The two key advantages of PayProCoin were:
- Ability to buy coins in the UK at local retailers via integration with established PayPoint facilities
- Headed up by a UK registered company, including named individual as CEO
If PayPoint integration ever was working, it certainly isn't now. And fairly or unfairly, Darren's name is no longer a plus point. But, at least for a time, these were the main two key advantages of the coin.
With these gone, what does the coin have to distinguish itself from any others? Take out the fancy words in the first post and it basically says it's a Bitcoin clone with some fuzzy plans for payment integration. Payment integration is the Holy Grail; lots of coins promise it, and very few deliver anything useful. You really need to concentrate on nailing down these payment integration details.
How will you achieve the items on the roadmap?
- No details were ever released about the buyback programme, leading people to make wild guesses as to what it is. You obviously don't have the funds to buy everybody's PRO at 2500 sats. Even offering a conditional buyback guarantee for coins originally sold by yourself isn't practical, or if it is can you explain how? Saying you'll offer a buyback programme and not giving details is irresponsible, and the only people who will take you seriously are the gullible and the pump/dump crowd who take advantage of them, and you said you weren't in it for the P+D.
- The old roadmap mentions PayProProjects university project, but this requires significant PRO reserves which you don't have.
- It also mentions PayProGift in early August. Was this anything other than vapourware?
Regarding coin count:
- If initial block reward is 1,000 PRO/block, and block halving is every 20,000 blocks, this should mean a total of 40 million normally mined coins. Add the 40 million non-destroyed premine (ignoring the 40 million destroyed premine) means a total of 80 million coins (with the premine being 50%). Why do you say the total is 600 million?
- You say "Coins in circulation: ~62 million as of August 6th" - but the block explorer says it is closer to 56 million?
