Unseen.is - is "weird" to people?  What's so weird?  I've used it almost 
since they moved to Iceland (though mostly not a Tor acct).
Never had a soul comment on the domain in the least.  Not sure about 
Sigiant - how do they pronounce it?  Is it See-zjant or see-gant or 
see-ji'-unt?

They do?  If they demand SMS, how does it remain anonymous, unless you 
buy a burner phone (don't even know how those work, anymore)?
"they will accept bitcoin or even cash payments to allow users to remain 
anonymous."

Used to, you could submit request to riseup - stating why you wanted to 
use it.  It's been suggested, don't get to get too radical / political 
in your statements, but I don't know.

The website www.thesimplecomputer.info ran a long list of "alternative" 
email providers, but I don't see it on the site.
I did an update on that list, which I posted here, then "Simple 
Computer" did some more updating after we spoke.

He wrote about Riseup.net (a while back, so may have changed):
