I wonder if the developer's reaction would have been the same if a 'small' mobile phone operator 'stole' the idea.
Or better yet, if Safaricom 'stole' the idea when m-pesa users were about 5,000 ?
Since the idea has been stolen, why not focus on improving your product ? do market research , add more features...

Safaricom's response on the same page is very telling on the weaknesses developers have in sharing their ideas. As long as you are sharing an idea, I can recreate it in a different way and come up with a different idea. Sharing a product is however different.

This is something that is not new and not unless as developers or ICT community look for a long term solution to this(queen bee) it shall continue to happen, just look at the history:
MPESA PRSP - SEMATIME - where all their sms were blocked by safaricom EQUITY FAULU SEVEVSEAS MANYATTA RENT
the list is endless.

Out of a possible population of 7 billion + humans, it is naive to think your idea is unique.
It is also naive to think Safaricom will only use MPesa to send money to your grandmother / family. Safaicom *WILL *take MPesa to its logical conclusion which is ubiquitous payments.
