Screenshot from this Lithuanian payment processor (bitmarket.lt/mistertango.com/payweb.lt; don't ask me why they use three different brands, but it's the same company):


Screenshot from BitPay:



Find 5 differences? I think not...

I don't see anything inherently bad in copying, but there are two very different things:

1. Copying something, and improving/changing/adding new features.

2. Copying something, and then selling the identical copy for a higher price than the original thing cost. This is because as you see in the screenshots, they ask more BTC for the same amount of FIAT (both invoices were generated at the same time).

I wanted to inform you of this, and also to hear your opinions. Is this kind of copying acceptable, or not?

so if someone copy someones else idea, is there a problem with that?  Competition makes the market healthy and helps out with the advertising aspect of it also.
