EXPLANATION OF DISTRIBUTION CHARTS
http://www.8-bit.party/#distributionFirst of all, distribution is analyzed using
- total supply (blockchain scan) - obvious
- richlist (blockchain scan) - TOP100 - splitted to 1-10, 11-50, 51-100 parts each showing sum of balances of described addresses
- unspent 112 8BIT inputs (blockchain scan) - MASTERNODE READY - sum of balances (not just 112 inputs) of addresses which have unspent 112 8BIT input
- Bittrex Distribution (API) - BITTREX TOP50 - sum of balances of TOP 50 accounts
- Bittrex Orderbook (API) - BITTREX ASKs - sum of ASKs (first 50 orders)
- Cryptsy Orderbook (API) - CRYPTSY ASKs - sum of ASKs
- masternode list (RPC call) - disabled since unspents are more reliable here
Amounts shown by BITTREX TOP50 and BITTREX ASKs are shared. At this moment half of coins stored on Bittrex is available on first 50 ASK orders. So BITTREX TOP50 is better factor to find out how many coins are kept on Bittrex.
Fortunately market on C-CEX is gone so we do not have to care about it anymore.
Sharp eye for detail will discover that funds kept on masternode-capable address are 57952 8BITs. And our current masternode count peak is 307 (see
http://www.8-bit.party/#masternodes for details). 307 * 112 = 34384. What about those 23568? Yeah, that's true. Seems like many addresses are either not deployed on masternode or inputs are not protected against staking what can break masternode start tx. Finally, seems like many MN operators are not in hurry with collecting earnings from their nodes.
End of theory, here we go with my analysis:
- BLOCKCHAIN TOP100 vs TOTAL SUPPLY

This is how splitted TOP100 looks compared to total coin supply. Only 26% of coins is held by TOP10 addresses. Comparing to other popular coins - this is very nice result.
- CRYPTSY ASKs vs BITTREX TOP50 vs MASTERNODE READY vs TOTAL SUPPLY

Here were see where coins are stored. So, at least 27% coins sits on exchanges. Anoter 28% sits on masternodes or wait to be deployed on masternode. Remaining less than 46% is elsewhere. Enough to stake well.

Same as above but with bittrex orderbook taken instead of bittrex distribution list. At this moment this factor is worse, but it may change in future so I decided to keep both comparisions.

Thank you for the graphs, very insightful.
