hahaha you want them to open source at the early stage so, that you people can copy paste it???
i would never want them to public their offshore code
forcing them to closed source would be ok also. It's basically proven the system can be hacked soon you have seen the code.
also you can't call it "cryptocoin" when it's closed source. because the most important feature of a cryptocoin is the "consensus". There is zero consensous when it's closed source.
Like he stated, a bunch of geniuses will love to copy the code in this early stages and claim that its theirs while quipping that the source is a scam. So, i don't blame them for keeping it closed, when you have vultures utilizing your name/ideas to push their unoriginal agendas.
