Potcoin,

   I'm a bit concerned over the following code that was added to the source in the main.h file, and I wanted to see why it was added in the first place.  Also, can someone confirm that this code wasn't included in the windows build of the wallet?


Code:
-#define FOUNDATION_CALCULATE ((0.02*miningReward)+nFees)
 +//#define FOUNDATION_CALCULATE ((0.02*miningReward)+nFees)
 
 -#define NDIFF_START_MM 99600
 -#define NDIFF_START_FFOUNDATION 99500
 -#define NDIFF_START_DIGISHIELD 253241
 +//#define NDIFF_START_MM 99600
 +//#define NDIFF_START_FFOUNDATION 99500
 +#define NDIFF_START_DIGISHIELD 280000
  #define NDIFF_START_KGW 61798
 -#define FOUNDATION_ADDRESS "PLtnPUvmjtVsRSvhNNHXWozWNAuodannSY"
 +//#define FOUNDATION_ADDRESS "PLtnPUvmjtVsRSvhNNHXWozWNAuodannSY"

What is this foundation address in the code, and why is there a 2%+ fee being considered?  I can see that it is being commented out in the latest release, but I'm now a bit skeptical of the windows build.

Frankly, WTF?  Were you planning on skimming 2% of the coins off the top?

If I'm just being dumb, let me know.  Without clarification, this looks really suspicious to a code laymen like myself.
