Hmm if this does happen it will be kinda funny, total proof of failure while the paycoiners will see it as a jet rocket to the moon since it's a stand alone coin.
And, as someone on HT pointed out, if the giant laundry list of fixes is ever done to Paycoin it would basically be just a pure Peercoin clone. Can you imagine how healthy Peercoin would be if the millions of dollars sunk into Paycoin by investors (and promptly pocketed by GAW/Josh) was instead put into Peercoin? It would probably have taken the #2 spot in the Market Cap list from Litecoin and perhaps really be on a jet rocket to the moon.
