I just ran a quick analysis on the blockchain.
Out of the 192386 blocks currently mined, very many of them
have a BTC 50 block reward that has never been spent.
To be exact, 41493 blocks have an unspent reward.
That is worth approximately BTC 2'074'650.00 (not counting fees).
That's 2 Million+ pristine coins hoarded, or about 20% of the BTC market cap.
Can you make an analysis to check if these coins really are lost:
"Bitomat.pl Loss
