A Review Of Sense.Chat- A Provably Secure Video Messenger & Wallet

The importance of communication cannot be overemphasized in human existence, it has played important roles in the activities of humans most especially commerce. Communication has been found to enhance all forms of business activities because it forms the bedrock of buying and selling. The discovery of the internet took communication to another level where meaningful information, feelings, opinions facts, and ideas could be transferred from one person to another with just a click of a button. Today, the world we live in has become a global village, Cisco( a computer networking company) estimates that by 2020, there would be about 50 billion things (people, objects, animals connected to the internet and with each other. source This postulation is already coming to pass as we already have different messaging apps that connect humans together. Messaging Apps likes of Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, Skype are already in great use on a daily basis with fantastic features allowing users the luxury of video calling, SMS/MMS integration, sending of audio files, videos, and even picture transfers. Indeed one would agree to the convenience of conveying thoughts and messages when using these applications. Sadly, the use of these apps have some downsides, some messaging apps are being regulated in some geographical locations because of strict policies formulated by the government in that region. We-chat app ( a popular app used in China ) was literally forced down the throats of China citizens because of the ban of Whatsapp and some other similar Apps. There have even been reports of censorship of certain conversations on the We-chat app because of the centralized nature of the app It is a truism that everybody would love to have a private conversation devoid of third parties, one should be able to send a message without fear of third parties eavesdropping or intercepting such messages. Sadly with the traditional chats, this is far-fetched as the chats are not secured and could be monitored by authorities or the companies in charge. There have also been myriads of other problems with regards to the regular messaging apps too which users have not really bothered themselves about because there was no available substitute to switch to. But guess what ? the story has changed because there is a brand new substitute in town that would revolutionize the messaging ecosystem !!! INTRODUCING THE GAME CHANGER- SENSE CHAT Sense chat, a prospective game changer with so many innovations have revolutionized the messaging ecosystem by incorporating three major features to the messaging world that were previously absent. • Privacy • High profiled security • Decentralized PRIVACY Users using the app would not have to worry about the state of their privacy again unlike before. Taking Facebook messenger as a case study, the app was programmed in such a way it can read your location, even read contents of files and downloaded files without notifying you and even read calendar events including confidential information on your devices. This information gotten could be hacked or even used for blackmail. Using the sense. chat app, does not put you in any form of compromise or risk. SECURITY. Security is always a major concern for users, just as sense.chat app would not collect your data for keeps. There is an end-to-end encryption fingerprint /PIN input needed before having access to your messages which adds an additional layer of protection to your sensitive transactions and correspondences. DECENTRALIZED. This is the beauty of the blockchain. Sense.chat is a decentralized messenger that would disrupt the status quo seen traditionally centralized messengers. Using the app would keep you less worried about government policies with regards to messaging apps in your geographical location because they can never have access to your messages or dictate who you should communicate with. In recent times, there has been a ban on messenger Apps like WhatsApp, skype, telegram, etc in a number of countries in the world. Think about the state of e-commerce in those countries!!! In addition to these innovations sense.chat has in place, imagine a scenario where you could send funds to another user during a chat and the user receives the funds in real time? Isn’t that amazing? Oh yes, this is possible with sense.chat a decentralized messenger app with a peer to peer model and an inbuilt wallet on the EOS blockchain. GREAT FEATURES FOUND IN THE SENSE.CHAT APP A cursory look at the app would reveal the app to be a messaging app, a social network, and a business platform. MESSAGING This is quite similar to the regular apps like WhatsApp, telegram, etc where users add others via their phone numbers or usernames, but in the case of sense.chat, a user would need to search for another user’s Eos public key that has been registered on the app to be able to connect with ease. During a private conversation with the user, there could be an exchange of text messages, video calls, emojis, etc. There is also a provision to send sense tokens or EOS tokens with a 256 character to input the memo for the transaction. SOCIAL NETWORK / PUBLIC CHANNELS. At the time of writing this article, there are three public channels on the app. #SENSE A channel where users can interact and share their contents for others to peruse or subscribe to. #SENSESUPPORT Support channels are very important to help users with challenges pertaining to app use. On sense chat, The #sensesupport channel is open for interaction. #HELLOWORLD This is another channel found on the app. FINANCE/BUSINESS PLATFORM. With the aid of the Eos blockchain, sense. chat could create a secured platform for users, developers to have a secured market for the exchange of goods and service on the Eos ecosystem. Sense.chat could help Content creators/ bloggers monetize their contents by helping them reach their targeted audience with a better room for interactions and feedback, dapps could reach their desired targets/ potential investors via the sense.chat. The inbuilt mechanism where funds could be sent instantly to other users is another beautiful example to cite. Since the transactions are on the Eos chain, sender and receiver incur no additional fees and there is room to video call to confirm the authenticity of the receiver before funds are finally sent. PROSPECTIVE MARKET FOR SENSE. With the gradual adoption of the blockchain and the scalable nature of the EOS blockchain, sense.chat would have a great market. EOS has an average active daily user of about 6,000 in most dapps, this is already a sizable market for sense.chat to thrive. With a market cap of $3,462,848.70, there are already 333,168,393 SENSE tokens in circulation when compared with a total supply of 2,000,000,000 SENSE tokens. sense. chat would have great prospects in the crypto market as when people get to embrace the crypto gospel.     TEAM The Team behind the sense.chat app has been in the game for quite a while, Crystal Rose who doubles as the Co-Founder and CEO has a good history with workable projects. She is also a founder of @shEOS_org ( a block producer for EOS), Hype ( a social media network), and unicorn VC. In addition, she is also an advisor for other working projects like Markett, Guardian Circle, Cheers+, Onvi, Troopwork. Another person worthy of mention is Ariel Jalali, he is the Chief Strategy Officer of sense.chat, also a co-founder and CEO of sense.chat There are other key team players who are advisors and developers, attorneys, etc.       FINAL THOUGHTS AND POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS. As a user of the sense. chat, after my experience on the app I would love to give the following feedback based on my judgment. MY ASSESSMENT/APPRAISAL OF SENSE.CHAT Business Idea    8 Growth Potential   7.5 Usability/Ease of Use    7 Security    8 Feasibility   9                                   OVERALL SCORE          7.9   Sense chat has great potentials to the Eos ecosystem and the crypto sphere at large because of the special design of the app in terms of privacy, security, and decentralization. Because feedbacks are very important in every form of business, as a potential future user, I would love to see the following in the next upgrade. A provision for status updates just like that of WhatsApp where users can post important tips relating to their crypto niche for visibility to their circle of connected friends. These content creators could be lucky to get rewarded by their friends in the form of gifts if the contents are useful. A rewarding system that can be used to tip such content creators for their little efforts to educate and inform the circle of friends. An avenue to transfer other tokens apart from sense token and EOS tokens within the EOS community and a possibility of other crypto tokens transfer eg BTC, ETH or STEEM at a minimal fee to cover for the transaction cost. A better and irresistible graphic user interphase that would get its users to stay addicted to the app and have easy with navigation around the app. A more functional support service on the app that would attend to the basic problems users face on a day to day basis USE CASE. Let’s imagine a user @gabcb12da23 comes across an interesting article posted in one of the channels on sense.chat, he picks interest in this article and decided to read up the article published on the trybe.one platform. After reading the beautiful article, he feels obliged to give an extra tip in addition to the tokens earned by the content creator on trybe.one. This happy reader could go into an encrypted chat with the author of the article and gift some sense tokens as a form of appreciation/incentive to spur the author to produce more good contents just like that. This feature could also be applicable in the ‘status-like update’ I recommended earlier where friends could tip a good update made by the great content creator. It might take a little while to achieve all this, but with awareness, we can all put hands on deck to help to make sense.chat the talk of the town. If you want to hook me up on sense.chat to test all that I have described earlier, you can chat me up with @antigenxsen.
