Anyone looked into this http://ziftrcoin.com deal? It looks like the real deal as they have an actual team lead by a veteran tech wizard, Bob Wilkins and are plugging crypto into a large and existing network of shoppers and merchants.

Paycoin's strength was marketing and PR inside the bitcoin community, but they lack the management, product knowledge, existing staff, etc... to create it. Ziftr's strength is in real ecommerce products that are totally outside the bitcoin space, hence they haven't gotten the hype like paycoin does. Is it better to bring bitcoin into your product specialty? Or to use bitcoin to move into a new industry?

Huh? Paycoin (xpy) exists and ziftrcoin doesn't exist. Besides the ziftrcoin sign to mine idea is crazy. No one is going to want to give out the private keys of a wallet to mine. That means there won't be pools just some random solo mining. It isn't going to be a healthy coin ever with that approach. They will likely change it, but still ... how you copy something that doesn't exist?

Paycoin did copy plenty of concepts and things from other coins, no doubt of that. Very altcoin has done that.
