I could very well do this, I personally have no problem buying back Yin/Yang from people. The plus about this, is that I will not have to associate Harmony with Yin/Yang at all. I agree with this, and once the IPO sells out, I will buy up 12mil Yin/Yang. This idea also means that Yin/Yang won't just be dead now. It will mean Yin/Yang can continue as a coin.
Damn i'm glad we're on the same level, writing that costed me way too much valuable time with upcoming master exams for this to be ignored :p
I was going for the same idea, indeed, it'll be less associated with yinyang. There's still an association though because the remaining yinyang coins (those not spent to IPO, or if people prefer to hold) could still be available for the swap ofcourse. But that's cool since yinyang's reputation will be restored. No problem in having an association with it !
Yinyang is not supposed to keep living though. Give yinyang a proper funeral by buying it out and hold/destroy those coins as i mentioned in my plan before. You can leave the yinyang episode behind you with a good ending, and have a fresh start with harmony. With a purified reputation. Keeping yinyang alive, there's no point in doing so. The coin will just die again (you don't want this on your name, seriously), better to phase it out yourself at a healthy point. Best/only way to finish that project succesfully, you'd probably be (one of?) the first altcoin creators that actually succeeded to finish a project AND satisfy the investors. What better way to start with a new coin ? Who wouldn't want to take part in Harmony ?
Ofcourse you MUST have a transparency of your trades (IPO
AND Yinyang). The community must be able to see there's a ratio of 8/1 between yinyang's bought and IPO harmony sold. If not, there's no point in doing this or no one will be able to check if the yinyang is actually being bought. I suppose it's hard to do this with Polo addresses. But i'm sure there are ways of doing this. Maybe you could put all the premine in one wallet first, or even destroy it with the method you mentioned in the thread before. Then afterwards, provide another wallet where you send all the bought yinyang to. And make sure the community can follow everything with the blockchain. (i'm sure there are better and more transparent ways of doing this, but it's just an example you can build further on if you wish).
