Looks like XMR is rebounding strongly. Hopefully this is a trend reversal.
The recent price decrease was not due to Mintpal XMR being sold. Those are not held by Ryan.
its not held by the original mintpal owners either. they seem to have the wallet but not the key. they say ryan has the key. so 100K xmr are lost?
The key is the only relevant part of the wallet. The rest of the files are irrelevant. The bin file is just a cache of some blockchain data and the address file is just the public address.
If Ryan has the key, then he has the coins. (I don't know if this is the case.)
