I follow and admire Telegram project since their first release. If you haven't already heard about Telegram, it is a messaging platform with tons of useful privacy and security features, and offered completely for free. Telegram project still misses some key features such as an open source codebase and organization level Github repository, to gain my full adoption, but I trust their guarantee for making the source code open in the future.

WhatsApp now has a user base of more than one billion, but Telegram is quickly catching up. In February 2016 Telegram claimed over 350,000 users signed up every day, on top of the existing 100 million daily active users.

Telegram faces a lot of criticism for not being fully encrypted by default. But they were the first mass-market messaging app to offer any encryption, and as such were often referred to as the “encrypted chat app” in the media. It’s a nickname that seems to have stuck, and one that might have even contributed to the endorsements garnered from groups such as the notorious terrorist group, ISIS.

Why I don’t recommend Signal to my friends
I have two main gripes with Signal:

First, it’s only on mobile. I want something on desktop too, because I don’t see a reason to awkwardly type on a smartphone if I’m in front of a PC anyway (which I am most of the time). They do have a kind of desktop client they’re working on, but it’s a Chrome app and connects with your Android phone. I want something I can use to communicate even without my phone, not to mention a solution which doesn’t lock me into a specific browser. Update 2017-04-26: You don’t need Chrome running in order to use it. Still, I’d still like not to be forced to install software I’m not using.

Second, Signal’s SMS/web identity crisis is not particularly user friendly. “Hey, why isn’t my secure SMS delivered”, I hear the potential users yelling before heading back to the warm embrace of Facebook Messenger. The question of an SMS fallback has been discussed several times on the Signal issue tracker; see #3220 and referenced issues for more information on why we won’t see it.

The app description sounds very promising. Would definitely pay for the messenger that can fully provide me confidence that my personal data is under total control and security. Unfortunately, I already faced not the best experience of using other messenger apps like Viber for example and I got hacked a lot of times there. Hope this one is not gonna let me down.
My accounts have been hacked several times, therefore I am looking for reliable messenger, this product seems to be the right one.

Security and privacy are very precious nowadays when it comes to the internet. That's why I need this device.

What is the approximate price of the device? Will it be a budget device or not?

I care a lot about safety of my data and contacts, seems like this messenger is a very useful tool.

I was always curious about ATB coin and started gathering information on it, afterwards decided to try. ATB Coin Network appeals to me by instant payments and low costs. I do not worry about privacy and security of my transactions.
