Developers don't deserve to be paid they should be motivated by the potential to further the movement, Not to make a quick $$.
But If those developers deliver a worthy product that makes the speculators betting on it wealthy i think they deserve at least recognition for that in the form of donations.
I do not believe in premises, instamines, ICOs, IPOs If developers want to hold their own coin they should buy them with their own money and they should work for free and only receive donations as a form of payments because it was their choice to start the project.
if this was a rule there would be so many less useless projects around.
Do you realize that you just explained how a pyramid scheme works ? You all launch them and then participate in them and don't even realize it.
And most Linux dev's are paid ?
Uhhhmm no i call bullshit.
Further more how much of the Linux code is open source ?
You deserve to be paid for that ? After you "borrow" it for your pyramid scheme crypto coin ?
@mining1
Cite some references to your claims about me.
It would behoove you to check your facts first son
Further more don't insult me because i have criticized Ethereum here.
Your personal attack is uncalled for.. again (he has a chronic habit of posting that same comment lots)
No on cares what comments you do or do not read.
And cut & paste ?
I wish.. typing is labor intensive for me so i'd love to but i don't.
What Minecache (Fraudcache) you think i have a FUD button on my keyboard ?
Actually ..you caught me !
I have a quick-knife script i made and a quick-AWP button to go with my quick-FUD binding.
And by the way you are one to talk "Mr Criminal coin" who creates tons of topic with 1 sentence and a link.
Mr I don't support ETC but i get them and sell them on Poloniex for profit guy LOL
@kelsey
Thanks for commenting.
I think you get what i am driving at.
A perverse sense of entitlement in a scene that has gotten carried away with rigging coins to pay them large amounts.
For example..
No one complained when "Butters" dumped a massive fortune in ETH coins on the public.
He *NEEDED* a MILLION dollars to further development i suppose huh ?
Well.. what is it he coded in between his dumping and now ?
Vs. what percentage of the coin was already coded BEFORE his cash grab.
And he has more to dump last i heard too !
How did he get them ?
Did anyone ask him ?
OF COURSE NOT.
It's gotten so bad these days across the web i made a topic and posted a screen cap of some douche's random web site..
He coded in a pop up berating the user for having an adblocker.
You kids don't realize that the internet was never like that before.
You self entitled millennial brats popped up with your hands out.
Self entitled little pukes that piggy back off others work then demand cash.
Whether it's a coin or a web site or an Android APP (see Texta on TorrentFreak)
https://torrentfreak.com/free-textra-sms-app-threatens-to-report-android-pirates-160423/With Textra the dev coded in a warning pop up saying any user caught using a patched version of his messaging program on Android was a criminal pirate stealing.. why ?
Because his FREE app on the play store had ad's..
So if you are caught and flagged removing them the dev claims illegal criminal copyright infringement.
..because you removed the ad's on his FREE app.
You new kids don't know that what you are demanding is unacceptable.
You don't know because you have not been on the internet very long.
So you don't know any better and see other brats with their hands out then think this is normal.
It's not.
If you don't have the means then don't do it.. simple.
Leave it to someone who does have the ability.
Get this kids..
When i started Crypto people would launch a coin..
then it would be fair game to mine it etc.
Occasionally coins were taxed by dev's for a premine percentage.
This often was considered scammy.
Which i kind of agree with but kept lecturing people .. hold the dev's feet to the fire.
You all never did.
At best you would shortly after launch but 1 year later no one cared.
Some coins had a list of where the money went.. posted publicly.
Accountability !
You know it's funny how you all chant SCAM with a coin that has a 2% premine etc
Then you actually DEFEND an ICO coin that is basically a 100% premined coin.
Where the dev etc is doing god knows what with it.
All run by a centralized authority who pulls the strings as needed.
Like ETH
You all had no complaints at all when Butters had his ICO then raped it on launch day buying it up..
Then later tacked on POS mining HAHHAHAHHAHAHAH
So tell me why did he not just add it in the beginning when it was launched ?
I have asked before and never seen one attempt at an answer.
You will cower and hide when the tough questions get posted.
The shit you all defend here via the majority is sickening and appalling.
Rooted in your perverse and vulgar childish greedy self entitlement.
Look at the pictures of all the ETH guys.. all millennial brats.
It is fine to want to profit but it SHOULD be done on a FAIR system.Besides what is it exactly all these "dev's" deserve to be paid for ?
6,000+ ANN topics and how much REAL innovation ?
What code is deserving of money ?
So far i seen next to nothing !
