RE: Decentralized messengers with client-to-client encryption: Babelnet
Encrypted messaging in itself is not so complicated. It becomes complicated if you need to sustain high volumes (Think Viber, Whatsapp, Facebook messenger) and then you need really crack engineers who are able to optimize at all levels and the best products the market can offer
A server-based "star haped" or "hub and spoke" network is vulnerable to the central server being down or DDos-ed or hacked.
For corporate settings where the need for performance is moderate, what sells is not as much the product as the ability of the sales organisation
Heck, if I had good sales people I could sell an encrypted-messaging service based on the steem blockchain !

Yeah, I realized encrypted communication services might be a bit above my "pay grade".
But basically I just wanted to bring up some examples, post a few brief articles. So far it looks like a niche where a serious actor could step in and probably be very successful, I believe normal people want to find a safer alternative, they don't know who to trust or where to turn, so they continue with their current less safe alternative...
Encrypted-messaging service based on the steem blockchain, sound like an interesting project.
Thanks a lot for your input @sorin.cristecu, it's always appreciated!!!
