I agree, commission is high atm, I didn't want to shoot myself in the foot too early by not being able to cover basic costs. As it stand this project is self funded by me and my pockets aren't deep.
Yup, have you tried to get additional funding from crowdfunding or something similar? I think the idea is good and there is no strong competitor yet on the market. While the chance to get accepted is low, it's worth to try if you have some spare time.
I haven't tried yet but thought about it. Im anti Tokens as I feel the only utility I can provide ATM is just cash value for rewards such as monthly tournaments and other miscellaneous activities. If I find people don't mind that then I may go down that path, but I want to be different from the large majority of typical projects that create ERC20 Tokens for the sole purpose of just raising funds. It just increases the useless of cryptocurrencies.
I'll see how it goes for the first few months and go from there. Of course I want to turn a profit from this but that isn't the only deciding factor for this project. I'd like to see people with a lack of knowledge about cryptocurrencies, not enough time to trade the markets and people who don't know where to get started when it comes to trading; have the opportunity to have a passive income.
