Premine sizes can range from 1000 to 500k usually. If you are really good though you can sell the premine high and buy back in low and make a million easy.

Interesting and what is the price to hire programmer for writting one? I am wondering as investment and to support cryptos how much would it cost to hire programmer making improved crypto either on hashing side, or something else.

You're looking at 50 bucks, a case a beer, and a ounce of kind bud.

Are you serious about 50 bucks? I am not sure how much work goes into programming currency but please if you can clarify i would appretiate it.

Maybe you guys should contact that Cryptogirl about Sasha Grey coin. Put her as OP. It would be funny to have a flagged OP, with a history of worst IPO scam ever tried.. I think she even said something like 'if you can't f*** Sasha Grey you can mine it', sounds better then most slogans around here..

Hah....

are you serious.

Profits depends on so many things that you could not I guess imagine.

1st and MOST important thing is : is your new coin going to be useful. Will people use it. Will some shops accept it as they accept Bitcoin.

And 2nd most important thing is: will you be lucky :)

"Retire at the age of 18"

Haha, i like that part.


"1st and MOST important thing is : is your new coin going to be useful. Will people use it. Will some shops accept it as they accept Bitcoin.

I know profit is dependent on many things thats why i was mostly asking for real numbers in case if someone has them or be wiling to share them how much some other developers of 100 coins exchanged on cryptis made.

This depends on how many insiders you have at the start.

And how many conferences you attend.

Can't be that "late" or the supply of new "me too" coins would have dried up by now ..

Can be perhaps profitable, but most of the coins won't make it nowhere near any exchange or other possibility of selling the coins.
Depends on coin quality and how good dev are you, or how good dev you can hire .... and how good "marketing" and other stuff can you do for the coin.

For a "copycat" coin (just change a name, etc ...), there is close to zero investment, but also xclose to zero chance to get to any market ...
and for quality coin that would have decent chance of getting to a market - you'll find out that you have to spend some effort and/or money on improving and promoting a coin ....

In both cases, there is quite high risk that you end up without any profit and with a loss. People are still trying though ...

It depends how much you invest, the more you invest the more you get.

If it would be so easy then just invest money and multiply it.

Unfotunetly it is not so easy.

the more you invest the more you MAY get.

Coin creation is a risky business, many of the coins die and any sort of premine lowers the chance to get to any exchange considerably.
And without a premine you have then to invest some hashpower to actually mine your coin ....

Post by: brokedummy on February 08, 2014, 09:17:18 PM
Now you can just pay .25 BTC and get on cryptorush.in exchange. No risk to creating another premined shitclone really. Scary part is for me there is real risk in not mining your premined shitclone right away so I always jump right on board unless I have something better to mine.

Does anyone has aprox numbers of how much should programmer charge for coin creation, something that is overall improved from most copy coins.

I guess if you invited YOUR own coin you can charge a lot :) like 10 BTC
But - if you just take somebodies script, change a name and almost put nothing new.

Then you should do it for free.
