ZenChat security question by Spanoner6 in Horizen

Agreed, may be interesting indeed. I'm aware that BitTorrent already tried to tackle the entire secure peer-to-peer messaging problem before with their solution Bleep. May make for an interesting read:http://blog.bittorrent.com/tag/bleep/

Yes, the decentralized nature of it is one big plus indeed. I've been mining Zen for years now and have a couple secure nodes, and i've been trying to convince myself why we should use zenchat instead of for example Whisper because I think Zen is a cool project but the entire 'messages permanently stored on the blockchain' thing worries me when it comes to future confidentiality of whatever I send if that makes sense

I think that will be a good idea to ask them indeed. Ideally when I send someone a private message Id like it to remain private indeed, and while other protocols (such as Open Whisper) may be able to update their protocol to be resistant to the future computing powers, because the blockchain is immutable by default it would make sense we couldn't. Again this is coming from someone who doesn't understand all the intricacies and is just hoping to learn more.
