Encrypted messaging already possible
Asset Exchange possible ( afaik the only one that has asset to asset trading pairs)
decentralized applications possible
Possible means it exists right now, or could exist sometime in the future? Is someone working on them if they don't exist?
exists right now and can be already used!
OK, updated. Could you provide some links to examples of the decentralized apps? That's not something I've heard of in the context of the NXT family.
First of all Qora is not part of the Nxt family . Nxt is really awesome, but it has nothing to do with Qora, Qora is completly written from scratch and is no clone or sibling of Nxt.
Regarding decentralized applications:
We introduced NameStorage in the last release which e.g. allows users to create interactive websites of arbitrary length on the blockchain. Through api (and that way through any blockchain website) you can write and read arbitrary data to the blockchain and use this as data storage for any application. If you combine this with automated transactions you have the possibility to create an own decentralized interactive crowdfunding website or make e.g. an own interface for ACCT! These are just examples the possibilities are endless.
Currently this is a little cumbersome, the next release will make this even easier and will also have some nice examples build by us.
I have already created an own send money panel, which is completly decentralized (so if someone copies the code of the website to his own website this will work too!).
That panel can be seen here and will be available in next version:
