Handle a new idea

[gravitate]

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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