I'm creating a portfolio / wallet app. It's not just another throw away wallet. It aggregates most coins, integrates with hardware and many large exchanges. I want to make money from this app somehow so I have incentive to keep working on it. It is a native app for all the main platforms : iOS , Android , Windows and probably eventually Linux and Mac OS.
A big part of me wants to embrace open source and hand the code over to other people but I worry that if there venture capitalists willing to invest in my product then I may be cutting myself off at the knees if I release the source code.
But I look around and much of the software that's available had its source published so that people can acrutinize the app and so on. Also, so many apps are totally free. This makes me wonder... How do the companies make money?
What are your thoughts on how to make money from a wallet / portfolio app?
