Hello,
I want some opinions from developers and coders about adding a bitcoin feature to Open Whisper Systems.
I feel that using Open Whisper(or something very similar) as a starting point is a good idea because it is open source and very nicely built. Edward Snowden has even endorsed it for its security features.
Bitcoin should serve as a paywall for messaging and phone calls(possible video chat in the future) between users...very similar to the approach Composed (getcomposed.com) used for email. I think adding this feature to a secure communication platform will allow for a very interesting dynamic to take hold.
The beauty of bitcoin is that people can choose to charge as little as 1 penny or $100(or more) to chat or receive messages. This idea could only work because of the features bitcoin provides. Initially I think this would be ideal for people looking to get professional advice, counseling, and consulting.
I want to know what it would cost me to have this built.
