blockchain

Read the original Bitcoin paper, it should take no more than two hours even if you're not technical; http://genius.com/Satoshi-nakamoto-bitcoin-a-peer-to-peer-el..., once you understand what a blockchain does you'll probably want to know more about smart contracts http://about.smartcontract.com/#defining-a-smart-contract, since their decentralized data/transaction storage capabilities enable the decentralized computation which has the capacity to replace 90%+ of computable contracts (http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GAC15_Technological_Tipping...) which are currently in silos, much like what we had with various data before the internet

Hi, glad you like it :)

We are looking into open sourcing this, it is built on a really cool messaging feature in NXT that has recently received it's own standardized encryption at the protocol level, which makes things a lot easier; https://bitbucket.org/JeanLucPicard/nxt/commits/all

We actually don't do currency creation; we just give you 50 NXT (testnet NXT for the beta) and then you send those with their attached message which is encrypted. If you want more messages you just need more NXT which we allow the easy purchase of via BTC or at some point soon fiat.

We don't collect any user data; all the data is in the NXT blockchain, this is a secure web-layer to interact with that blockchain for it's encrypted messaging functionality. Coin validation is its own large problem regardless of the web-layer that entered the message.

Yes, NXT messages do not expire at the moment, though this feature is being considered; this is indeed a problem with blockchain based messaging that is difficult to solve well at the protocol level. Once you start making certain transaction types expire then where does that slippery slope stop?

This product has now been rolled into http://www.secureae.com/'s https://trade.secureae.com/ messaging feature to securely message any Smart Contract owners account directly using NXT's new standardized message encryption. More secure messaging is great but Smart Contracts are clearly the future!!!

If you'd like to know more about how to apply the NXT messaging feature feel free to reach out to us: info [at] secureae [dot] com

Really great, this will change the way stakeholders reach actionable agreement around a store of economic value like a decentralized asset, in both a public and secure way. Great work!
