You actually started first but someone else does it first. do you still launch as competition or quit give up and go back in the closet ?

In the first time, don't explain deep technical about your project, just the outline.
If it's already do, are you sure just sit the closet meanwhile you can do a better project, you have first idea so you should know how to make that better.

You honestly don't have much to worry about unless they have actually made a full product and captured a significant portion of the market share already.
If they've just tried developing, and you still think you could do it, you might as well try and make it better.

Also, TBH, in most cases, ideas aren't worth that much. The implementation usually takes hundreds of man hours, and ideas are everywhere. It's not that nobody thought of "a ride sharing app" or "a dating app" before, and that Uber or Tinder were the first ones there. It's just that they were so much better.

For me. Just let it go, create another idea and from that idea you have just created, you have to protect it. Learn from your mistake and once you've determined you'r free clear to start your business, give your best in it. And just remember ideas don't create success, action does.

Exactly. Good ideas are a dime a dozen. It's the execution that makes all the difference.

Also whatever your idea is, you're most likely not the first one to have said idea. Even Bitcoin was not a wholly new idea when it got started, but it was the first time someone managed to execute the idea so well that it actually took off.

So don't be discouraged by someone else working on the same idea as you. It will happen pretty much all the time. Look at how they did it, and see if there's some lesson that you can take away from it. Look at their project as a prototype of your own idea and try to improve on it.

And especially, don't give up just because someone else did it before you. If it were for that we wouldn't have the cornucopia of alt coins we have today, because hey, cryptocurrencies are already invented, case closed. So go for it. If you'd give up everytime you see someone else doing something similar you'll never get a project out.

Ideas are worth nothing unless transformed into something.I have thousands of them and I wouldnt mind to give you half of them

You should definitely continue onward with your project and strive to be the best out of the competition especially if you know it is a winning idea.

Thank you for all your kind words.. you guys gave me back my confidence and on my feet, I almost pull the trigger  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


implementation , execution , this are important keywords indeed as much as the concept or idea ..

Two options:

1. Move on to another project (make sure you execute it this time).
2. Create the project for the original idea anyways. You see, it's not about the number of times your idea is been executed, but who has the gut and drive to stick with it to make it succeed. Because someone executed your idea doesn't mean they know or have the drive to make it successful.

You do not need a really different idea, you can do something that is old and used by others, but you can improve it, change the things you need to be competitive with first person.

Never give up! If someone else has created a similar project it still doesn't mean that you won't create better one

try make better then him or found other ideas gl is hard make money in this days

Hello! I recently made a purchase at the asic-minerworld store. I liked the quality of goods in it, and polite consultants. Because of this, I want to recommend it to you who are interested, here is the link, see asic-minerworld.com

Depending on kind and stage of your project and if you published already parts of it, you could maybe have natural rights. F.e. someone has written a book or is photo editor , he has in several countries natural rights, if he can proove, that its his work and he was the first creator. Dont know, how it is on digital projects or ideas, but maybe a research would be it for your project, if you already published parts. If you only had an idea, make it like preposters stated, give up or make better as competitors.

^ this is good
if you created sthg better, the stolen project wont be valuable anymore  ;)

Looks like someone take your idea. You know yes an idea is just an idea. The important is the execution of that plan.

Now what to do if someone else gets your idea? Try to make it more better. Enhanced it's modifications to the point that it can't be copied. Also make it to the point that you must implement your idea this time without hesitation. Just pushed it.

Don't give up. If someone has created similar project that still doesn't mean your project won't better

Does or has already done? If it is still on the way so do not quit because you still have a chance to make a better version of it.

good question if its still on the developing stage and you thnk that you can create much useful and much better than the one who exist first
for me its still better to proceed and showcase all of your advantage and beside you didn't copy it from them you already got the idea the
problem alone is they promote it much earlier than you, so better to create unique one which offer the same but much useful.

it is the game coin, Decentralized assets, seems like there is 3 of them actually. 

Once I have an idea, I will definitely find ways to do it, difficult is not something that makes me hesitate, I just fear that my understanding is not enough to overcome that difficulty. So, I always learn about new things.

If I have a really good idea, I will definitely implement it. Implementing ideas means we have to overcome all challenges. Competition is a decisive factor, we need strategies to attract the attention of others.

This, welcome to real life. You just have to come in with a stronger project with a good value add. There could also be competition coming in after the fact, aka you;re never safe. Think outside the box, hire good people to surround you and live your brand everday.

There is something that only you can do and no one else 8)

You never know which of your idea will be successful. Your idea was stolen but your originality was not So get to work and bring your idea to fruition.

Of course, I'll get angry and I will not let it pass, you don't want others to be credited for what ideas you have formed. But this can resolved when you are properly credited or ask for your permission.

Of course I will still continue the project, you need to step up and bring the best of you, don't be afraid of competition, make it as a motivation to do better project and no matter who start first there will be always a competition, so you need to be flexible and creative to make your project alive and survive

then i think, i think how can i make current idea better by checking already available projects on the same idea. and create new plan with improvements and add new feature and launch it.

p.s. dont share complete idea with anyone, just basic features.

remember you had the idea originally, so only you can make it better, not those who have stolen the idea.
but its also possible that 2 or more persons has the same idea. without knowing each other.

Competition and labor are the greatest reason for a person's life. If you are looking for a reason to live, find yourself a reason. Because this will provide enough energy to live.

That's how I think about stolen ideas. I try harder and try harder to do better things. So do not leave your ideas and go to the end.

A product is 1% idea and 99% execution. If someone else has the same idea (they will), it shouldn't stop you. Just execute better than they do.

If you really believe in something and are truly passionate about it - then do it even if there is competition. Many people do something for the quick buck, but if they are not 100% passionate about it - they will fail on their own or they will be easy to beat.

It depends. But I believe that very often it's still worths to try. If you don't have something urgent and can afford to spend time resources on the idea, you definetely should try

Personally, if someone starts something while I'm working on it, then I'll do what ever it takes to out-compete him! else I'll adapt and change my angle so I can provide some differential value to my audience. If you really started on a project, then you should have the tools and knowledge to do what I mentioned previously. Either way, an idea is ONLY that, till it's executed.

You always have to face it when you come up with a truly original idea. Suppose you made a new food... you can prevent others from making it by never exploring the true recipe. But, Internet isn't like a food. it's open for anybody and everybody. So, welcome to the nature of the Internet! Here we're in BTT forum, somebody created the world's first Internet forum and the second person who saw it created the world's second forum. But, who did it first? That's what world remember.... who's the second? That's not important for the world. You're the first dude!  Be proud of yourself and go ahead........

Take that as a healthy competition. I remember a movie about, what Apple did to Xerox and Microsoft to Apple. It is all about business, improve it and make it unique. Also, your idea does not stop on your desktop, make a move and go for it.
Here is a quote from Mr. Warren Buffet: “You do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I’ll do something. If not, I won’t do a damn thing.”

it seems that there should be in detail and some not for the publication of project excellence.
One thing to keep secret is the primacy and the prime advantage before being released.
I will continue if it happens to me.

Look what Satoshi did and currently is doing to this date, nothing if your idea is something really original like Bitcoin then you shouldn't talk about it before the launch, you need to make the first move. this is of course for open source part of the internet but if you are not open source and some body steals your idea, if you have claimed the rights and registered the patent then you could go to the court. in open source internet people usually want to make the world a better place and the world gives them back ten folds. do you think Satoshi knew that Bitcoin will hit a price like $5000? not a chance, but the universe returned the favor, with that kind of work and ideas you need only to think about the benefits of your idea.

idea is a small part, idea is important but execution makes the difference

As far as I know there is no intellectual property rights on Alt coins. People are trying to patent Bitcoin/Blockchain technology, but it is already public domain. If the competition is not too strong already, I would jump in quickly. Those ideas might fail or the people behind it might lose interest. ^smile^

You have nothing to lose, just take a stab at it and see where it goes. Good luck.

If you do see that someone do stole your idea but not completely as you expected and there are still some missing parts i guess it wont really be the end for you since you can able to create the same idea but much more better to those who copy into you since you can still able to enhance or upgrade it which the other side didnt do such thing.If you do believe in your idea which anyone cant really copy it then for sure it would outstand those copycats.

got a good point there mate, idea can be copied but the transition to success are not, its really hard for someone to continue converting an
idea into a success lots of effort and determination are needed to complete things that we want to achieved.

This.  If you know in your heart and soul that your idea has great potential, never give up.  Maybe make adjustments to compensate for competition.  In fact, always be agile and willing to make changes to keep up with the pace of progress.  But if you have an idea that is so important to you, make it happen.  Failure is not an option.

I talked with founders and inventors and none of them ever said
they feared their ideas could be stolen as the ones who would be really interested
in stealing are the ones who just want to make profit out of it but do not want to input
the work needed to generate the profit.

As others have already said, the success of an idea is in the execution. Other things like available resources, budget etc also come into play.

When I was young and naive I had an idea stolen by someone who had a lot more funds and connections than I did at the time - there was nothing I could do about it as I simply didn't have the resources to win the battle. Lesson learnt.

Whenever sharing ideas with other parties, always have a non-disclosure agreement in place. Otherwise, only ever give an outline and don't give away the fine details.

Well the thing is things like this are preety common instead of sulking about it go ahead and do what you planned to do at first because no matter who stole it how they stole it at the end of the day you thought about it thus you will be able to produce something even better or more accountable yes... People might say that you stole their idea etc..but... You should know one thing... The only person that should matter or that might make you feel bad should be... You yourself!
best of luck🙌

I dint say stolen ..

If you know your idea very good you will do it anyway, without asking advices.

Why you have to backout if your idea is much better than the other one? Try to distinguish if your idea was stolen or try to look if the other idea is much better to you. But if you can see that you have the advantage with that idea and you want to pursue it because you believe with your idea and it's going to be a very successful one.

That I need it is good pr and the best quality

Back in the days when there was no Internet, many inventions were fulfilled simultaneously. Some succeded, some were a failure from the start, some died in competition. Telephone, light bulbs... Now many intentions are announced before realization, consequently - some give up before trying, although they cold be much better at designing and project development than some blatant salesman with big marketing budget.

When someone else gets my idea, I'll totally get discouraged! For a while, I would probably hold grudges towards the person and be grumpy. But the competitive part of me would then arise. I'll feel proud that someone else took interest with my idea. Since the idea he worked upon on is not his original, then there would surely be a subjective difference, and not everything he has done is according to the exact plan you had in your mind. Go work on you idea and do it better than what the idea-taker did.

While there is value in many original ideas I think often times people get hung up on the idea itself and worry too much about "protecting" thier idea, as opposed to implementing it. In most fields there is room for many people doing the same thing, Google was not the first search engine, Facebook was not the first social network etc.

Go implement your idea and pay less attention to what someone else is doing - if you believe your idea is workable of course.

There is no business out their without competition, so keep that in mind. Ebay has Amazon, PayPal has bitcoin etc. Every business has one, you just have to come up with a unique strategy which will benefit your customer. Because once you get the customers on your side, your business will boom. Well that's my opinion.

This is one of the reason why you shouldn't share much information to others unless they're your partner/s. I did experience this before,  what I did was I reprogram my idea in which I have my own signature touch and did some additional modification just to put an edge into my former group. Luckily I haven't shared them my notes in regards the software in which they only know how to make it but doesn't have any idea on what is the purpose of it. A proper execution and implementation is really the key in a success.

Competition would really be always there and the thing you said was right once you got customers on your side then it would really be an advantage for you but as being said here if the idea was stolen then it would be a disaster thing specially when you saw that hes getting lots users or customers it would really be an insult into your part.

Improve your idea, make it better or add specific functionalities to target specific segment.
For instance, Iphone was copied couple of times by other Chinese competitors such as OPPO, VIVO or Honor. Although they propose similar model, they still manage to be very profitable by selling the Iphone alike model.

That is a good idea hence improving idea is always receive negative feedback regarding copy writing nor there were tendency that they accused you of piracy. Maybe you should create a new idea and don't discuss to everyone it, to lessen the risk of stealing idea.

When your idea is taken and you think it really worth it, you continue to improve it to make a better offer :) It is okay to have competition and it is also okay to not be the first proposition. What counts, in the end, is how serious you are and the quality of the product you are able to deliver.

If you can really think that you can change something in there and this change would work and create value then no problem, in summary if you believe that this will work so why not, try it...

Action is the key word when it  comes to your  mind,do not  wait,do something  about it,do not allow fund to be a stumbling  block.Because no Idea can be monopolize,every of your thought daily has cross the mind of  another person.So take action,do something, take a step. From conception to documentation and  Implementation should follow suit.

facebook wasn't first social network
google wasn't first search engine

It depends, if I really like project and I can use it. I do not see a reason to build my own. But if I feel that I can do better and faster. Main idea is to have at least one major benefit

Paraphrasing from other people, no ideas exist in an ether. If you've come up with it, someone else likely has already as well and is working on it. The planet is too large, $7 billion people. Even if original ideas are the same though, diversity comes in the execution. Always many niches to explore and occupy. Also, "does" is the key word. If "does" just means they put up a website and a white paper, maybe a demo, nope, not too late to jump in the scene. If is a dozen larger competitors that already have explored a space pretty thoroughly over the past two years? That's a case where maybe you go back into a closet and try to come up with another idea.

This man mentioned correctly, facebook and google weren't first ones but now you see that they are first, especially google is N1 website in the world.
You can't do anything when your idea is taken until you have patented it (patent means you have official right to do that thing). On another hand it's always better, if you think that your idea is great and it has serious potential, do your best, get loan and finish job on high grade, don't let others to make your idea lately and better.

Agreed! You need to put in more efforts to make your idea unique and different and most importantly more useful to the end-users than your competitors'. You need to hire a team of developers who remain engaged in constant research and development in order to make your idea better and more easy to use and beneficial for the potential customers or users. That way you will beat your competitors and become more successful than them.

I think you should start a competition and try to be better in all aspects.

You have to purse what you started. At the end it doesn't even matter,

But...

If you lack the funds then you should re-evaluate the idea and find ways to execute it without $$$
If everyone who you trusted betrayed you, forget about the project and continue your path, at the end karma will reign
If you quit all together it means you were never going to execute that idea successfully, go back to the closet and put yourself together
If you started first and you have the balls to stand up against the competitor without funds or a team you will be legend

Your idea could be duplicated in short period of time after your project starts. It is normal and you should be prepared for this. Simply be fast in creating your product and have enough capital to proceed in order to compete.

It's not the end of your luck to have more ideas. You're a mind set to think a lot of. Create a new for the best shot.

This really depends on what kind of idea it is, how far you've progressed on it and how far they've progressed on the project...

It's not easy to give advice on this one without knowing what the idea is about and how far you've both progressed. More information would be very nice.

You definitely shouldn't give up as it's not the idea brings you success. It's implementation.

Even if there are two groups (competitors) with virtually identical products, one can still emerge as the dominant player in the market through better marketing/execution/price/cost structure etc.  It's also important to realize that a company like 3M is know for taking ideas that are already out there and making them better.

I'm sure that if you started, pay efforts, sometimes money, you should play this game till the end. Perhaps finally exactly you will be the winner!

Idea is not the final point. The important things it's how you manage your effort to make this idea a real project.

Once you can accept the fact that coming up with brand new ideas isn't the thing that differentiates most businesses, your mind really becomes open to what's possible and what you can truly accomplish. It also helps you clarify what your goal should be instead of trying to come up with the next big thing that's never been done. ;)

Get a new idea, or stay with the old idea, but add a better proposition to it so it will be unique in the end.

For me you just need to accept the fact,  because it was happen due to your negligence also if you have new idea don't discuss to everyone to avoid the stooling of idea. Then instead of self pity regarding what happen, why you should create a new idea? that gives you popularity to crypto currency society. People thinking had limitless so I'm sure creating new idea is not too much hard.

Go forward. Be confident. Truth and perseverance will prevail.

If someone has launched something similar to your project or token, think of what makes your project better than them. Don't be discouraged to stop because it's your project, thinking of a concept isn't an easy thing and if you do have a real business and you want to support it by that token so what's the reason that you should stop because there are some that are first to you? if I were you I'll do this.
But if you know to yourself that your project doesn't have any future plans and you don't have any realistic goals, just stop.

No one has monopoly of Idea, every Idea is been ruminated  by a lot of individual, reason why it is very important to take a step ones an idea cross your  mind, do not wait until you have all the resources to execute, start with what you have. If its is an Idea that you are passionate about, even when it seems it has been stolen you still execute if it is an Idea born out of passion

I’m glad you got your mojo back and didnt pull that trigger! Competition is good for the soul, you can see what they lack in and make your product that much better.  Plan, anticipate and execute flawlessly

If you know that you are the first one to think about it. You dont need to stop your project idea. Do not lose hope that you know yourself you deserve it.

This thing should really be done on which if you really have the idea then better to fight on it as long you do know that you can make it even more better than to those on people who did able to copy your idea.This kind of situation do really give an odd feeling when someone did took on the thing you should tend to make but this thing actually depend on how you would further develop.Just create another one and don't mind on the copy-cat just be sure that you can do better than on that one.

The most important is not idea but implementation. You have to promote your idea/service with all around you and find early adopters, some of them will work with you. Also anyone realize own vision of idea and you could implement it much better than your competitor.
Just do it!  ::)

Ideas are broad.
Before you can sue anyone for copyright, there should a visible/physical evidence that you had published it first.

If you think you come up with a great idea, it is fair to also think someone has already come up with the same one (if it is really great).  However, not many people can actually realize the idea because there is always a large hurdle between ideation and operation.  So idea only doesn't count much.

The world is full of this scenario, Even on this forum we see everyday how people are complaining how they ideas are been copy and they have to stop the project or change the face of the project in other to make it look different. If I have an idea and the project has commenced and some one else louch the same project first I will have no more options than to contact the person and see if we can work together in other to improve the project and from there we can join our head and make the project the best and that will motivate investors to put in fund more than one I can do alone. Though most times some people are hard to get along with and they may not understand that you start the project first and share the same idea! In that case I  will modify the project in other to create competition.

Justify your idea and creation maybe someone just stalked to you and asked you things about your project. And while thinking, he/she find it out that you have an interesting project and idea so while you are on your way to making it they think that they have to make it before you published it to the public. We still don't have that kind of law or ruling about crypto projects and ideas that you can file plagiarism to whomever that will copy your idea or will make the same thing as yours.

I think it is a really bad thing, it's like you robbed the idea, it is a coincidence, but it causes us the loss, and I'm sure you will feel A lot of trouble when faced with it, something really bad.

You can have both the idea but in some aspects I know that there is a difference. If you know that you have an edge in some way then compete and beat him and prove that yours is better than his.

Competition is what makes people to create new ideas, to do things in different way and like that to attract people. Doing something better then others is good start, that better should be a bit different from others. If you are good in something if you believe that you are in the right track don't give up, quitting is like surrendering and if you are quitter you will never succeed in anything.
We live in the world where competition is strong in everything, to be successful you need to have certain qualities and to work every day for that.

Never give up, successful entrepreneur every time needs to motivate his/her self if the idea stolen sit and make or revise another one.

This is true on which if we do really like to succeed on this world we would really need to work hard and strive to make ideas which would really potentially that would able to caught communities attention which would really leads up for you to succeed.If someone stoles your idea then let it be since you do really know on what is the total concept of that idea since you already formulated on the things that you would add on later on.For sure that copy-cat will really left behind since not all people do have similarities on what they are thinking of the things which on their minds.

Let it go and evolve my idea to a better one.

When Facebook launched, MySpace had been already there. And other people tried to implement social networking on the internet in the 90s (e.g. classmates.com). Slack is also a good example in the messaging field. Unless someone with the same idea is a monopolist, there is nothing bad in having rivals.

Competition is good. It strives to make you do even better.

if I personally, if my idea is to use let alone the origin is not a fatal idea or a very important idea .. because premises with my idea in use means my idea good and useful what else if profitable for the use .. but if the idea it's important maybe I'll make the lesson to be more careful and in the security lock better ..

Everyone has unique idea but only few of us will do it to become into reality. Like sitoshi nakamoto's Bitcoin. Maybe there's another geek who has the same idea but the creation and implementation is not his thing.

Success of a project is not only related to uniqueness of the idea.
You can innovate much around the same idea. In fact the knowledge that someone is doing what you are doing should challenge you so much that you fine tune your project and get ready to be in the ring.

Many opinions also say that the idea should not be dead. If the idea You have ...

If you have enough passion, trust and patience, you can make your ideas come true, but it is important that you have the effort to do it, and we must overcome all the difficulties. And we also need a friend, do not let your loneliness, because loneliness will make you lose confidence in yourself.

Stolen ide it's look like a smooth crime that is big wrong way thought,so don't tell to everyone yours bigges ide before you have a coppyright etc..

copyright or NDA contract to keep your project idea safe

Ideas are worth nothing, It's all about execution if you believe that you can build and develop your idea better than your competitors, the go and compete. Note: What you create needs to solve a real problem or bring value to a community.

first do not give up, secondly optimistic, the third do more in terms of competing with their respective advantages

I should add that I believe blockchain technology and AI will solve this problem in the future. The originator of an idea will be able to be verified. This will allow the monetization of ideas, which will make the world a much better place. I believe that the Open Source community and things like the MIT License are great right now, but in the future, when the originator of an idea or equation can be for sure identified, monetization will naturally occur, and we will all be better off for this. I should write an essay on this. I truly believe this will be world changing and further accelerate the rate of technological, medical, and scientific progress.

Competition is always good and will push both teams from seperate project to deliver a better product  ;D

if you really started it first,and someones does it before you do i think u have a back up plan being the original author,or else u dont really know the projects future.coz the other person has nothing to compete with the original creator in the deepest perspective of the project.

Ideas can mean something but for me the important thing is the way you go while turning your idea to a real product.

idea is nothing , important realisation !

Once a project has been launched, there will always be someone else who wants to create a copy of it. It doesn't mean the original will be pulled down to let the new competitor have the market and his way!. Proceed, make the idea all you wanted it to be. Let the market determine who deserves to be number one.

every person have a idea.when my idea is teken I fill proud more.And I Thinking more new new idea.

Ideas are everywhere, if you think you're the first about that idea and hasn't execute for some reason, then you only have that idea, but someone know better to make it work in more appropriate ways.

We cannot blame anyone for stealing an idea, because if the ideas is worth it, then somebody will produce the same.

What we can do is improvement of the ideas.

If an idea has already been done and is successful then you just need to improve on the idea and provide a better service.

You have the idea and even if they are first in the implementation then you can still innovate and then implement your idea. You can observe that there are many companies that have the same product concepts but then there is something unique to each product that would make people be attracted to it and use it so you can still implement yours as well. Even if they have taken your idea, they may just be implementing the basics of it but in your version, it should be more innovative and it would just depend on your marketing strategy how would you make the people notice the product instead of theirs. With their implementation, you can observe how they are doing and then know the strengths and weaknesses to that idea and then in time of your implementation, you already address the issues that arise which would be easier on your part.

No, I have to be optimistic and keep sliding in accordance with the ideas that have been compiled,
Yes, let's say I was his competitor.
Though he slid first with the idea I had made, he will lose in the end. because he doesn`t understand 100% with the technique in the idea, but I 100% understand because I make the idea.

Quitting and giving up is a clear sign that you are not confident with your own ideas and you just told us that yours is not better than theirs. Maybe they started first but remember what edge you have compared to others. You can take advantage of looking at their projects and knowing what you have that they don't have.

If really your idea has been taken by another person, you should not give up but think of more details about what would be added to the original idea to make it better. Also advertisement would help in promoting your product.

U buy the token that took your idea and be an investor lol

Firs of all, you should never discuss in details your ideas and concepts to someone unless you are very certain and you trust that person. Second, just the outline, not the technical procedures on how o do it. Third, if ever your idea is already taken by someone, just move on and think for another better idea or use the same idea but  improve the procedure. The outcome and the process on how you do it is better than ideas and concepts.

Seem to me like no idea is really that original. most times you will discover that what people basically do is retweak old idea and introduce something new alongside it. my advice to you is to sit back and think of how to repackage your idea in a way that will be different from the original one that was stolen from you. cheers.

good ideas, useful ideas for others and can help him what he needs. ideas are thoughtful thoughts that come from god for the good of oneself or the good for others. use the idea as best you can and if the idea is good for yourself should be more careful again and make as safe as possible ..
multiply the idea of ​​increasing intelligence and knowledge for us, do the best for ourselves and others. because it's a good deed ..

first i need to know what other i deas i have that any one cant have so that i can fix where im wrong or what are the same idea i have to other, i need to creat my own imagination .

 Personally, I would press ahead if i feel there is enough space in the market for myself and the competition. The motivation would be to do it better than them and dominate the market. Another option is to partner with the competition, as two heads are better than one.

when the idea coming during the project so the well not explain it before the project completion because the project well release and the hacker hacked it

Launch it because cowards have no place for successful people in this world. There's a lot of people who started the idea first but those others that comes after manage to knock them down. Nokia is the top brand when it comes to mobile phone long ago but now Apple is leading the way.

I always try to improve upon my idea whenever I feel it has been taken
If you start a company where there are no competitors, you will most likely fail. A seed, planted where other plants exist, has a much better chance of flourishing than a seed planted in a desert.

Securing success depends on having that trait that kills off competition, not avoiding it. Google killed Yahoo because its search scaled without increasing payroll. Its crawler and PageRank automated the categorization process that Yahoo was doing via people. Google didn't avoid competing with Yahoo on search. Instead, Google partnered with Yahoo to handle stuff Yahoo couldn't deal with, until the day people started abandoning Yahoo for Google directly. Its differentiator won the choice conflict.

I can not ignore it ... maybe my idea will help him and he will use it in a good way and maybe help his family and make his future work better in the future

Is you create an awesome idea you should review and check it and few of your ideas must be considered as youre main idea to create a bussiness of yours it may help you a lot.  :)

Well first off I don't think you should be telling everyone your ideas in detail, but if he only went off of your idea, I would go against him as competition because you came up with the idea and you know how it is truly saposed to work. So go for it still try, but sadly you can't do anything to him about stealing an idea but you can still crush him in the competition.

I'm sorry this happened to you, but it happens to everyone. There is no project in this world that doesn't compete with something else. I would say there is no reason for you to stop developing your idea. One of the most important things to learn is how to follow through with development. I've had issues with following through in the past and realized that the best way to solve this problem is to complete a project and put it out there. Keep developing your idea, make changes to differentiate yourself, improve on the original idea, and add features that make it better than the competition. Competition is good. Competition will make you better.

Yes you have to lunch it because it is your first idea whom you first started,so dont be nervous about everything you want to do even though their is someone else does it first. Just make an innovation that beyond on the first doer. Make something better than it.because ideas came also from ideas just make something new in the eyes of society.

Recognized an innovation on your idea because making something new and better can over come the first idea whom someone else does.

Think this way: You can look at each solution from different perspectives. If main idea is taken, find another valuable implementation of your solution or try to implement it with same idea but for another industry with some features developed specially for choosen industry.

That's my opinion. Only trying, you'll reach the result.

There are more than 7.6 billion people in the world thus there is a high probability that someone else have the same idea as you.
Even if someone else start a similar project to yours don't give up, you can learn a lot from his experience and avoid his mistakes as you can add more features to attract more customers.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Read my other posts. Never back down! Always double down!

It’s not bad if you launch it, but how can you prove that your idea is originally than the copy write? It’s hard to make it; also I’m sure that the replica of your idea was improved it much better than your design scheme stolen.
I suggest it’s better if you create new idea even how hard to do it, moreover make sure that this idea was not discussed to everyone to assure that your plan is wrap and cannot steal by the intruders.

I strongly disagree with the people who are suggesting you find a completely new idea and don't tell anyone. One thing you should realize when starting a project is that someone else has already done something similar. There is no way around it. What you are trying to do has probably already been done. After you get past that mental barrier, you need to figure out what you are going to do that is going to make you so much better than everything that has already been done. Do you think Tesla was the first electric car company or Apple was the first computer company? No of course not. But when they came into the industry, they had a vision. A vision for how their products were going to change your life. Then, they executed on that vision. You need to do the same thing. Don't worry about what other people are doing. Don't even mind if you tell other people. Let other people know. Do you know why you can let other people know? Because you have the vision and passion for your idea, and they don't. It's really that simple. Stop thinking about whether or not you should do it and just do it. Then, you should come back and let us know how it goes!

Launch but do it better. Competition is always present in the market so you just need to find a way to make your idea or project the best of them all.

In this kind of situation, I will make this negative to be positive. I will challenge myself to improve what my idea that has been taken. Never give up even failures come because failure will lead us to success.

A very interesting proposition! I think so. When you have the seeds of an idea, you should defend it and let the project go as soon as possible because there will be many people who share the same ideas as yours. There are many people in the world. You start the idea first, you can walk in front of others, no matter how many difficulties, you must be the first person to know. You also need a team, we have a common sense of shape, strive for their own goals and achieve results.

If I have an idea, I first google it, maybe already someone is working on my idea.

Better find new idea.

If you are on final stage and you are confident enough maybe you should calculate costs. With better marketing you can beat them.

No! don't quit instead move forward. The idea might be same but it doesn't necessarily mean that the product will turn out the same. No need for competition if you yourself know that particular idea better.

It's not about if your idea is stolen or not. It's about how good execution is. It's all about how you promote your idea

You need to continue  and develop your work and ideas better.  Plan for a good marketing strategies  and find the best members of the team that  will enhance your project in the future. Of course consider also right timing in executing the project.

Most of the time every person can not success with a brand new project even the idea was too good. Main thing is you have discovered an idea. Keep this spirit to your mind and just think about to make it better.
Who can say the future about anything? If any person already started project with the idea you discovered then you find a way to make that better and discover better project with that. Even you can start a brand new project with an new idea because when you have discovered an idea then you can discover another idea with your talent

If everything you have to lose is time (that might be the case if you are a good website developer&designer for example, and also can make the product yourself), then you should give it a try - why not? Same idea does not mean same product. You could become more successful than your competitor by having the better product.

If you need to invest a lot of money at first, it's different of course. Then nobody can help you with your decision, you should analyze the situation and decide on your feeling.
My thoughts: If you don't have a good feeling already (and I don't mean if you have a bad feeling), then you should just leave it. You should be amazed by your idea for it to work.

if you can share more glimpse of that idea and what has been taken from it, you can equally tap from tones of brains here who can advise you on how to steer that your idea in a better direction to better compete with that sudden rival.

Most entrepreneurs have lots of ideas but few of them are able to successfully execute that one idea that makes all the difference. Yet, idea execution has always been the key to starting a successful business. If you are fortunate to have found that killer idea, these are a few things you can do. Validate your idea.

I will think again to create a new idea that is more valuable.
Because if we just give up we will not get to our ultimate goal or we will not develop

Actually the probability is so high that other person has same idea as yours. For me if this would happen to me, I will still continue mine, because I believe that we have a different perspective in life. So maybe they will took it too shallow then I will make mine deep. Sometimes perfect competition in the market is good.

keep going and make biggest community!

well thats life mate, a lesson to learn... but dont give up all you have to do is modified your said idea and form a new and upgraded one mate  :)

observe competitors work.

their flaws is your advantage. :)

in 21 century idea cost not so much

Life is as such. When you have an idea just go all out on it if not whats left will be regrets. Even if others have a similar idea, they will surely be a difference somewhere and definitely in the market there will be competition. Just do your best and give it a shot!

if i am own that idea, i am still working on it and make it better then someone that have some idea like me
because you know looking the progres and working on it without give up is better than don't doin anyting and see other win, because you will regret it in future

I will be disappointed for sure if my idea is taken by someone. However, I will not easily give up and will try work it and let's see who has the better product between you and the one who takes your idea. This is how many big industries started, Microsoft or Bill Gates says he did stole the idea, of DOS and Windows and then he improved it. That's life man, but it doesn't mean that you have to give up on your idea. Continue to pursue it until one day you will get the recognition that you deserves.

Hello everyone... I am new here and I am interested in other people ideas for new projects. Where can i find these ideas and prototypes for mining? I am interested in developing using FPGA program or ASIC or other ideas... I have investors lined up !!!

Yes for sure keep going! The competitor may fail and you may prevail. Just make sure to have great marketing so that people see you as the better option, even if in reality you are both the same option.

I've started a project 3 years ago then a friend of mine told me he saw someone started the same thing like 3 weeks before me. At this stage I could have stopped everything but I did not do it. Now my competitor is doing well and me as well. Honnestly there is so much room. Competition is good for business in general. Don't forget ideas can turn into patents under certain conditions. Most important, keep faith in you! You are your best supporter

Take a closer look at your original idea if you still believe in it look for ways to give more value with your option.

I think I still launch my idea and add in more impress point to prove that it's mine and someone had taken it.

Helllo :) You sound interesting. I would like to hear an idea of yours!

You have to approach the person who taken  your idea, Great ideas does not come right away so we must let other people to threat on it with honor and respect as per saying " Give the credit where the credit is due"

Many people have similar ideas but it's execution of that idea that makes difference. If you plan it well even copying someone's idea is also fine.

never giver up! try make better then him. keep spirit  ;)

If your idea is taken, you just need to be the first  to conduct and implement.

The competition is tight for that and there so many taken ideas has been implemented and runned by numerous business man here but the competition will be judge based on the uniqueness on one businesses since if he catch the trend and do something new with his business then he could earn huge success with that. And money will be needed unto this so that those business implementor could widen their marketing strategy to gain more success.

Some people are really good at ideas.  Others are good at implementation.  Very few are good at both.

Recognizing your weakness is key as you have to fill in the gaps to compete with others.  You might need to fill those gaps yourself if you are bootstrapping.  That’s what separates the men from the boys.

You learn how to learn, then learn how to apply, then improve every step of the way by learning more.

If it’s truly your idea then own it and tweak it until the other person cannot compete with your upgraded idea and they have already committed capital. 

Keep the faith and continue learning and trying because it’s the only way to succeed.

If you are doing a presentation about your idea, do not get into the details because they might steal your idea. Even if they stole it, they would not make it as perfect as yours because you know every detail and at the end of the day, it would be clear to people that it was your idea to begin with because it was well-made.

However, if you came up with an idea and you knew someone who came up with it on his own, either you would change it or make it as perfect as you can so it would definitely surpass it.

Fake ones would be always ended up to be fake no matter what they do on copying your idea since the whole concept is already on your mind. They might make some additions but most of the time it wont really fit or not suitable on the idea you do made. This is why when you do tend to illustrate between yours and the fake ones then people will definitely tell the difference even if they would see at first the similarities but on further discussions they would find out which is more better.

Your own idea will surely be unique unless an insider gave out your full features to the competitor. However since it's just an idea in development, you can juice it up with more robust features.

Execution is what really matters, if you execute rightly even competitors ahead of you can be overtaken in very short time.

Execution is sooooo important. If somebody else already launched a project based an your idea, you should try to evaluate: 1. If they have the necessary resources to advance it, and to do it in the right time. 2. If you can gather more resources than them, and make a better project (details are very important). Because you have several options: give up on your idea completely, try to make your project and become a competitor or join the project that has already been launched with the intention to make it better. Try to think in more colors, not just black and white!

the world is a big place, just continue

sometimes ideas are taken but there arent enough alternatives,

like tether, but u cant find enough teammates that have the guts to develop it

If my idea was taken I would definitely outranged because someone taken my idea without any permissions but unless he or she cited my work or ideas to avoid plagiarism.

          For me there is no problem if you have the same idea with someone who wants to compete you,just do and prove that your a good competitor,that you are not a losser. Idea make possible if you put it in reality so try to do what your idea is and dont mind othera as long as you can win over your competitor.

If the idea is driven by passion or motivation, i modify it and go ahead with it.

dats kinda difficult comparing it wasntg patented

Giving up isnt really a suggestion though regarding on these kind of situation specially when someone took your idea. Not only just on money matter but also your pride will really be affected on here for sure. Even myself if someone took my idea then i cant really sleep and wont stop to sweep those impostors who do took my idea.Since you do know the full concept of your project no matter they would add up some things into your idea people will still always look at the difference.

jonnytracker, wonder if you have actually executed on your idea? Regardless of whether you did or not. Wish you the best of luck in the pre-existing project or any new project/s that you now might have up your sleeves.  :)

For me, its okay, you can create new ideas much better to your idea before because ideas are everywhere, give your best to make better idea then protect it from people who taken your work.

Try to modernize it! You still can make better project with including new ideas and trumps:)

Most people at some point in their life have an original, or even brilliant idea. Very few of these people bring together the skill sets required to make the idea a reality, and even fewer of them see their project through to success. The idea is the least important part of the puzzle in many cases, having the drive, skills and team to bring it to life is much more important.

I'd say, if you think you can do better, go for it. If they already have the market completely dominated, probably move on to another idea as there are still plenty of ideas you could develop, even if the other idea was to be your magnum opus.

Yes!i agreed with you , Some apeople also come up with a possible idea for a solution to a common problem and dismiss it, never to address the subject seriously again. Others generate an idea for a business and fixate on it, trying to take action but never getting off the ground.
Ideas come in many shapes and sizes, and while most bad ideas are recognizable as bad ideas immediately, not all “good” ideas are created equal. A “good” idea, in theory, is one that solves a problem adeptly, with no major drawbacks. But not every good idea can sustain a good business.
For example, your idea, while good, might not be cost effective, therefore preventing you from generating a worthwhile profit. If you have a good idea, but you aren’t sure whether the idea is sustainable as the foundation for a real business, ask yourself some questions:

1.Has someone else beaten you to it? This is an important question to ask, and one quick Google search should provide you with a succinct, direct answer. See if there are any other persons  that are already using your idea. If it’s a great idea, there’s a good chance that someone else already thought of it. If you see at least one competitor with a version of your idea that’s as good as or better than yours, your idea probably isn’t sustainable.

2.Can it last for more than a year? This may seem like an obvious question of sustainability, but think critically about the nature of your idea. Does it take advantage of a current fad or trend? If so, remember that fads don’t usually last long. Business ideas that take advantage of a fleeting interest do not succeed -- instead, you need something that solves a long-term problem with a long-term solution.
If you can answer all of these questions confidently, and backed with ample research, you’ll have a good chance at turning your idea into a successful enterprise.

It's great when your ideas are done and supported by everyone. That is happiness but if someone is doing the same as your idea then how? As you look to bitcoin and many people also come to bitcoin, your investment, trade will be convenient or difficult?

When your idea is taken, be first try to understand what his  intentions or motives of why he has done so and what he would do about it. Sharing isn't a bad thing when there's no evil intent behind it. The important things is of how would you do with your idea. If you work on it and your happy doing it whatever the outcome then its good.

This is the essence and beauty of capitalism. If your idea is taken, then offer it better than the current person who is implementing the idea. No business is perfect, so you'll be able to find a way to compete somehow and use that as your marketing point.

If somebody get your idea , try to make another one and make it unique from the others to make sure that its not be easy to copy . and do your best for it.😇😇

Even it the two projects are equal quality, you could grab market share from your competitor with a good advertising campaign.
I would give it a shot.

I will not give up and maybe I will slide forward as their competitors by applying some extra features that 'nothing' in the previous idea. It seems that in that way I can beat them, I do this just to make them aware and think. That his 'deed' is something that was not good (cheating).

There is nothing to do but you can rethink and shift a little bit as your thinking. Actually, we have to keep secret our thinking and idea. never disclose to anyone or any internet platform. some people always trying to copy and paste of another idea. so always keep secret your idea.
Basically, Idea can change your life and a good idea can shift your level in your society. keep trying in the pensive mood and let's start.

You must be very worried if the idea is copied or imitated. Yes it is very worrying, but you should not have to worry if your idea imitated. When you are being interviewed or are telling stories you do not need to explain in detail and have to keep it secret to them about your idea.

Yeah in my opinion, for most most good ideas, you have dozens of tentative implementations.

Theres no really need to shift since you do have the full concept of your idea which means you can still proceed into your original plan and its up to people won where they decide to join or engage on such project.Expect there would really be changes to those who copied your idea.It sucks but you cant avoid since there are people who do love on stealing someones idea.

How would you know that it's yours if you aren't even applying it? It's not taken and its just the guy who had the same idea as you had put it into motion and making it officially his own except if you have proof it was stolen from you.

You also need a team, we have a common sense of shape.

So far you are the one with the original idea, you can make it better with improved techniques. Find something that you know that when input, it will beats his many times. But don't  try to make it look or sounds similar. Use a so different name, different perceptive but still driving on one thing. This will help you remove, competitions at the first place so your project  can grow. Take a look at some business, most are offering same service with different techniques.

I think I should continue onwards,think another idea,
Because there is a lot of idea in our mind.

I usually create-make every project... dont be any problem that issue

Don't lose heart. Just stick at it - 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration and all that.

I will be angry .... Because it violates copyright and already there is a law. The person who has made his idea has worked hard physically and mentally. They easily steal ideas. It is very painful. And do not let it. Our country is a state of law and anyone who tries to hurt someone in any form will have sanctions. So do not once steal, even if only the idea stolen.

i think the only thing you can do is being mad , it really against the law of copyright , but you do not have any proof that you are the first to think of that idea you cant even fight for it and you should let that issue i know that it is hard but you cant do anything , as long it has not posted yet here and was stolen before it was posted that one who got the idea is the one who has the authority with that idea .


and in case that the idea was posted and has stolen you can report it with link of the original post , that post is enough to be an evidence and it has a weight .

OK, this is my pet peeve.  Someone may have your idea, but you need to learn about market positions.

Someone has to be first to market, but that is hardly the only market position.

There is best to market - which is taking advantage of not being first so you can study how the market reacted to the first guy and make improvements.  There are so many advantages to not being first, it is naive to think that first to market is only to market.

First to market is almost never best to market, and best to market is better positioned than first to market.

There is also last to market.  These companies position themselves as "the latest", "newest"...they make themselves look more high-tech, and they make the competition look out of touch and dated.

There are many other market positions.  Just because someone has your idea means nothing.  As a marketer, I get a thrill out of kicking my competitors' asses anyway.

Steve Jobs pointed out that when Apple had 3% market share and then grabbed just .5% more, that was like a billion dollars.  This is how you want to see the market, as a giant pie that you're just trying to snag pieces of.

When I hear  someone complain that "someone has my idea", I want to tell them to go read "Positioning" by Jack Reis.

Lastly, competition is an indicator of an active market.  If no one has your idea, and the market has never seen your product/idea, then theoretically there is no demand for it.

For me much better to compete because the idea is original from you, you only need is to think alternative way to defeat the other team or company thats life and that is business. Even you have unique idea if you show that to other they can copy that that is why you need to learn how to compete with your idea as always to challenge yourself to find unique idea again.

If you have a very good idea then you also can not sure that your idea will work and you will be famous. Your brand new idea can be worthless and it also can be invaluable. You have discovered an idea and that is the main thing. Just think about to make it better by keeping this spirit in your mind. Can anybody say what will happen at future?
You find a wat to make that better and discover better projects with that if anybody already have started project with the idea you discovered. You can discover another idea with your talent when you have discovered an idea at past so you can also start a brand new project.

You would really got frustrated when you do see someone who do stole up your idea but the thing you said on reporting then its possible but I do see it cant do much thing for them to stop since they do get your idea.The only thing you can show off is the full concept which cant really be stole upon you.

No one would really able to copy unique ideas came to your mind since you do start the idea you would really have the full scale of it which others cant really copy on.

In general, If your idea is really taken, then you must accept the truth of this loss and deal with it. As well, You should not stand on this opportunity that you have not exploited. And  from my opinion the best solution for this problem is progress, that means you must forget the past and learn from this experience and start again in the search for new ideas. and it is certain that these thoughts will be better than the last.

Furthermore, the most important thing is to achieve these ideas in fact, also exploitation of opportunities is very essential to realizate your goals.

Although i have felt a bit resentful, I will continue to advance as a competitor and must be the best to beat them. Because in my opinion, this can not be let they must be reminded they must be reminded that "they" have stolen "the work of others".

Ideas we have are already our possession. i get your point to move on and make a better one since we ourselves know the specs and features of the idea but we have to think of the legal matters. If the ideas have been patented under our name, we can file a suite. That's the best way to do. We have to claim our rights.

It will be easier for to make a better one since you already knew the flaws of the initial project. If you release the project the same time there is a tendency that you get 50-50 since project is the same but if you let him do what he do then you make a better one I could say that your project will be productive.

of course I will continue, if your idea is already in use you must have a backup idea
What I mean is plan B, you have to be ready from the start to start and not just rely on one material, you will not feel unmatched, desperate and quit.
Use your brain to think properly and keep the patient locked and optimistic
because there is no success in a short time

Did you make your idea into reality and have a copyright for your idea? If yes then you can take the person or organization who took your idea on but one thing we should bear in mind is that ideas are not in the head of only one person. One idea can be in the mind of two or more different persons even at the same time and place.
If your idea has not been put into reality then i think it will be an opportunity for you to also modify and add more value to what has been taken from you. You have the idea and you can execute it better and best.

Just give project online, don't enter in the deep level execution,  but u suggest don't worry to much. Some time ideas are nothing until the action plan. So don't worry

The OP started the topic last August 2017 so I think he already decided what to do with it, anyway if I am with his shoe, I would still continue what I have started especially when I found it very interesting. Don't back out why would  you do that right? I hope that he pursue it, even if you idea was taken by someone and you cannot do any proof that it was yours, then still pursue and do everything to make your idea successful.

If is stolen I would get so mad but if someone really though with the same mentality as me and made a move before me i would offer my collaboration and do the idea together

Launch as a competition but add other things that will make your product stand out from the competitors

Collaborating would not be easy because that team or company has already launched before you and may become the market leader if such projects do not exists. So chances become slim as they themselves would like to have the market share rather than sharing with others. Yes if such projects do already exists than its better to have more on boards so that your project become more effective than the existing ones.

I believe the best thing you can do is nothing, i mean if you don't have patent for that thing i believe that's the time you can sue her or him for mimicking it. But as long as you don't have any, i believe that's the best thing you can do. But in a simple scenario, i believe proving them that you're the one who really think about that one is the best one. and it's also a best shotgun for the one who replicates you.

If you think that you would be able to execute it better, then I suggest to push with your idea. Someone may have stole it (or possibly thought of the same idea) and the best way to combat that is to make your idea better than the copied one.

Unfortunately, there's no way for you to protect your idea even if it's originally yours. The best way to have some protection is to execute it. That way, you can have some copyright. By turning it into an actual project, then you can have some rights over it and have it protected.

There's no time to mourn about the "stolen ideas", you have the right of owning your idea. If you really own the idea so prove it by making yours worth more than your competitor. Look for more selling points that the others don't have, and be proud of it.

if you create an idea you can develop that idea even more. while people who steal your idea will be silent when you see your idea is more developed than the idea at the stolen

Be unique with your idea make it proved that you are the original,stole it from yours but they did not actually get it all.It is good to have a planned that you have more idea than that in that case you'll not be gone and they get it from yours ,atleast you are the original who made it.Just continue it a plan B or C to make it developed better.

This would be only on slim chances of cases where if they would able launch out without any competition or do have the unique concept which is originally yours and did able to get attention on the community then market share would really be generally belonged to them not yours and you will end up to be the one who would copy on the idea in the end because people do already see it first into what they do saw recently.

I have nothing to do on that, even that I idea is mine. At first, its my fault to know others about my concept and idea. But I still do and go on what I have started. Maybe I will improved my idea so that it will be unique and more attracted to other people. And If it really happened, I will be sensitive to all people I talked. I will trust only myself. Everyone Idea is Unique. 

I will try to do it much better than anyone else, because it's my idea and nobody can do it better

Go ahead with some innovation. That is bad condition, we should be better from the first one. People will choose the first one rather than the next. World is full of competition, don't give up, anything will not end if we don't give up.

Everyone has the unique idea.Sometimes,we place in the situation that our idea is taken by others.After all the hardships and work we did.First I am going to upset and maybe prostrated.But I will not stopped to think some more good idea.If we are confident to the project that we work idea,we cannot afraid to work for hard for the good and unique ideas.

Exchangers is one of the most used ideas/project out there but the battle between them is been set to their performance that's why we can see that some of them rise and some of them get down since the uniqueness is one of the best key for success, and we should think that competition is just there and we need to work hard to gain success.

And Business tracks will be Boring if no competitors would bring up some competition since it can make us learn to improve and create new ideas.  ;D

I will stop working on it.  :'(

For me it's better to compete your idea, and make it better than the first time it was made. Try to know what are the weaknesses itself and use it to the one who taking it.

I will not stop and I will be more enthusiastic about this, I am not a loser

I think of an other idea if my idea is taken by another person i will think of much better and have sense  :)

I think it depends on how deeply you are invested into this idea. how far are you into coding this?

buying domain names around your idea sometimes works, its a gamble

As long as your idea has improvements then I dont see a problem with launching after someone else who has the same idea. Thats how technology evolves.

There are laws for every country and the law would definitely define which best suits your claim,  COPYRIGHT, PATENT  comes to mind right now.

Just because someone else has done it first doesn't mean you cant succeed. One good example is google, its not the first search engine yet they managed to succeed beating their competitors. I dont want to ditch whats already in my mind so I will still go on with my ideas, what important is how you execute your own project.

I will improve my product/service to obtain the spot where I should be. Dont get discouraged easily, move forward and work hard thats the main key.

If you think someone has stolen your idea, the first thing to do is…nothing. Emotions can run high when it comes to attribution, so don’t let your anger get away with you (or stymie a chance for real resolution).
The best thing you can do is take a pause and give your emotions and your mind a bit of time to cool off before acting. Make room for mindfulness in your daily routine so that stressful moments like this will find you ready to respond peacefully

As a business minded person you will eventually think off these things which will really strive you to make good ideas which arent present on current business on where you would compete of and its really much better but everyone would really think that it much better to have no competition at all so that they would able to solo the market when it comes to profits which is good but sooner or later there would really businesses which would really try to compete and the cycle on competing on each other will long last.

we always think that our idea is unique but actually it is not, someone had or is doing the project on same idea.getting a new idea is very difficult and protecting and make it successful is more difficult.and even if my idea is taken then also continue working towards it and do better then other similar project.

Like they saying goes, "there is nothing new under the sun". So the idea you have, someone already has it, or someone is already working on it somewhere. But, never give up and go back in the closet. The truth is that an idea can be broad, so it depends on how you approach it. Like another saying goes "There are different ways to kill a cat". I think you should keep working on the idea and use a unique way of doing the same thing. For example you can choose a niche market to serve rather than the entire broad market which you may have initially thought about. The more research you do about the niche market, you would realize that their needs would be different, and there are certain steps or processes which only work for them. With that you will come up with an innovative or new approach to deal with that. So, same broad idea, but narrowed down bespoke solution, and you can become the master of that. The truth is that innovation doesn't necessary mean a totally new idea out of the blue, it most often means finding newer improved ways to do the same old things. Stick to your idea, especially if you are really passionate about it, research it deeply and you would uncover something the rest haven't. 

Having a competitor is actually an indication that your idea is good! Think of it as challenge and have fun doing it.

They might have the same idea but I know that there are still some differences on the context. If your idea is much better then execute it asap.

If you are really passionate about your idea, than do it.
Screw the competition. If you want it more and work harder on it, they'll be scared  ;)

If your idea is taken by others you should inhance it or upgrade it or else create/think a new one their are different context of the idea that you have. Uniqueness is the way to success.

I think if your idea has a good foundation, you will just have to continue. and ensure that your idea gets a better result that you compete

I would felt bad if this case happened to me but then I will just have to move on and be very careful to safeguard the confidentiallity of my idea before revailing it to the public.  Learn a lesson from it, and use it in future ideas.

Don't give it up right away!

How big is the market? Is the competition well funded? Do you have a sense of how many customers/users they have?

So long as you can compete in customer acquisition and the market is big enough, there's no reason to quit just yet. It takes years for companies to reach critical mass and there's usually room for more than one player. Try and think a little bit about how to differentiate yourself.

Good luck!

The idea is worth nothing without execution. If you are really passionate about the idea, you can overperform competition.

Also, if we are talking about blockchain project, you should see what your competition is doing and improve it in some context. If both of you have the same idea, it's not realistic that execution will be the same. It will be so much different and do your best to execute it better.

Well if your idea is taken you should move on and create or build another much better idea and make sure that it is already secured or safe so that it will never stolen again by other people.Learn to secure all your projects before presenting it to anyone.

before we make the project, and we have a good idea for a project. let us not tell anyone about our idea. we have to keep it a secret, and secure it. if that's the case, let's just leave it and we'll come up with a new idea.

You have a good idea but your idea has been taken by others. If you have registered for copyright, you have the right to sue and to make compensation. Or you can sell your copy to others. You do not have to do better than what others do. Products must be more reputable and quality than your competitors.

I actually think you have nothing to worry about - unless your idea had no legal protection and they have fully copied. Even in this case you don't have to give up - you can always differentiate your service offering in terms of marketing. You just need to obtain a wide media coverage - both press and social media and also change your positioning so that the projects are not perceived like twins by your target audience.
Hope you'll find the best solution!

I don't think so that his Idea was fully copied since he stated that his project is not yet started so no one can ever touch his whitepaper except him. I believe that his idea is too common that's why it was taken too by others.


My suggestion to OP is if the market of your idea is still in demand then proceed as competitor but if it's too saturated just like e-commerce, loan and etc then back out and  take another course. There is so many ideas that still not discovered that fitted on blockchain.

There are identical project has been running right now so I don't think there's something wrong to pursue that idea, But we make sure that we can implement it so that the people will see and choose to use the service we provide. And if there's someone will exist who's the same with us? well let people go decide on which service provider are good and which is not.

Firstly, it us 'an' idea. The fact you thought about it doesn't mean someone else can't. Great minds they say, think alike.

Theres more to an idea: Process, plan e.t.c.
You have to put it all together, in order to create something. If someone dude it first cause maybe you face too much away. Fair play!

If you give up because someone stole your idea then you really didn't have any business pursuing it in the first place. You would inevitably face an obstacle and give up on it. In order to successfully implement your idea you need a passion for it and do whatever it takes to get it up and running. This is the mentality you need. Think of any product or service, then see how many competitors they have. First movers advantage is important, but if its only an idea you do not actually claim it unless its patented. As others have said an idea is a dime a dozen, what matters is the end goal and implementation.

That would be the best solution imo. Great ideas come to mind of different people almost simultaneously since the beginning of times. But the one who can explain it the best and who can bring it to life is the winner. OP shouldn't worry about whether his idea is stolen or not, but should rather concentrate on implementing it.

Who do have the best implementation and progress would really be the winner because people would really come after to the project even though have the same concept but if the main idea or plan on how both parties would able to handle it out then there would be differences since not all people do have the same idea even if it was stolen it cant really avoid the fact that other or the original ones would always have things being backed up.

It's almost impossible to be original nowadays. See competition as validation: if others are doing it too, you must be on the right track. If no one is doing what you're doing, you're either a genius or you're going in the wrong direction.

If my idea is taken or stolen by other, I will continue to do the idea as it must be the uniqueness of original idea compared to the stolen/taken one. So try to find the uniqueness of my idea then highlight the uniqueness as a differentitor .

Even if someone copied your idea, I believe everyone has his/her unique way of doing the thing. I suggest that you start doing it and prove that you can do it way better than the one who copied.

If it is still on the way so do not quit because you still have a chance to make a better version of it. My advice to you is to sit back and think of how to repackage your idea in a way that will be different from the original one that was stolen from you. And add features that make it better than the competition. Competition is good. Competition will make you better. cheers.

for me create another ideal and this time make sure you don't  discuses it with anybody.
always launch out before you spreed the news about any project.

You should not give up.  Instead see it as a challenge to improve yourself and strive hard to achieve the goals. 

Idea itself doesnt matter; Its the execution that decides which one gonna be success.

Moreover you dont need to be dishearten by the fact your idea is taken up by someone else as well.

You need to to work out on to make it better and different from the first place.

if you may be better than them, it will continue, starting after no meaning that is failed

I think so, it's very intresting proposition!
When you have the seeds of an idea, you should defend it and let the project go as soon as possible, because there will be many people who share the same ideas as yours ;D :D

Never give up. difficult is not something that makes me hesitate, I will definitely find ways to do it.

You must continue what you've started, you don't have to be worry that your is taken the important is you know in yourself that you can do better than them. Continue and prove to them your very best that you will do that project. In life there is always a competition where you can prove how great you are no matter how hard it is.

Dont worry about the others, first worry about yourself and try to earnestly develop and improve your idea, you won't know unless you really tried.

Competition is the driving force of the free market economy - so it is actually good - someone has already thought that the idea has potential.

Your idea matches but for sure there will still be some differences. Work your own but let them introduce their project first. Since you have the blue print when the project is still an idea, compare it with and make a better version of your own which resolves problems or lapses that the other has. :)

For me, you should not continue it but hence, dissect your idea into smaller pieces and derive something else out of it. Since if they launched the project first, they will be the first to get the market.

It was a little difficult to give you the right advice, since you weren’t specific about what it was you were working on. Not having any competition and working with a project original only to you is rare in this day and age. Again, it all really depends what it is you’re working with to deem it “worth it” or not. Let’s consider some factors that apply outside of the cryptocurrency market as well. If you have virtually the same product with virtually the same marketing materials, working within the same small market… and your competitor can spend significantly more than you in ad space.. by default, your competitor is going to have the advantage. Now if you can create your own original, more shareable content that can successfully speak directly to your target market and pull them in more efficiently than your competitor, you just may have a chance. The focus here is your ad content. Whatever the product, even if it’s been sold since the dawn of time.. you can still outsell major competitors with your content. Make sure your content grabs attention and elicits emotional well enough to push for action.

If my idea is taken, I will search for a new idea to disrupt my earlier idea

Going back to the closet is to think and creat a new idea again. If you are sharing ideas, it should be with people whom are with you, not people who wants to steal from you to make their things go better. That is why a trustworthy partner is whom is need to make things work out well.

No problem, someone can take my idea but they can not take my action

We all have different approach to even the same idea, that is what make us unique. The approach someone with your idea use in executing the idea cannot be exactly the same thing with yours and so you don't expect exactly the same outcome. If you concentrate more in executing the same idea in a more superior way you will definitely have an edge over the other person.
