Your backup should be a wallet.dat file, which would include your default.  For a paper or text backup of the default, you can probably use the help/debug console commands - dumpprivkey looks promising.  You wouldn't be importing into a new wallet.dat file, you'd be copying.

If you import an address, it still sends from the wallet address.  Imported addresses are only "receiving" addresses.

The model is "many receiving addresses, a single send address" because you can trust send addresses to be updated / maintained / owned / refreshed by an active voter account.  Longer term history at receiving / imported addresses would mostly mean commerce / payment / business activity.  The imported receiving addresses would form your "reputation" backbone on the network...your economic history.  The wallet addresses form your "voter identity" backbone behind them...your political history.  Your "voter identity" is linked to a "personal identity" at any given website by voluntarily disclosing out of network info - a forum screenname, ID docs, a related btc address, etc...but could be maintained completely separate and private out-of-network if desired.
__________________________

That said, we could use a "ballot card copy / reset" option though.  Right now, the only way to "clear" a vote is to send over 10 Satoshi, then create a new wallet and vote again.  That's fine if you're only voting for one address per wallet, but I like to do all my cXo votes from one wallet....So updating one vote means redoing all.

Probably as a .bat or other script that could be launched, close, and restart the gui?  Maybe read vote record of current default address, user input for new votes (or clear all), export all keys, create new wallet, import all keys, sweep to new wallet, reset / update votes?

The most important points I see from the OP is a need for "traceability" / "credit" to source of a creation, and an "advertising" / "promoting" from any who use, develop, or build upon it further.  And an easy voluntary way for any user to send value back to source.

You're kind of talking about turning content creators into micro-celebrities within their business community...or professional networking.  "AngelCoin"?

Think of a creator as a "personal brand" and "co-branding" a use of their product.  Creator could benefit from short-term donations / contributions / etc or publicity.  Both benefit from an increase in "brand recognition", etc.  Creator uses that intangible to network / market / expand / etc.

You're looking for a system that could be long-term, unique, and traceable that people can easily send funds to - that's any virtual currency address.  But you also want a system where it could also be cheap to just show intangible support, or approval...or vote.  And where the source can do the same in return to "approve" or "sponsor".  With the price of a vote to be insignificant compared to the value that could also be donated (1 vote = 1 MMC Satoshi).

You register an account with MMC and say, "This address is me".  You create a document, specification, invention disclosures, patent application, blog post and assign it another MMC address.  "This address is this idea / IP / document / etc."

License something like:

"This is my creation.  Vote for Document MMC address if you support.  Send donations to Author Address to continue development. Document address shall vote for all approved supporters.  Author is available for professional consultation."   

The higher the reputation of your supporters, the higher the publicity for the creator.

It's basically "My approval is for sale and I am for hire.  My reputation is based on trust from my supporters. Look at all the people who voted for me that I could bring as potential customers / users / partners / etc." 

You're basically combining the seller feedback of eBay, the "for-profit" social networking of LinkedIn and employment sites, and the marketing of coin development.

Short-term, CSO's working on a social networking site for "MMC community professionals" - web developers, merchants, service providers, miners, etc.  That should give us a place to market ideas like this, see if there's anything related, or if anyone else is interested in advertising further, etc.

Long-term, I like MMC as an "open-source collaborative planning" platform...start with a bunch of "what-ifs?", then see what develops.  We can always play in MMC and see where it goes.  For all we know, someone's already working on something similar, and maybe they just need a bit of co-branding.

But credit union is only the financial aspect of possible "cooperative" models.  Could use it for personal accounting, private business management, or even incorporate your "for profit" and "for the benefit of MMC" selves separately.  Could extend the model to other currencies. 

I think the "for those MMC shareholder who agree I am acting in their mutual benefit by voting for me" concept could link and span anything from consumer, professional, sole proprietor, LLC, corporation, non-profit, etc.  Would provide a solid-basis for "trades in MMC should be tax-exempt, trades in fiat should be recorded and accounted for".

I am hosting a mine-for-dwarfpool charity race.

Honorable Mentions - Updated MaxVTE
========================

This is to update and explain my voting logic and how I base it on network history or "community trust".  In real life, we base our votes on information from the real-world community (i.e., community reputation) instead of just numbers on a network, but let's pretend you are trying to take over the MMC network...

Trust can be based on personal or community knowledge and can be based on in-network information or out-of-network information.  Personal and in-network are weighted higher.

1st Preference / Most trustworthy = Max.  Both personally and in-network...haven't let myself down yet...

2nd Preference / 2nd trustworthy = Freetrade.  Highest community in-network trust (most block rewards) and personal trust (pays salary to MAXdeo).

3rd Preference / 3rd trustworty = GrandPWR.  No in-network history, but highest personal and out-of-network information.

GrandPWR has a background in executive coaching and communications.  I trust him completely based on out-of-network information, but you should not trust him since he has no history yet. 

GrandPWR will focus on basic "new user walk-throughs" that most of us take for granted or already learned in our "pre-MMC" bitcoin days - basic wallet security, no chargebacks, never use Paypal, etc.  He will be walking through existing MMC links, asking newb questions in the forum, and maybe developing beginner guides for mmcwiki.com.  GrandPWR will also submit forum posts for interesting discussion topics, off-site cryptocurrency news, etc.

The MMC Community will need to determine whether MaxPWR and GrandPWR are the same user before GrandPWR can build his own trust.

GrandPWR is a new username for this forum that I created for GrandPWR.  GrandPWR is a new cryptocurrency user.  GrandPWR does not know he has been nominated for CEO yet.  GrandPWR does not know Max has created a new username for GrandPWR.  But MaxPWR trusts that all GrandPWR needs is a hint:

"Corner of W.45th, number and name lower-case"

There's a DAC for that - MemoryCoin.

The least efficient unit of labor or capital in a distributed economy is an isolated individual.  The basic unit of communication is a vote, i.e. approve or accept.  Markets are simply economic information communication systems.  An efficient system of market communication can provide the most efficient economic empowerment for individuals.

Every distributed economic system will need some form of voting - it's necessary for trade, (accept bid/ask), for business (corporate shareholder voting), and for politics (community voting).

The "voting system" can refer to either the technical implementation (how votes are cast, counted, or scored / weighted) or how they are valued by the community. The value of a voting system does not fall into "group trap"...a group falls into a "value trap".

MMC is basically a community charity development coin.  5% of new coins are "taxed" from each new block, and distributed to a group of elected Officers and an elected Charity.  The Officers perform community service and development.  If community leadership weakens, and the MMC economy stops growing, this is a non-sustainable enterprise since the community will become sclerotic and be slowly taxed to death.  But MMC is a bunch of crypto-users.  They act in their self-interest, and are most concerned with making a profit.

So, MMC is an anarcho-capitalistic distributed economy of profit-seekers with a net 5% loss taxed away for charity and community service...how to survive?

Cooperate, combine, adapt, evolve, grow, and excel...be capitalistic and marketable!

Real-world industries have already solved this problem, but just haven't applied it in the infinitely-distributed sense.  This is what policies, procedures, corporate governance, and project management address through quality assurance / quality improvement / quality management systems. 

Policies are "objective / mission statement / overall strategic goals".  Procedures are "requirement / instructions / detailed tactical directives".  In a traditional, rigid, strict corporate management structure, these are controlled to be the same.  But, the farther from top-management (overall corporate mission), the more muddled and confused the directives and operations.

Enter matrix-based project team structures - small local teams of various disciplines assigned to specific tasks distributed and derived from an overall project goal.  But now the traditional corporate structure has infinitely more "moving parts" to check up on...

Enter the parallel quality improvement leadership team structure - a separate team of individuals responsible for inspecting output, evaluating quality, correcting defects, and improving operations to re-align local project team output with overall organizational mission goals.

In a fully distributed sense, this allows individual local operations to have complete opposite goals than the overall organization, but still net benefits for overall organizational goals at higher levels. 

That is, MMC is a group of profit-taking individuals working under strong Officer quality leadership with community self-regulation and accountability to integrate into an overall charity-giving organization.

Furthermore, this combination is widely applicable and scalable.  Some US states have already started a new class of legal entities known as "benefit corporations" - for-profit corporations with official licensed commitments for portions of their profits to serve charitable purposes. 

Any real-world organization could form a separate "nonprofit" subsidy as a nonstock, cooperative corporation open to all MMC holders.  A business trust could then be established between the parent company and subsidiary.  The parent company performs "for profit" fiat-world business.  The subsidiary performs "non-profit" real-world business through the MMC network charity fees, while also performing "for-profit" crypto-world business.

By appropriate classification and accounting throughout the system, the "charity" and "profit" aspects can be efficiently separated, focused, and grown.  Since the overall MMC network results in a net real-world charitable benefit, any existing corporation can create a non-profit subsidiary entity to perform business denominated in MMC if fellow MMC members vote that it serves their common interests of profit-taking and/or charity-giving.

You lose privacy, which is equally bad.

Yes, and you're wrong.  Losing privacy results from gaining reputation, which can be of great value in a community of cryptotraders.  And there are already enough coins where you can go if you want complete privacy.

You can use a wallet once and walk away, or you can post it on your facebook page to build a reputation and give your votes more community influence.  Reputation and influence in a coin made for voting

And, you need deterministic wallets for community identity, not community reputation.  Reputation is based on the minimum information you need in order to trust someone a required amount.  For example, the community does not need the internal / private chains of a user's deterministic wallet tree.  If a user wants to link / trim / maintain their own account tree information, web wallets / other coins can have that functionality.
