Don't get me wrong, I would understand if he took your code line by line and put his name on it. You would most definitely have a reason to piss and moan. But he DID write this from scratch. And the only similarity would be the GUI. Which you can't complain about, as it's considered fair use.
So stuff your stupid complaints back up your ass, they're not warranted, and nobody wants to hear about it.
You're pissed off because he got more rep for releasing this to the entire community, than you got for releasing it to the 30+ rep members. Not only that, he's been incredibly nice to you, and put up with your stupid ass bitching the entire time. Not once flaming you, or saying the idea was his from the start. Get your head out of your ass and see the light of day.
I never gave you rep for SafeTrade. Why? Because you were attempting to make people pay for it, and requiring people to meet the requirements you set. That is a scam. gosmo has done nothing wrong but build something similar, that doesn't require money, or rep to get. It's as simple as that.
While I agree, when he named it SafeTrade to start with, it was not a smart idea. He didn't complain once when he was asked to change the name. That happens a lot.
I thoroughly believe in open source, free software. (Scam Tools Suite is the exception, as it has some code I don't want Blizzard to be able to read easily)
So please, before you go whining about how "the scam is ruined now!!!", at least think logically for a minute. You released your method/program in a publicly visible thread, with a guide AND screenshots of the program. You honestly think people won't know about it because people with less than 30 rep can't get the program? I can go find a YT vid with your program in it, and make it my own fairly easily. So don't keep claiming the scam is dead, when it's clearly not, and if it were dead, it would be your own damned fault for killing it. (You released it, you wrote the guide, YOU supplied the screenshots. All of which contribute to killing it.)
Also, from what I remember, you didn't even WRITE the program. So again, get your head out of your ass. gosmo deserves more recognition for his work than you do. You're starting to sound like Hasbro. Who's only in it for the money, and the e-peen enlargement.
As I've said gosmo, if you need any help with the programming aspect, let me know. I'll be glad to help.
