Noob Question:

What means "secure Messaging" exactly? Can it be used like email/Whats app?


secure message = encrypted message. I think the encryption will be optional. It should be kept in mind that sending NEM secure messages are costly (to avoid blockchain spam), so it is more oriented toward keeping important document, texts securely on the blockchain.

Will there be fee on sending message and how much? I heard that in NXT two people can just ping pong 1 NXT with message, when they have communication. Did I misunderstood?

P.S. I hoped I can have chat with other Nemsters without CIA, NSA, etc.

If that is true the the size of NXT blockchain will get pass Bitcoin one in maybe 3 months. Let's think about 100 pair of of botnet computer ping pong each other maximum messages all night long. Don't let desire overwhelm reason.

Nxt will support blockchain pruning. Not sure of ETA, as Asset Exchange and Automated Transactions are coming first.

NXT blockchain pruning does not even have the concept yet. It won't be easy as some claims to be. If blockchain pruning can be done at will, why do bitcoin not have one already ? So I would say do that first before attempting ping pong messaging.
