What info would you like to know? Specifics regarding the coin can not be discussed on a public forum for obvious reasons, but I will answer any questions I can without giving too much away.

What are the obvious reasons? Of the few that have posted ideas for different ways of doing it, none have been implemented. Nobody here does anything except copy code and change a few variables. Unless you are doing something other than copying bitcoin for 99.9% of your code, your idea is probably underwhelming too regardless if there is some perceived market for it.

Agreed 100%, already this person is trying to hide and or corner and idea for himself which shows clearly already that this project will be about themselves being served and not any kind of community.

Ill give some advice to the op...if you have an idea and its "all ready to be implemented" then sharing the idea with the public is only right, usually the idea costs more money and time to get it out before you..but what you have to remember is that this is a community thing and you want to already hide things from the public.. and that throws alarm bells up for me. If you are not ready to talk to this community here in this forum about your idea and get it realized publicly then you don't belong here and you don't get what open source is.

Do you actually not understand why I am not able to answer detailed specifics regarding the coin? I don't see any of your unanswered questions sitting around, but maybe I missed them. The reason I am "trying to hide and/or corner an idea for myself", as you put it, is not about self-serving interests, it's about not being an idiot and posting an undeveloped project on a public forum for other people to steal. Your assumptions are absolutely ridiculous and completely unfounded.

I'm not "already hiding things from the public", as you say. This is not a press release, or any sort of release of public information. I'm asking for interested parties to contact me. Any person I discuss this with would be required to sign an NDA.

If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. But I do not appreciate your attitude regarding my post.
I still think you are not getting it..You don't own a coin, if you release one its for a good cause but if you hide the details and get NDA signed mate! you are trying to corner the idea and you are not really contributing anything..And for someone to "steal". Someone has to own it first..I think you need to go back to the drawing board here and work out what space you are in here because it certainly is not a ripple space!

No, I think you're still not getting it. I'm not saying I "own the coin". I want to develop the coin. I want to create the coin. Do you not understand how every single coin you've ever mined or invested in works? Every single one of them, someone at some point thought "Hey, this would be a good idea" or "Hey, this would be a good scam" and went and got a team together and created it. The fact that you don't have a basic understanding of this makes me not care about your opinion in the slightest, because someone as astonishingly simple as you would be of no use to me.

TL;DU (Too long, didn't understand): I have an idea. That idea is for a crypto coin for a certain industry, with a certain use. The idea has not been done before. I am currently looking for people who would be interested in developing it with me. Releasing specific details about the coin would be idiotic, if you don't understand this, you're an idiot.
