Ehhh... I like cryptocurrencies as much as the next guy but this feels like an attempt to shoehorn something into cryptocurrency "because blockchain". As far as I can see, ordering of messages is not protected at all without using the method that provides forward secrecy. Deniability is non-existent with this scheme. Every person you've ever sent a text to is saved accessible to everyone forever. It looks like messages aren't even padded at all other than just up to the 32 byte block.
As far as the claim that it's somehow censorship proof, there's absolutely nothing at all here to prevent an adversary from identifying and blocking messages. It's a Bitcoin Cash transaction, but it's not magic. If Eve is in a position to block a message from Alice to Bob, Eve is also in a position to block a transaction from Alice to a miner.
Also that Satoshi Nakamoto conversation is farcical to say the least. I honestly don't see a single advantage to this over existing solutions.
