So I recently acquired
http://coingen.io/, and I wanted some community feedback on how to proceed. There are definitely certain ways this could go.
One just floods the marketplace,
two gets more people playing around with source code,
three(and best) provides incentive to improve Bitcoin development by 2x or 3x (
see Luke-Jrs Idea).
1) Development:I want to know what people actually want to see as improvements to the generator in once place. So far I've heard:
- Add Primecoin Proof-of-Work
- Add Peercoin Proof-of-Stake
- Create your Own Genesis Block
- Better Seednode Handling
2) Funding: Obviously people want features now rather than later, and I'm only one guy. Obviously the profit from the tool can probably reach 100-200 BTC by the end of the month at current rates. But we all know a month is like a decade in Bitcoin time(we could be at the moon by then), and I'd rather start make improvements now rather than a few weeks and be smart about it.
- Resell Method - Not opposed to reselling the code to another interested party(PM me). Would be enough to fund my CoinDocs project(Bitcoin Documentation) or some of the work I wanted to do with Bitcoin Agents.
- Open Source Buyout - Could do something like what Blender did and have the community buyout the code and open-source it. Obviously some of these funds would be for development.
- Equity Based - Keep everything how it is, but allow the community to place funds toward the development of new features. Once that feature is developed, if you want it included in your coin you must pay the fee which is then awarded back to the users who funded it proportional.
