Ok strange turn of events
The PayCoin foundation sent me 1 BTC for the bit of help that stabilized their sync problems.
Do I help the foundation sort out their problems?
I don't think I'd like to see all those investors lose everything, it's really only a few people that fucked everyone over.
You could help sort out the code to maybe make it more usable, but there really isn't a chance of doing much when people only concerned with getting cash have so many coins to dump.
I have been watching what Team PayCoin does a little bit, so far they have forcibly taken control of Zencloud and reinstated withdrawls. It's funny because all the Hashtalkers were like "OMG zencloud works now and it's so fast"
I'm treading this all carefully in giving help as in I can offer some advice and point them in the right direction but won't do direct work on the code. If I am right, the PayCoin Foundation could save the day
if they decide to work altruistically towards the holders.
All I have mentioned to "jwrb" on forum.gethashing is a bit of Blockchain advice but I think it's most important for me to be open with the things I say and do here.

Wow man, thank you so much!!
You don't know how much that helps
Looks like this whole PayCoin thing went totally nuclear with the email release and everything but this is also great to be able to get it all things out in the open. Atleast now I know what's going on and can help a bit.
A little FYI, you guys will need to cut off Josh completely from the code, probably issue new prime controllers. If you are going to make all the prime controllers the same rate of inflation you should think about the compounding interest, 1 hour compounding interest on 100% per year is still about 10,000% per year. If you are making a contract about asking someone not to keep their Coins in Prime controllers, that is likely not going to work.
There is a couple things you should look at in regards to security. Fees are extremely low for transactions, you can currently send about 100k transactions per XPY. The minimum difficulty should also be looked at as well since at 4, it is very CPU intensive. The big one is the time drift between Blocks, this opens up a time exploit and I think it could be quite harmful to have a 2 hour timedrift allowance on Staked Blocks but 1 hour minimum Stake age. The time drift should be as tight as possible without stalling the chain.

If you are looking to completely Block certain addresses from sending/staking, you should look at this commit.
