Just use Status: https://status.im/private-messenger/

Mozilla Public License - E2E Encryption - P2P Messaging - Active community & git repo - Integrated Ethereum wallet for Web3 access

The integrated ethereum wallet is a red flag for me.

Many persons that are interested in decentralized messaging are also interested in cryptocurrency, but not all are.

If someone wishes to use the app only as a messenger, the wallet will neither add to nor take away from their experience, i.e. use of the wallet is entirely optional.

I'm a developer at Status, and am on the team responsible for the Status Desktop client[+] (currently in beta), feel free to ask me anything.
