+TtT Swarm Proposal

+
+## Summary and Goals
+
+The Tribute to Talk swarm will deliver SNT based anti-spam mechanisms in accordance with the white paper.
+
+It allows individuals to monetize their time and attention by setting minimum required deposits to message them.

+## Communication
+
+`status channel`: #314-tribute-to-talk
+`sync schedule`: weekly, during core chat sync
+
+`Meeting notes`: https://notes.status.im/weekly-chat-sync-agenda
+
+## Research
+
+`Timebox`: wrap by 21/12
+
+`Previous work`:
+An initial version of Tribute to Talk was partially developed and designed back in April/May. 
+
+The existing smart contract documentation is [here](https://github.com/status-im/contracts/blob/096-tribute-to-talk/TributeToTalk.md#deciding-the-outcome-of-a-chat-request). Written by Richard Ramos (@rramos).
+
+The previous designs were shared in these [github issues](https://github.com/orgs/status-im/projects/27).
+
+Ongoing design exploration [available here](https://www.figma.com/file/aS1ct66VQ6V0cio7vSqS8UoG/Chat?node-id=1319%3A13403)
+
+Changes to the smart contract may be required in order to meet specs defined in this swarm.
+
+`Potential user stories for MVP`:
+- As an influential person, I want to set a minimum required deposit to speak with me on Status.
+- I want to review incoming requests from people who have made deposits.
+- I want to read the sender's message before accepting or ignoring their request. 
+- I want to receive payment from the sender when I respond to their request. 
+- I want the option to close the line of communication again afterward.
+- I want the option to waive the deposit and still accept the message.
+--
+- As a fan of some influential person, I want to offer an SNT deposit in order to message that person.
+- I want to be notified when the person has accepted my message and sent a reply.
+- I want to receive my SNT back if the person does not respond to my message.
+
+
+`Research questions`:
+- Is this feature comparable to any other anti-spam mechanisms? Will people understand the concept? What UX references are relevant?
+- What features does the current smart contract support?
+- Do we need to conduct an audit on the contract before launch?
+- Identifiy incompatibilies with other features/issues—e.g. inability to remove contacts once added, overlap with core issues, etc.
