I often see things around here demonizing developers and the like for making money off the work they do. Honestly I find that attitude this community has about developers completely idiotic. Developers, coders etc. have priceless skills in the progression of cryptography and people expect them to give everything away for free. And when they here a developer is making some money off their own work they scream scam, centralization etc. Note I'm completely against centralization but most people around here don't seem to understand what centralization is. Developers are not your slaves stop thinking your entitled to profit off their work and their not.
First, most of the "Devs" are not "devs", just blatant copycat, "copy paste coders" and scammers. 2 minutes work doesn't deserve and worth anything. Real devs with real cryptography skills represent 1% at best in the Alt scene, and yes that 1% deserve to make a load of money (they do, they earned it).
Second, no one ask "Devs" to do anything, it's their own choice, but if they do make a coin, i consider normal that those who invest time, money, and resources in it, have their questions and concerns answered (not what i call slavery...).
A dev can make some money, only if a community follow him anyway.
