider's algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as spam.
  3. Report the email: Many email providers, like Gmail, have a "Report spam" button. Clicking this button helps your provider's algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as spam.
  4. Use a spam filter: Enable the spam filter in your email client or provider. This will help automatically move suspicious emails to a "Spam" or "Junk" folder.
  5. Use a disposable email address: Consider using a disposable email address, like 10 Minute Mail or Mailinator, when signing up for services or newsletters. This way, you can avoid receiving unwanted emails on your primary email address.
  6. Be cautious when signing up: When signing up for services or newsletters, be careful not to tick the box that says "Yes, I want to receive promotional emails" or similar. This can lead to unwanted emails.
  7. Use a VPN: Some VPNs, like ExpressVPN, offer built-in ad and tracker blockers, which can help reduce the amount of spam you receive.
  8. Use a browser extension: Browser extensions like uBlock Origin, Ghostery, or NoCoin can help block unwanted ads and trackers, reducing the amount of spam you receive.
  9. Use a Bitcoin-specific email filter: Some email providers, like ProtonMail, offer custom filters for blocking specific types of emails, including Bitcoin-related spam.
  10. Consider using a different email address: If you're receiving a large volume of unwanted emails, consider creating a new email address specifically for Bitcoin-related activities.

Remember, it's essential to be cautious when interacting with online services and to always read the terms and conditions before signing up.
