Compartmentalize the project into smaller and smaller subsections until each person working on a piece is unable to see the bigger picture. All information is on a need-to-know basis.

This will dramatically increase costs and development time however, and workers will require more oversight.

You could create a cryptocurrency where nodes rate the validity of business ideas and a higher amount of tokens held unlocks access to higher graded business ideas. Anybody can submit a whitepaper and are then rewarded by tokens when a node verifies it as a legitimate business idea. The higher the grade, the more tokens one receives. Nodes are then retroactively graded by the success or failure the implementation of the business plan had in real world economy and are accordingly deducted or rewarded for accuracy of their rating which is then weighed to average the total node rating of a whitepaper. The highest rated nodes also receive tokens. Everything is kept perfectly anonymous and decentralized. It could usher in the 4th industrial revolution as the invisible darwinian hand super-accelerates our capacity for developing and carrying out the best business practices.

Before you buy, let me tell you a story.
I was visiting San Francisco to see one of my friends. We went to a strip club, and while I was there, I saw Sergey, surrounded by women. He was throwing tons of money at them, but not just bills. It was stacks upon stacks of $10,000, sealed up with the white paper bands, like he had just come straight from a bank.
I went up to him and congratulated him on the success of Chainlink as of late (this was about a month ago), and he started laughing. He took a hefty swig from a bottle of Dom Perignon, and said, "Yeah? You think I care, stinky?"
Confused, I asked what he meant, and said that he had obviously put a lot of work into LINK and he should be proud.
"Fundamentally, I don't give two fucks about Chainlink, kid."
He was about to say something else but one of the strippers tapped him on the shoulder. Sergey pulled out from his pocket the biggest ziplock bag full of cocaine I've ever seen in my life. It looked like one of those gallon bags, almost bulging at the seams. The stripper ran off into a back room with it.
He then pulled out a Zippo lighter.
"You wanna know what I think about Chainlink?"
He snapped his fingers and a stripper handed him a bottle of Hennessy. He then pulled about 20 stacks of bills from a duffel bag, threw them on the floor, poured cognac all over them, flicked his Zippo, and dropped it onto the pile. Almost instantly the whole stack caught.
I stared at him, speechless.
"It's called a 'PUMP and DUMP,' kid."
He laughed as he watched the pile burn before losing interest and going into a back room with his entourage of strippers following carrying duffel bags full of what I assume was money and coke.
This is the man you are supporting by buying LINK.

because everyone has ideas all the time and nobody is interested in stealing "ideas". Ideas are worthless, execution is everything. So either do it or stfu. What even is this software thing that you can't just make an mvp of by yourself? That's basically impossible nowadays, unless you can't program of course.

the best way to learn to program is when you actually have a real-world project you're passionate about and can see your progress manifest. Learning programming when you have no goal, when you're just following steps, going through motions, is a huge chore, but with that big project in mind it will be easy to learn and very satisfying.

listen to the incels guy.
Can't get help because will be stolen.
Can't get a patent coz patent office will steal it.
Can't even google it coz google will steal it.

Did you consider that once you get it released (which you clearly won't), someone just needs to implement it slightly better than you (because they talked to people about it and aren't retarded) and you're back to where you are now. Just talk about it or forget about it.

Do a provisional patent yourself. Its $40 for a single drawing, you need to google for a company that specializes in patent drawings. Then go to the U.S patent website and fill out the form for a provisional patent and save the PDF. Then you need to write a Specification, details of how the invention works. Stanford University has a Specification template to follow but you should also youtube how to do a provisional patent yourself for more advice on this. Once all 3 documents, the drawing, Specification and U.S patent application are ready, submit them electronically through the U.S patent website for about $125. Should take you a week to get the drawing. This puts your idea on patent pending status for 12 months until you can commercialize it. Still try to protect your idea and look at other similar patents to yours for guidance on how to write your Specification.

OPs idea is something along the lines of:

>Uber for some other service
>Social media for an "untapped" nieche
>A variation of whatever is big, but "different"

Even if it's not, it probably isn't that great. OP comes of like a schizophrenic person, just that instead of it being "the CIA is following me" it's "I have a billion dollar idea". Listen OP, someone mentioned Steve Jobs in the thread. The reason he got big is because he was a great businessman, proactive, and opportunistic, same with Bill Gates. All the cucks who think their strength was"tech" are deluded beyond belief. Watch a documentary on either one of them, of course they understood tech, but neither came up with their ideas, they stole it off another sucker who was too braindead to monetize it (like OP). The Tech Messiahs are really The Business Cowboys from Hell.

Steve Jobs wasn't a programmer at Apple, dummy. As far as I know, he never wrote a single line of code, when he worked at Atari, he designed circuits, not code. And, Jobs didn't design any of the apple products that they sold. He was the marketing guy.

Summed up 95%+ of business and startup people. You can get rich with a beat to death idea if you do it right and deliver results. Most retards are just looking for that one idea that'll make them big, when nobody who is top 1% got there sitting on their couch thinking. This is the exact same problem incels have, but applied to money.

The era of Product-oriented software businesses is fading. Read this 8 year old blog post, all of which is even more true today: https://gist.github.com/chitchcock/1281611

The tech doesn't have to be perfect, but focusing solely on products while not working on your platform is a bad idea. Product is important, but less important than ever for software companies

I was saying there are very few steve jobs who are good at coming up with product ideas. I'm basically regurgitating this blog post >>16179793

It's much more reasonable to have an average idea and an average tech implementation.

Op heres a statistic I would like to share.

Only .1% of people who see see or read something act on it. This is backed up by impulse advertisment data.

I would imagine when that something is a multi-level project like starting a buisness even less act on that advice and even less follow through.

This is why you don't see kickstarters getting ripped off most of the time. You can tell people everything about your idea and they still wont give a fuck. People don't know how to monetize, they can't see the niche your trying to fill, they think your idea is stupid and they think your stupid. Investing is being able to really drill down and find when another person's idea is valuable. Entrepenuership is being able to take your head out of your ass and realize how to show value to others.

I'm on the same boat. I'm considering moving to San Francisco and spending every waking hour trying to charm some genius comp sci twink just so I can get this project going. My idea is on the very edge of current tech trends, haven't heard anything similar to it anywhere (but let's face it, there's most likely someone working on it already). I have the business model figured out, I have the perfect exit strategy, I have an MBA, I have managed businesses before (my own with a decently sized team), I am a very capable pitcher, I have access to angel investors, I know what the perfect proof of concept to hook them in would be. But I'm lacking execution. I couldn't code a single line of anything (nor do I know anyone who could), and the time it would take me to learn it would make me miss the train. Fuck this.

To tack on with this, if people actually want to steal your idea it's a bad idea. People are stupid and lazy, if they think your idea is good and want to steal it, its a stupid idea and your probably lazy.

When I see a can of coke I imagine the supply line. Somebody had to buy ingredients, materials, a factory, transportation, regulations, advertising, management, r&d, ect ect. And pay salaries for everyone involved in that.

All that and the case of coke I'm looking at has 7 bottles for 1.69 each. Fucking pocket change. If someone told me they planned to set all that up and then sell the final product for fucking pocket change I would probably laugh my ass off at them and tell them it would never work.

I had the exact idea for nextdoor long before it existed, and I was too lazy to do anything about it. I told myself someone smarter and with more resources was probably already building it anyway. Never thought about it much until nearly a decade later I got a postcard in the mail inviting me to join nextdoor. I wanted to jump off a bridge.

Just thought I'd provide you some extra motivation. Pursue your idea relentlessly.
