I don't see how to set up a Monero wallet that accepts GBP; I sent you money using a payment from my credit card (which I paid off).

It sounds, though, like what you're saying is "this technology is too new and unreliable for people not yet willing to dive in fully", which in turn makes it completely unsuitable for sending money to pay for e-mail delivery. I have to commit to replacing my existing financial management (which I'm happy with) with a new technology I don't fully understand or trust, replace my existing private mail server (which I'm happy with) with a new one that I don't fully understand or trust, and do so for questionable benefits (since the assertions around what's going to work in the new system are at odds with the history of Prestel and of SMS).
