Just to trow in an idea to Griffth and the team.

In the past Super got some bad reputation from Poloniex, i would say that both sides had its part in that. But now there is a new dev team and some great support. Things are going great and i would say that having Poloniex can only be beneficial for Supercoin.

So if the new team can contact them and start talks on getting Super back to Poloniex would be great.

Would be great if all members of the community give an opinion on that. But mine is that we should do that, as it can be only positive for the coin !

The problem in SuperCoins case, however, is that their interpretation of the code snippet was not only wrong, it was oh hell no wrong. DigiByte over at Bitcoin Talk explains in detail the reason it is wrong, but let me try to sum it up. This is the snippet of offending code:
if (dAmount <= 0.0 || dAmount > 150000000.0)

and
static const int64_t MAX_MONEY = 150000000 * COIN;
static const int64_t POW_MAX_MONEY = 50000000 * COIN;

Lets look at the first line of code. dAmount is a variable representing a transaction amount. So what that line of code is saying is IF the transaction amount is less than or equal to 0 OR if it is greater than 150,000,000 coins THEN [do whatever comes next in the coin's source code]. Thats all. Nothing nefarious or mysterious there.

As for the second part of the code, MAX_MONEY and POW_MAX_MONEY do NOT indicate how many coins will be generated. All that those values do is establish a threshold for the maximum transaction size that can be sent over the network.

Cleared up, but not widely known. Yet.

I agree with Kopam. Addressing this PR issue is a fantastic idea. It may even get Polo to address their error in understanding. This would do great things for Supercoin.
