Well this has backfired

The points I do want to make

1. We never wanted to profit off the prime node. And made it a point to make our addresses public so everyone could verify that

2. We wanted to give the people a vote. Currently its all ran by gaw and the paycoin foundation as well as other unknown parties. I think we can all agree its been a mess. We hoped this would at least give our users a say in what happens. As keeping our customers happy is the number one goal. Our vote essentially goes with the community

3. Any step paycoin takes that distances itself from gaw is a good step in my opinion. The keys were not going to be removed from the code so why not make it public and show people they now can verify those 3 controllers aren't dumping their coins. And now that we have a vote thats one vote in your favor towards removing them from the codebase all together as well as any other unknown controllers

Regardless. The overall feedback has been negative. We are open to any suggestions as to what to do with the controller. The only way cryptsy was going to benefit from this situation is if some good comes out of us having the controller in the communities eyes.

We wont be taking any more controllers that are offered to us

If you want to have your user base in control, then make a voting platform and allow votes as 1 coin = 1 vote, then allow your invested user base to vote on the future of the coin and you defer to the current vote no matter which way it goes. Here are some initial things for your user base to vote on:

(a) All Paycoin Prime Controllers must be publicly registered, to include the owner's identification, the addresses used, and an automated reporting system that shows all coin movements to/from those addreses that anyone can see on a public website. The cost of producing and maintaining the website will be born equally by all Prime Controller owners.

(b) All US Non-Profits claiming association with the Paycoin ecosystem (in the sense of promiting or maintaining it), must be registered on the above address with the following information: Date and place of incorporation, names of all officers and board members, date of non-profit application submission, monthly public financial accounting for ALL USD, BTC, XPY, and any other currencies (crypto or otherwise) used.

(c) At this point, and through the next semi-annual Prime Controller leasing period, what should the ANNUAL staking rate be on Prime Controllers, Orion Wallets, BT Wallets, and Non-Staking Online Wallets held by entities such as exchanges?

(d) Do you think the Paycoin ecosystem should make an official, never-changing, burn address to be publicly utilized as evidence of 'burned coins' (this could be a readable address, such as "ThesePaycoinsWillBeBurnedForever"
