TheMage,
While it would help XPY that you provide input and help them improve, i honestly believe the coin is doomed. It has waaaaay too much baggage to survive. There's also the small detail of someone controlling at least 4.7M coins....unless GAW gave all those coins to XPY, which i'm 99.9% sure won't happen, then there's no hope (in my honest opinion).
It may be doomed, but that doesnt mean that I cant offer help and suggestions

. FYI the premine would be something I push to remove.
Just out of curiosity, how would you remove XPY's premine? If you fork and kill the coins, that causes a world of problems, because some those coins have been sent to an exchange, and that exchange probably sent those coins out to completely unrelated people doing withdrawals, and those people doing withdrawals transacted with those coins, etc., so, really, anyone anywhere who didn't mine his own coin could be hit with that. What would the mechanics of eliminating a premine look like?
