...I am amazed that you would be willing to ruin this coin after it recently had such a wonderful surge argh

I'm sorry but you are totally misinformed. People who own $10,000's of this coin have already swapped to new $pac as masternodes.
The new devs are honouring all swaps to the new coin. I can testify, my experience was perfect, received my new $pac within 24 hours.
The old paccoin has no future, it is dated technology. The new $pac blockchain is next generation tech and the devs have some great ideas for the new $pac platform.
As for what the dev will do with all the old paccoins, they already said they will probably ask the community to vote and in all likelyhood they will all be returned or burned in public. If returned, we win-win...we have both our new $pac and old paccoin.
You failed to give any explanation whatsoever of why the existing code base would not be modified to make any needed changes as opposed to doing this swap.
Please answer that question with a detailed explanation.
You also failed to respond to the enormous drop in PAC price leading into this swap. If this swap is so good please explain to me why the coin is being dumped in mass quantity at very devalued prices?
Your answer to what will be done with the existing coins is beyond vague... "probably, "likelyhood" "returned", "burned"...

In other words nobody knows what will be done with the existing coins?
