hope you'll not gettin mad about my screens here, but all of them must be collected for posterity...

GAW Josh is a perfect fraudster and is full of shit so is Paycoin foundation and TeamXPY front. Just think they have not fixed a minor bug in wallet software in over 3 months, this is a very
sophisticated scam and they use Cryptsy to dump the coins it is just about collecting your BTC over 300,000 XPY in a day please???
If you're talking about the checkpoint error, I think it was removed in
https://github.com/PaycoinFoundation/paycoin/commit/88fbd4b835597398d40141eaca22a1af0a76fc1b, on Feb 11.
They removed the message that displayed the error. They never in fact fixed said error. Covered up the in typical GAW fashion.
Is there a strong reason that the centralized checkpoint system is needed? What exactly is not working that needs to be fixed?
Ya, cause the coin is centralized. GAW controls it all. I thought this was known for some time now?
What do you mean by control, here? If you mean in terms of staking, that isn't true; anyone can stake a block if they own some paycoin. If you mean in terms of owning most of the paycoins in existence, that isn't really known, and we don't know how much they dumped. If you mean control over the code, that's decentralized, just like bitcoin. If they were to push an update that people didn't like, they don't have to upgrade their wallets.
I'm having the feeling you have no idea what checkpoints are here.
