What is the target market? I mentally treat all messages as insecure, and no self-proclaimed secure system would change my thoughts.

You can set up your own private XMPP server and use gibberbot, beem or yaxim on android (or any other XMPP client on the platform of your choice). This is the only way to ensure that your communication is really private.

That's actually why I haven't built it yet. I think it should be done, but I'm not sure who would actually care enough to use it.

What would change your thoughts regarding a secure messaging system? Open source?
