If it is not just some half baked new shitcoin or scam, and a real business, get an attorney.

So I'd like to know how to handle a new idea. You see I have an idea of a coin that will not aim to take any market cap away from bitcoin only to serve the people investing in bitcoin. I dint want to end up telling my idea to someone to steel it. So how to avoid that? Also when you strike a deal with a dev or person how do you keep the confidence your not going to shit on reach other?

This can only be done with a real company and real contracts/confidentiality agreement,.


And you need register your idee as patent. Large companies also do this with new products and software concepts.

You could start by putting your idea to a document, take a cryptographic hash of that document and put that on a/the blockchain.
If you publish that hash somewhere public you'd at least have proof that you came up with it first.

[they do that here https://www.proofofexistence.com/]

One could never be sure an idea is not stolen apart from not sharing the idea in the first place.
For all the other cases I guess you should build at least some trust with the developer, no way around that.

Get their personal info - have them sign a confidentiality agreement, meet with them face to face via skype, document that you shared the idea either recording the conversation through skype or by summarizing the conversation in a followup email. Others may have more ideas. Due to the nature of this forum, not sure you would know if they used a new account. Best to deal with well known people of strong reputation.
