i am presuming the 20$ paycoin was a joke right

ROFL bad thing about text cant tell if someone is joking.
But yes I got in on that brief mining period for paycoin and dumped it right away, was mighty nice to make 4x my normal mining for that week.
Paycoin has ponzi written all over it, I knew that but as miner it was a awesome chance to get in and get out and make a nice profit.
Just remember the old kenny song
"you've gots to know when to hold them, know when to fold them,, know when to walk away , and know when to run"
last thing i heard Ponzicoin is under investigation by the SEC, for all that 20$ peg non sense. As a result their value has plummeted and will most likely be a dead coin real soon. If your holding them get out while you can.
the only altcoin that i see right not as being a good investment is XRP and maybe NSR both have a solid dev team behind them.
