I'm just going over some options of ways a crypto-coin developer can earn some money for their hard work and potentially keep them incentivized to continue working on it.
So which of the methods below are more acceptable to the crypto community?
- Developer allocates 100% in the genesis block to themself, keeps a portion and promises to distribute as they see fit
pre-mine. no thanks- Developer allocates a small % in the genesis block to themself, remainder can be mined (whats an acceptable %)
pre-mine. no thanks- Sell shares in exchange for BTC like an IPO, and then distribute initial coins based on IPO allocation. Developer would buy large stake
centralised and not freemarket. no thanks- Protocol hardcoded to send a % of new coins/transaction fees to developers address
crypto tax. no thanks- Built in voting system to allow new coins/fees to be allocated to contributors
crypto government. no thanks- Protocol hardcoded so any donations sent to developer pre assigned address give donors slight advantage/privilege over non donors
forced donations or left confirmless.. unfair system. no thanks[/list]
Or any other suggestions?
how about get developers to make a website that takes on peoples idea's and suggestions. and puts on a bounty for that 'project'. if people really want that feature then they vote for it with money. that way developers learn what people want and only do work on something they get paid for.
imagine a list of suggestions:
make client background skinable - vote: 1Arandomaddresstosendfundsto
reduce minimal tx fee - vote: 1Arandomaddresstosendfundsto
developers see the list and get tempted to do the suggestion as there is money involved and demand for the feature
