>I'll stop far short of this requirement when talking about Steem. What you're describing is a smart-contract and we just don't have that feature on Steem.

Nope, not talking about smart contracts, but development. You totally could put code updates on Steem. You'd just have to make your own interface. It even does edits the same way that git does, a diff. I'm not talking about the code actually running on Steem, just the development.

>A scam is only one situation.

Yep. I was using it as a humorous example. Even above that as a reason would likely be paranoia, but one doesn't have to be paranoid for people to actually be out to get you. The corporate world is fucked up and cutthroat. People actually do steal ideas. Of course, many people are incompetent, so if you can do better than them, you might have a chance.

>it's ideal not to call people retards when they ask questions about the technology.

They aren't doing so well with the public relations so far...
