You don't need to make transfers to use the memo.encode function. Meaning you only need your private memo key to start messaging with this application. Transfers will not be supported as steem messenger don't use your active authority.
Thank you for your comment !
Ah - I understand. So it will work similar to steem.chat just with encoded messages? I like it!
Exactly ! Thanks for your support :) Feel free to contact me on discord if you want to contribute to this project !
