Small question. I was looking at the top 100 ritchest list and I am wondering why both mintpal and bter are holding such enormous amounts of coins?
Does this have anything to with the 2 attack from the past?
What is to stop them from manipulating the price as they see fit (I assume this is not regulated)?
Yesterday the mintpal line said -10%. If they keep gradually dump their coins, this we keep prices very low for a very long time..

mintpal has all their users coins in ONE wallet. its not mintpal dumping coins. Its stupid people.. Cheesy

When they switched think of it happening like this.

all old addresses were in seperate accounts right. when the attack hit their killed their daemon.
Their database holds the amount that each user on mintpal had in their holdings.

Mintpal got their lost amount sent back to them in their exchange wallet

All users then got their amounts back in c2.1(Only on the website) the coins never moved.(Make sense?)
So all of the users on mintpal(initially) still had their coins in the main wallet.

New users got new generated addresses so those dont apply. (If that makes sense)

Thnx, it makes some sense. Don't really see why they don't split the wallets back up. They now run a hybrid system for coin2. Seems like somewhat of a pain..
In anyway, in that case the top 100 ritchest list doesn't say very much... have of people on it hold less than 300K where the to 2 hold 35 million of an unspecified number of people.
Anyone who wants to hide having a massive amount of coins can easily do so.. Or is that not the purpose of the list?

Sorry, same message with less typos:
