Gaining approval is easy, it just has to be better than the previous version and accepted by the exchanges and you can force an upgrade by blocking old versions. If you need to upgrade to the latest version to use the exchanges and if you also have new features then you definitely would.
But I'm here just for the entertainment value, we already have PayCon that we can make changes to since we always have 100% approval. ie. If you don't like it, make something better.
How about this: offer any legitimate XPY holder the opportunity to convert into Paycon at fixed ratio for a period of time. Destroy the XPY as you receive it, and viola Paycoin 2.0. Of course you blacklist conversions from the coins held in the PCs, as well as any coins that can be traced to a GAW or Garza wallet without proof of payment (to protect the poor fools who ended up buying his dumped coins).
AND the way to do that is to have an exchange that has both coins on it. Let XPY holders buy Paycon if they want. If the Paycon group wants to subsidize that, all they need to do is list paycon on the exchange for very low XPY prices.
The reason this coin should just die is very simple.
The moment paycoin 2.0 or whatever "legit, LOL" approach get introduced, everyone will just try to convert to this new paycoin to try dump and get out of this mess.
It will be a continued effort of pump and dump. As we can clearly see from the people who invested on the back of $20 promise, these same people simply got involved to see the coin rise a bit to dump it for a profit. This whole paycoin scam was funded by get rich quick greed investors and operated by the king clown Homero.
Oh, I agree. The people in charge of these non-profits and other entities were intimately involved in running this shit stain up the flag pole, so suddenly they're going to change their stripes? Doubt it. Not to mention that paycoin is set up for a bi-annual meltdown in this bidding for prime controllers... IF this ever did start producing money for anyone beyond the group involved in launching this scam, how long do you think it would be until a terrorist organization won the prime controller bids? This whole coin was promoted on the no-qualifications, no identification, now we're running to unregulated hong kong and unregulated off-shore tax haven dubai.... so, once these prime controllers are moved to dubai, who do you think would be the winning bidder (assuming they made enough money to even justify their electricity)?
But, if Paycon holders want to entice the XPY community... that's their business and they can do it in the open through the exchanges, not using some coded back door program. That way, the rest of the paycon community can choose to stay or dump based on their preferences. That would be no different than if XPY holders chose to convert to BTC through the exchanges... I certainly wouldn't hold it against BTC if the XPY holders dumped.
