what do you do when your idea is taken ?

[Betwrong]

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.

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.

[morningtime]

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.

[hurry_hore]

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 ?

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 .

[TheBraveDesolator]

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.

[chibimanau]

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.

[jcemos9bt]

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. 

[Danish Mohiuddin]

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.

[Hodlvcl]

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

[ann_82]

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

[Dinhvantam]

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

[Lorin]

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.

[xtiansor]

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.

[privatum]

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

[CryptoKu-een]

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.

[CryptoVerseStudent]

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.

[chalbinov]

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

[osasshem]

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.
