ok, so you are saying that you could easily recreate NodeCoin???

As i recall Node's distribution was so-so, something a long side of NEM not something you should consider copying!

As of Cripty - haven't followed them since their IPO - they gathered more than 700BTC at that time @500$! Not a lot of money to create a global infrastructure but still a significant amount for a startup! And i guess they failed to cover their promises!

As an investor, if you will provide a good business plan, a well thought road map, and prove that you are capable of organising stuff, i might consider investing a couple of bitcoins!

Take your time, and don't rush in to it!
