Do I hear crickets??
Barabbas, Patrick just answered your question...the stake can not be calculated without the coin weight included.
Excuse me?? What you say is that, in reality,
it is impossible to know how many coins are staking, REAL COINS, at any and all times? Is that it?. Because if that is it, I can't think of any bigger bullshit I have heard in my entire -and quite long- life so far...
So, that is to say that for a coin with 26.8 million coins presently, -which, according to you, are impossible to account for, so it will be an arbitrary, perhaps approximate number-, it is OK to have 30 million or even more coins staking at any given moment? All of that while the exchanges are loaded with MILLIONS of coins available for trading, which are NOT staking? Is that what you are saying? Let me get it from the horse's mouth because my fingers are really itching to type what I am coming with if this bullshit position is even pretended to be maintained...
Now, since you seem to be answering for Patrick (crickets), what is your answer to the transfer of 200,000 VRC to the exchange "to help stabilize the price"? and whatever happened to them? I'm sure you will have abundant answers for those two floaters also...
Yes, it is impossible to know exactly how many coins are staking at one moment. This is the case for every PoS coin. It's not possible to stake more than 26.8M but the "effective" stake could be higher due to coin age.
As for the coins during the hack, I have all of them. I put up both buy and sell walls to ensure that if anyone lost anything, it would be me. I didn't gain or lose any VRC or BTC. I'm not sure how many more times I'll have to answer this, but the only exchange I did anything on was Bittrex and you are free to ask them whether my balance now is the same as before.
