why is the 24 high at 28M when total coins is only 26M?
i would like to know that too
Yeah the stake is not directly coins. It's a coin weight that includes coinage (time since last earned interest for each coin). It's essentially normalized including coinage and is close to the total coins staking but a bit more complex. Nonetheless this is some historic staking for POS I suspect and is near the realistic maximum. Impressive show of community strength! Kudos to all you guys! Go VeriCoin!
