This is really funny. You don't need to own any paycoin, just import the private key in the wallet. This private key is a number you saw on the internet, and a number cannot be patented. You can write them into the coinbase string of a block in some shitcoin and many people will have a copy of it stored.

Don't let them intimidate you, if I write my gmail password in my github repo then its my fault if people look into my emails. That's not different here.

If you don't have any coins what would your shiny new prime controller do? How would you know if it's doing anything? How would you know if the key is even still valid?

Its the private key, so every coin which is currently on the controller will be in your possession. I would not send a coin there, probably not even XPY, cause they are $20 each you know ....

I should clarify: Although this is super hilarious, I am against causing real damage here, because it will again be the fools still following it who will suffer in the end. Burning some XPY from the big controllers would teach them a reasonable lesson. But I will surely not sync such a blockchain for this.

How could it be the private key to the wallet? The wallet address changes and regenerates at each stake and coins are moved to new addresses within the wallets keypool often. I don't think this gives you access to the principal on the controllers. This is one of my questions though, does this give you access to stake or access to the wallet itself or both?

This is a good point and I would need to look into the code now to confirm or deny this. Good possible that you will only see a fraction of the wallet balance after importing the priv keys.

Isn't the key way too long to be for an address?
