Since you keep repeating this over and over, and I already showed you how much I respected what you posted so far (but not those last posts), I believe the server this forum is hosted doesn't have enough hard disk space to host all the links I can paste here, in order to show you what happens when the code of a feature that there's a race (due to competition and not with a good intensions I'm afraid) going on.
Even you must have seen that users from coins that I helped overcome FUD have accused me of stealing their code (just an example).
Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you. Honestly! But please think of the following scenario.
You are just spending some minutes to paste this link, while devs are spending countless hours of their life to implement a feature that known "cloners" will decimate in a matter of seconds. Can you tell me why am I supposed to follow this example?
Even in here, those who have the skills to understand a bit more than a normal user, rushed into posting their conclusions without even knowing exactly what their conclusions are based on. And those are the reviews that are supposed to be accurate and trustful? Without even asking for further details or try to describe how they picture it in their mind and confirm it? Are those "reviews" really reviews? Based on what facts?
Can you also show me one application (just one, I'm not asking for much, am I? ) that works without bugs, 24/7 and does all the thinks that it's supposed to, without any problems whatsoever?
Either closed sourced or open sourced, just name one!
Mindfox hello,
what is the problem if some cloners clone your solution? Many altcoins cloned bitcoin but bitcoin is still here and it is very much alive. I would take this as an compliment if someone would copy some code from me.
I think that the open and transparent development can prevent such (KeyCoin) "fiascos" from happening. If the source code is freely available, if the concept details are known then the community has a chance to reject solutions that don't work.
And now - in the case of keycoin - we have a situation where devs have probably made some mistakes and they also used the wrong concept (coin mixing doesn't work well in this settings). If they used some more open and transparent approach - like revealing their plans, whitepapers, source code etc. to the community - the community at least has a chance to say: "Look, this is not gonna work, you really should change it".
But if the development is secret and non-transparent, then the developers may come up with the solution that doesn't work at all. And then they are shocked and nervous when someone posts something about non-working anonymity.
And no, no application is working without bugs. The question is how these issues are managed.
