Creator get profit from each transaction. Of course its lower to send money now via bitcoin network than SWIFT BUT i too pay commission for bitcoin creators. Tongue

can't tell if trolling or just ignorant.....
creators don't get tx comissions
maybe they do in some cappy alt, but surely not in bitcoin

Not sure if they're serious, but certainly a LOT of people in my experience think of cryptocurrencies as a company, so they presume by "buying in" the company (and by extension devs) make a profit, and it's not hard to see people believing the same for mining fees. There's a very prevalent attitude of "I bought in, what are the devs doing to make me a profit" and of course the answer is that in a fairly distributed coin, coin devs typically hold a tiny fraction of all coins, and value movement is of very limited relevance to them.

Edit: Yes yes, Satoshi, blah blah... no. Satoshi essentially solo-mined Bitcoin for the first several weeks of its existence, because no-one else was that interested. Any new coin release can expect thousands of miners competing for the block rewards, not one person grabbing all of them for weeks.
