yeah, this is true, can't compare the fees at this point. Sure, you can compare the tech, but not the fees until it gets users on board. But i don't agree with you in regards to being open source from the start. Although i am against closed source projects, i do agree with getting a head start and after that going open source. The crypto field is like the pharmaceutical field; New tech needs to be held hidden until a certain point is reached or all your work can be swept under you in a second. No point in debating what someone with a thousand times more resources than you can achieve, given he has access to your work.
