You can get a percentage every time the user runs your code. That’s part of the smart contract. So a. You have no server costs and b. You get paid.

- sprafa 5y agoi dont even understand the question you're making tbh.
- rfd4sgmk8u 5y agoThe problem is that efficient systems are built to remove middle men or processes from transactions -- this 'get paid whenever someone sells / uses / blah' is just rent seeking. everyone wants a passive wealth generation system without work, but the universe shuns this idea. the emergent, more efficient systems will remove the rent seeking behavior, and allow capital to flow more easily. Everything significant in this space is open and infinitely clone-able in many contexts. The only thing that isn't clone-able is value -- we have digital scarcity now in a world of efficiency maximizing code and systems. something about passive rentseeking as damage and routing around it.
