Checking a preconceived notion against reality. Boa 2018/06/30 (Sat) 06:44:02 No.1724

Am I projecting when I assume that for the most part Alice's each have some coveted ideas that they'd like to be able to discuss and brain storm with others; but don't out of fear of having their ideas stolen/not credited to them?

Or am I right to make that assumption?

Basically treat this as a survey and please post weather the above applies to you or not, there will be a bias of people it does apply to more consistently replying, so pls tell me if the above isn't true for yourself.

Also (and i'm pretty sure the answers no to this)
Is there a methodology that Alice's could conduct themselves by that would allow for them to share such information with limited/no worry?

Here just to see other people's stuff – not that creative.

yes, PGP encryption. Basically you generate your own public/private keypair and people can verify you were the original sender of an idea by having you encrypt your message with your private key. If they can then decrypt the message successfully with your public key (which you share with them on here or wherever), they know it was you. Could also use openssl with rsautl to encrypt stuff but it would only work on smaller messages.

I don't fear having my idea stolen, people are lazy. I really wish someone could stole my ideas and make all the softwares that I wish it existed.

Gosh this.

I would far rather have an idea get stolen than to have it go to waste. I have only so much time to pursue some of my thoughts.

I do not post my ideas because when I did nobody replied.

Right, but even if you prove the idea was yours what means do you have to keep its execution under control, I'd fear having my ideas poorly executed and failing because of that and not their actual merit, or having a soykafty half assed version become what's popular.

What idea should you like me to steal >(implying I'd have the means to, but tell me anyway pls I'm curious)

Btw way ill tally up the feed back after a while and see what the consensus of the thread is

I don't really care if someone implements or creates something based off my ideas. Generally the only reason I don't share my ideas is because I'm working on them myself and I don't want to ruin my motivation by going into detail about it to others.

I don't really care much for being credited for my own work either, I'd rather just have what I make be used by others.

Do you have any finished work?, I'd like to see it.

Most of it is "finished" as in it's working at a basic level, but there's probably only one project in there that I couldn't really add anything to at this point.

Ah yeah there's really no natural way to prevent others from stealing your IP. That's a problem everyone has not indigenous to here ;w;

The trick is to just regard it as public property.

>coveted ideas
Not really ideas, but I keep my software/game concepts secret, until they're complete

>Is there a methodology that Alice's could conduct themselves by that would allow for them to share such information with limited/no worry?
This is more interesting, I share my ideas sometimes but in a very general sense, where it could be interpreted as the mumblings of a silly idea guy. I dunno what it serves.

This actually. Fuck IP. The only ones who truly have the ability to protect their "intellectual property" are corporations. The concept was made for them.

I sometimes am afraid of sharing my one big idea, mostly for not being credited and losing the kind of omnipotence that comes with it.

However, the idea is obviously bigger than me which means I never had the idea, the idea is having me. In moments of clarity when I understand the idea clearly, it doesn't really matter what happens to me, as I am just a tiny part of, a specific case of the idea.
