Can I contribute here?
I've always been a fan of bumping the thread
Please do!
I am jumping back and forth between the forums anyway.
PS Bumping
this thread will soon have to stop once the new thread arrives.
Having read through the posts so far, it all sounds good.
I wouldn't worry about Mr.Spread MIA in the new ANN OP. Community take over projects are a pretty good sign anyway. Bitcoins creator went AWOL, no harm there. Litecoin's creator didn't go AWOL, and plenty of harm there.
Most of the links and text in the current ANN seem to do the job. The links to the .net are the main issue.

....but it can only be secure if it operates entirely within the app
I agree, all services must not only be decentralized but also completely secured by the blockchain.
But that doesn't mean that all information and traffic generated by a service must be put into the blockchain.
In the contrary, thanks to hashing algorithms and signatures we could have sidechains that only need to be synchronized with the main blockchain "on a regular basis" to count as "sufficiently secured".

ServiceNodes give us our own network sidechains
