I think they can just clone it when crypti source code is released. But hey, imitation is the ultimate form of flattery.
I don't think Node devs are gonna clone anything. They might use some ideas (or might not), but they're not kind of people who steal someone's code.
I'm watching both projects
Technically, the Node wins.
Crypti big and heavy client, takes a lot of memory
Node fast, small blockchain
How Node can steal code if no published source?
Node works quite differently, there is no empty blocks, fast confirmation
I believe in Cripty, but technically they are behind the Node
Let me start off by saying I don't dislike the Node team nor do I wish them ill will. I hope we can both be extremely successful in our own niches of this industry. It's obvious we are taking slightly different approaches and have very different long term goals.
With that being said, let's examine your misunderstanding of the two projects and clarify.
Node has a fast and small blockchain because it doesn't do any calculations. It's randomly assigning blocks to forgers right now. Their Proof of Activity system isn't implemented yet so they don't have the same kind of data to store. When we released our first test client before the official launch, it was insanely small. Wait 4 months until they figure out PoA and see where it's at. Then we can judge it better.
Second, in a system that rewards users with transaction fees for forging blocks, empty blocks are bad. We have empty blocks too because we are still in the early stages and haven't released custom chains and merchant support which will change our activity quite a bit. We don't want empty blocks.
The point is, wasting time designing a system to eliminate zero blocks from our blockchain is counter intuitive. Instead we will focus our time on ensuring people are getting something from their forged blocks.
Our goal is to get to a point where there won't ever be a block with nothing in it, so all blocks would be forged and added to the blockchain anyways. Why program our code to assume no one will use our network?
Also, their confirmation time works exactly the same as ours. The block isn't actually confirmed by the network until the 60 second point in both systems. They are just creatively explaining how confirmations work in a crypto currency.
As to your third point, I never said they stole our source code. I don't care if they do steal our source code. I said taking credit for a system someone else designed and already implemented into a coin that already exists is dishonest and unprofessional.
What they are doing would be the equivalent of me programming a search engine from scratch that was half as good as Google and then claiming I came up with the idea for a search engine and no one had ever thought of it before. It's ridiculously disrespectful. We put a lot of time and thought into designing this system (I personally worked on it for months).
How can you say we are behind node when they are basically a tech demo at this point? The client they currently have is where we were at before we even wrote our announcement thread. None of their listed features have been implemented in the actual code yet.
