I am worried about it being a "blockchain based messenger" which by definition means that all messages are stored forever and are also publicly available just waiting for the day, its encryption can be broken.

The privacy policy also doesn't reassure me, I am not going to register an account without seeing it.

Q: Does BCM have a privacy policy?

You can view our detailed Privacy Policy when registering for a BCM account.

Q: Will BCM open source?

BCM is planning to open source, and we will gradually disclose source code of BCM to the public.

Please request reopening after at least these two issues are fixed, Telegram has also been promising open sourcing their server for years.
