I am very new to trying to make my own coins. I have, in fact, contacted Hogwild Stuff in order to try to make a coin. I have been considering doing a presale. Hogwild offered to do a resell program for me. It would eliminate my risk, however, I basically lose the rights to my design. They said I would get 25 "limited edition" coins, and then 5 percent of any of my future coins minted by them. If I make a coin that turns out to be popular (which Hogwild thinks will happen with my coin), then I want to be the one to profit from it. I understand it is still a risk I will have to take, and realize I may lose money in the process, but I want to try to mint the coin myself.
It is very sad for me to hear that some people are ripping others off by doing presales. It makes it hard for people who really want to make some coins, but don't necessarily have all of the funds to do it. I guess I will be doing some more research into presales and making my own coins.
