...Soooo... basically it's a forced tribute from all potcoin users worldwide, to XYZ beneficiary whenever the 'owner' decided to flip the switch?
Why not comment in there what its future use was?
Why not add this into the git comments/explanation?
Why not simply have made it a feature within the wallet where the user could specify a percentage, a destination address, and an 'opt-in' switch?
Instead, this was slid under the door.
Not to mention, there's no easy way for folks to tell if their windows wallet has it disabled. Which is why I encourage people to check the CRC values against compiling from git source. If the CRC values vary, then there's going to be a lot of explaining to do.
I will say that there is an additional 40-50 lines of code that is in the leafcoin source that actually implements this change. I did not see it in the POT source, so I'm pretty sure this code change was the precursor to adding the rest of the code. Mind you, that could be added to the windows wallet source as well, but I'm pretty sure people would notice the 2% missing from their locally mined blocks. However, fuck the tax. If Potcoin wants to donate to research or charity, then start buying up ASIC gear, run an official 5% fee charity pool, and do things internally. I came to crypto to get away from taxes, not pay into them. -Fuse |

Viceroy, are you part of the dev team? I'm just wondering why the only reasonable explanation for the origin of the code is coming from you rather than the dev team. If you are, thanks for clarifying at least some of this mystery.
I am not part of the Potcoin Dev Team. I work with the wallet developer who is a third party paid consultant. However, to a skeptic like myself, adding bits of code like this during major code changes is like hiding laws in bills in the senate. Everyone is so preoccupied with the major changes of digishield and halving that they didn't notice the precursor to a network wide tax.
Another point that kind of rubs me the wrong way though is your comment about the third party windows compilation. Who compiles the windows client? Is the dev team not capable of compiling a windows client internally?
-Fuse
Again, I'm not part of the Potcoin Dev Team and I know the Windows Wallet was not compiled at our facilities, only the *nix versions. |

When we updated the last version the creator of the coin wanted to add in the possibility of having a % taken for something if we ever needed it or if the community wanted to use to raise money for charity or maybe people who cant afford their medication. You can clearly see its commented out and is not being used.
We at first wanted to raise money for research and charity but we never implemented it and now we have in the chance we use it one day.
Why not simply have made it a feature within the wallet where the user could specify a percentage, a destination address, and an 'opt-in' switch? That is a great idea! I really like that, make it so you can donate if you want to, and leave the amount up to the user. The law of averages says it should work out to be the same in the long run  |

The law of averages says it should work out to be the same in the long run The smarter option, which I mentioned, is creating a charity pool or using ASICs to mine these charity coins. Both help secure the blockchain and add to the stability of the coin without taxing the average user. -Fuse |

Man oh man, lotsa good news lately on the potcoin front. Things are sure seeming saucy! Awh yeah!  The more the network grows the strong the coin becomes. Although it really seems to be gaining speed as of late. I sure hope this momentum continues, it is refreshing in a number of ways. |
