What's the estimate time before the digger runs out of clams?
6 months. Unless he s got more addresses stashed somewhere. I can bet he ll sell his left nut to try to find/get/obrain/steal more. Ending digging is the only survival option.
This is incorrect, unless the rate of "digging" has changed.
"The digger" has dramatically increased the rate of digging since revealing his account "curious" on the forum here.
He has suggested he would post all of his CLAM for sale on Poloniex.
By looking at the order books, this appears to be an honest statement.
That said, there is no way to know if anyone has more addresses "stashed" away somewhere.
I would hope that there are a
great many people, who soon discover CLAM, that have addressed "stashed" away.
The emphasis being on the "great
many people".
In the past, when digs happen, it seems to positively effect the network.
The exception to that rule, of course, is this massive digger, who's claim represented hundreds of thousands of CLAM.
