This should be
obvious to everyone --
Case in point - NXTL and NAS are both NXT clones!
Answer me this - Do they add to NXT's value or simply take away NXT's market share???
I believe the later is the truth (Just take a look at coinmarketcap and see how NXT is performing lately)
So I'm curious how anyone in his or her right mind would advocate releasing the source early (if at all)??
To nextgencoin,
There is an advantage in hiring or paying for people who
are not anonymous!
We will gain credibility and get good publicity instantly!
Of course we can find good devs here on Bitcointalk.. but the problem is that most of them would choose to remain anonymous and not publish their real names...
With real people, we will gain mainstream recognition. And that is a BIG plus in my opinion.

I'd like to elaborate further --
The purpose of a Qora Code Review is 3-fold:
1. Gain mainstream recognition and obtain great publicity (it'll be great if we can get someone with media connection). That's why I'm against having anonymous devs reviewing the code.
2. Recruiting potential candidates to join Qora dev team. Please remember that we need to expand the dev team eventually (to work on mobile app and a new GUI.. so forth). By showing the QORA code to them, we will be able to gain their support, and screen potential candidate (they will provide a critique of existing code and tell us how they will contribute).
3. Earn Investor's Trust & Confidence -- Price will SHOOT up if we can find devs with recognizable names to review the code.
Good you agree. But I think you idea is a little bit grand. There are plenty of trusted talented coders here on this forum. Some involved with NXT development would be good.
