are there any stats available about how many coins have been claimed?

specifically how many addresses with more than 1000btc2 have not claimed yet?

are there any plans to limit the claim time for wallets with more than 1000btc or to limit the amount claimable per key? i.e. if you have more than 1k btc you can only claim 1k or 500 or whatever arbitrary amount.

other bitcoin forks suffer from constant dumping and have opted for limiting the claim window and/or limiting the amounts claimable, has btc2 considered improving its pumpamentals by reducing the unclaimed supply in this or other manner?

i would assume that what im proposing would require a hardfork so it should be "easier" to do it now that its only listed on a couple exchanges. (im talking out of my ass, i have no clue about the actual difficulty or even feasibility)

it wouldnt be fair to have whales dump on us when the price gets attractive; a couple of whales can fuck up the price badly so thats why i think focusing on big wallets would be more effective than just disabling claims for everyone.

Whales are likely to have multiple addresses anyway and getting a whale on board would be far more important than getting a regular guy on board. So unlikely to differentiate between whales and others when deciding who can claim.

Earlier on this thread we talked about doing such a fork and it seemed people here welcomed it and yes, it would be easier now. We even thought of a way to do it without forced forking which would just make it harder but not impossible to claim BTC2.

It hasn't really been a priority lately because there hasn't been many claims that simply sold straight away after claiming lately. The claiming block height is over a year ago and only true hodlers are likely to remember their private keys of that time since they still have the same addresses. But a coinmarketcap listing could still let more of those people know that they have something to claim.

No actual stats have been compiled of how much has been claimed as it would take a lot of blockchain analysis by a program or human to do it but it is a minor %.

There are cons to stopping claims, such as perception about it of those that don't yet own BTC2 and keeping the supply unaffected would make our coin market cap look high and make it easier to be in the top 100 at coinmarketcap. The solution we are most likely to do would not affect this supply number. Then again Bitcoin private did a coinburn more than a month ago and yet coinmarketcap did not update their circulating supply, yet anyway.

I do not like the idea of hard fork, but somehow it is necessary to protect oneself from dump on of coins, for example, by exchanges.
