Coindesk firm announced that the Encrypted Email Service that was launched ''Blockstack'' carries Bitcoin features. In addition an encrypted email service that uses Blockstack IDs is hoping to make online privacy tools more accessible, especially in the Middle East.

According to Intelli Coders CEO Mohamed Abdou, since going live on Saturday, 151 emails have been sent between Dmail’s 600 users. Before its launching on June 1, 500 people from Saudi Arabia to India tested the service.

Abdou explained that the ability to receive or send bitcoin directly to the Blockstack ID’s external cryptocurrency wallet could become a key feature in attracting users to this messaging service.

The Service aims at overcoming limited access to cryptocurrency exchanges in the Middle East.

Noteworthy, Dmail uses Blockstack decentralized identities ''DIDs'', which can be linked to GitHub and social profiles, as well as cryptocurrency addresses, in a way that the user controls.
