Thanks rdw, however:
But how about the remaining coins still not accounted for:
5 million IONs will be available through the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) in exchange for BTC and a wide selection of other cryptocurrencies.
3.4 million IONs are allocated to ionomy.com and shall be distributed as structured incentives to gamers through the gaming applications designed by ionomy.com.
2.5 million IONs are reserved to pay bounties for coin development. done
I agree, asked ceforce, he said it was whole top 70 or so rich wallets. I dunno what address is related to what amount.
And the ICO bitcoins of course - where are those?
As for the XPY burn - they claimed to have collected 10 million XPY but only burned about half of it. AFAIK they haven't even published the addresses of the coins that haven't been burned yet.
10 mil? Can you explain?
Yes the burn was after ico and was published elsewhere too. I did not ask the question, just looked for the chart. Can you eleborate on dev bounty, should this be burned and yeah, sounds like worth looking into. Even only to confirm or deny what is suggested here
o0o0 already explained the thing with XPY - they burned only about half of what they claimed to have collected, so either lied about how much they took in or they lied when they promised to burn it, your pick.
As for dev bounty - the address
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ion/address.dws?ih4X5nhzYVi6Nd4tcGX1qvtC47dzdThZV8.htm(which I think you posted yourself a while ago) was supposed to be the original dev bounty address and it had ~2.5 million ION at one point, so it's all good.
Now the dev bounty is a set of 25 addresses 100k ION each, all good as well.
I tried to see how that 2.5 million ended up in the 25 addresses and it's all very convoluted. I'm quite certain these are not the same coins. Probably doesn't matter much but it just shows that accounting is messed up at the ION World Headquarters. You can just trust them saying that top 70 addresses are theirs. There is no reason why they couldn't provide accurate numbers and addresses.
