I'm surprised that most respondents so far say that the revenue from creating altcoins is close to zero. If indeed it costs effort to create and market a new altcoin, a rational altcoin creator would expect to receive some form of revenue in return (in addition to feeling good).
What would be the revenue? And how to generate this revenue? (You can respond to the thread or on the anonymous survey above. Thanks!)
It's not exactly a secret.
1. Premine/ICO/IPO - if you're in it
just for the money, this is what you do. Over and over.
That said, it is sort of natural way for dev to cover
the costs. Too bad it has been soiled by scammers.
2. Angel investor - if you are really brilliant
3. Buying from the exchange and selling - peanuts, but may
be enough.
