therefore my messaging app that discards all messages on any attempt to send is the best

if you wrote an app and it's running that means that the user's inputted message is stored as plaintext in a buffer before being discarded, not secure

Without the ccv code isn't it useless?

Nope, I once entered in the wrong ccv for an online purchase and it went through just fine. It was also with my Cap it alOne card which usually is pretty good about inconveniencing alerting me when anything even slightly weird happens.
