How to make a perfect messenger? I am developing a new one, what features should it have?

Skype already exists. Then you have Viber, Snapchat and Android/Apple SMS.
There's really no need for that.

A button where you can buy ether

I think the main problem with messengers that try to dominate the market is that they end up becoming a massive clusterfuck of features.
Try penetrate one, then fuck over your users with the rest later on.
Skype without the file uploading feature. I'd kill for something to replace Skype. It seems to be the only VoIP that has great contact through user-made calls as personal servers, decent-ish video, and the audio simply can't be beat by its competitors when it comes to hands-free voice (not using push-to-talk). You make something that can replace that and I'll let your shitty little ad money be made on my PC.

THIS! ABSOLUTELY THIS!
It should have the ability to be linked to a credit card and have a button for instant purchase of ETH. It should also have the ability to send and receive ETH between people.

Build it as an Ethereum dApp, centralization in online communication is bad.
>>1090315
make it simple and minimal
>>1090315
its gotta run on mobile well
it cant be a battery hog
it cant be sluggish or feel clunky
its gotta be cross platform
telegram is pretty good except it has no video and voice
discord is almost perfect except it has no video and a proper GUI
Okay OP I'm going to help you but please donate me some bitcoins because I want to a pack of smokes.
>make it so that people can create usernames, much like kik
>make it slick in UI so that people actually want to use it
>make it requre a passcode to enter, and have the option for the user to set "dummy" PINs so that if they are asked to give the PIN, only certain, pre-picked convos will be seen
>make sure everything is encrypted securely, and so that it can only be encrypted/decrypted using one specific device AND PIN.
>make sure to have your servers in Panama
>integrate a bitcoin wallet feature inside so that people can buy and sell weed directly through that app.
>include in-app VPN settings as well
>make it so that you get a notification if your buddy screenshots the conversation
>make it so that users can set certain people's conversations to auto-delete after x hours upon reading

group encrypted chat with timed auto-deletion of messages.
Telegram only does it for 1 on 1 conversations, so does Line. There's a feature you don't have elsewhere.

Ok, I'll donate you when finished.

Skype sucks horribly specially on mobile

This guy has all of the right ideas.
A simple, sleek, pleasant-to-use chat client that emphasized privacy and security would be GOAT.
The logical next step is doing it through blockchain. Decentralize it somewhow.
Honestly the best bet would be to use Ethereal. I'm not even meming.

...there is an idea of a Maco Rubio, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and we can all agree we need to dispel this fiction that Brack Obamam knows what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. And you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there
