"First, let me remind you that hosts set their own hosting prices, so there's no possible way for us to tell you how much you'll make since that fundamental variable is completely under your control.
Second, we don't yet know how much hosting demand vs. supply there will be, which will effect your pricing strategy. Maybe we'll have tons of apps, more likely we'll start out with fewer big apps and the app ecosystem will grow.
Now that the ICO is done, we may publish a web page with an earnings calculator so you can play with your own earning scenarios. During the ICO we didn't want anyone freaking out about how ridiculously much money you could make on such cheap hardware at the ICO token price.
But since Holo is likely to launch with surplus hosting power rather than app demand, the ability to overcharge may be limited. (Yes, I'm saying that 1/10,000 the price that you pay on Ethereum is overcharging.) I would expect hosts to rapidly lower their prices to compete for the smaller amount of hosting demand. Given the ICO price, it should still be possible to lower your price by a factor of 1,000 to 10,000 and still make good money.
But let me clarify something. That does not mean the "token" price drops. It means the hosting cost drops by that much which means the fuel's buying power increases by that much. There is an inverse relationship between the buying power of the fuel and the cost of hosting.
So... back to your question. We don't know for sure how much you'll make because it is a free market. However, we expect hosts to be able to make good ROI because utility is high, and capital and operating overhead is low.
Here's what that inverse relationship looks like, BTW."
