I've been wrecking myself doing fund raisers and pitching in iXcoins myself and all along some rich a-hole (or a hedge fund or bank) with millions of iXcoins has been sitting around just laughing at us.

Those addresses look like an exchange or pools hot/cold wallet - with shuffling funds around to prevent fragmentation.

Pools? I thought about that,

But...

One wallet Alone had at one point over 4 million IXC.

There's no 1 pool with that much IXC.

It would take way too much hash power to accumulate over 4 million IXC.

And if it is a pool, then all those coins would belong to lots of people.

LOTS!!!

So all this time nobody called in their coins? Nobody transferred to a personal wallet, an exchange, and nobody sold any significant IXC? Cause that number only seems to grow, very consistently.

What are the odds of that?

For sure the likes of CEX.io has a lot. Like the 1.5 million IXC wallet. I can believe that much, that's totally possible. But over 4 million?

Anybody know how many merge miners [roughly] we have out there? CEX.io claims 180,000 customers. Are they all merge mining?

That's just 1 pool. So if those are pool coins then that would mean we could have well over 300,000 different people holding some IXC.

And many of them would hold at least 100 IXC.

This would make IXC the most evenly distributed coin in the world.

Would be nice to get someone from one of the major pools chiming in with some real data about individual average IXC holdings for merge miners.

That would be a HUGE revelation, as Jamaer pointed out, the competitive advantage of a well, fair and evenly distributed coin is rare, crucial and takes a long time to accomplish!
