food for thought - points for discussion - words off my chest ...
either way - just needed to share - as im interested in what people think of such things - hence why i bring them up ...
anyway - below is a cut n paste ... and link ...

Dark Markets on the bitcoin blockchain? Now your payment can be tracked, and the location of illegal deals will be put on the blockchain.
This really is nonsense, but its a sense of how much demand there is for decentralised services.

Open Bazaar on ServiceNodes, anyone?
we have been looking at openbazaar for a long time now ...
on SN? ... sounds good Wink ...
but how? ...

At this point, from my part, development of service node applications and use cases is going to start being a little more reserved. I've heard rumors that xyz project is looking to do things very similar to what I've seen discussed here.
We'll have to figure out a way to resolve this issue. I don't like being guarded, but SPR could go from being worth $20k market cap to $20m market cap in the next 12-18 months, but not if we spill the beans before we have the chance to make hey.
being open sourced and open to the public - it wouldnt make much of a difference if it was guarded or not mate ...
knowing that 'this coin' or 'that coin' is the 'first' to come out with it means nothing in the long term ... only quality of product ...
ideas cannot be secretive here UNLESS we have a closed environment - which is impossible in this space ...
i have mentioned many many many times of a 'team' that is actually HEADED by a member that is considered ( and probably voted in ) as the one that spearheads this development - only to have this 'corporate style' of teamwork thrown back at me for the mere mention of it ...
ideas will NEVER be secure unless you have a team of dedicated devs and marketers and enthusiasts that not only work together - but also run under ONE 'law' ( for lack of a better word ) ...
the most successful 'teams' in the world work this way as do corporates and non-profit organizations alike ... leaders are just that - LEADERS ...
if spr is going to go anywhere with these 'plans' and ideas - it needs to follow an IDEAL then be directed by ONE team spearheaded by ONE LEADER backed by community ideas ...
but who am i to know any of this stuff? ... as far as anyone is concerned here - all this will fall on deaf ears mostly - AND spr will only fumble its way through ... which is quite sad - as this 'other' coin you are talking about is a well oiled machine running in almost exactly this way ...
guess who is going to come out ( and still is so far ) on top? ...
