PayCoin sounds a little close to PayPal in "lexical construction", didn't a bunch of companies get into trouble for using "iSomething" in the past couple of years? I'm probably completely off track, not sure how TM works, I'm guessing the name was vetted by lawyers not to come in conflict with others in the same space having a similar name that could be mislead.

I think it's a deliberate stab at PayPal. He tweeted this a while ago:

oh paypal, here we come

Apparently there were some other tweets at PayPal that have since been deleted:

And the HP to PC (PYC?) conversion may be postponed by a couple of weeks:

Thinking about issuing paycoins to HP customers at the end of round 2 to give customers more time to collect HP

im worried about their need to extend the issuance date, just how ready is paycoin?

There is no need, it's to be generous to our customers. The time frame is the time frame.

Giving more paycoins out at Pre ico prices just cost us more paycoins and creates more upside to customers. How is that an issue?

And then there is this tweet, which is kind of ironic - I'd say the situation is quite the opposite at the moment:

Paycoin: the coins are yours. You can transfer them anywhere you want. PayPal: the money is yours. You can transfer when they let you

Meanwhile the existing shitcoin with the same name is still trading on Cryptsy:

Really weird that they didn't think to buy it out or fork it or do something to avoid confusion.
