That is the coins to be issued , previous link was on coinmarketcap is for coins in circulation. Note that number is from PoW and does not include coins minted from PoS.
How many are in the dev's wallet that are set to be distributed for folding, then? Only two million?
Not sure on the number as I don't have direct access to the pool, but most of the coins are probably in cold storage.
I'm confused on how the transparency really works, then.
So there are 27+ million curecoins in "circulation", meaning that the only curecoin that aren't included in this number are ones that haven't been mined, correct?
And so within that 27 million there is a number of coins sitting in cold storage waiting to be distributed to folders, correct? What is that number? To me they're not necessarily in "circulation" if they are in cold storage and yet to be distributed.
And if we can't clearly see the number of coins waiting to be distributed to folders, how can anybody match that up with the stats to confirm there's no shenanigans?
We also have no idea how POS work...
More transparency is needed on all those issues
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/cure/#!rich shows the richlist, those top 6 addresses hold all the premine curecoins waiting to be distributed to folders.
For posterity's sake, these addresses are:
BRVMsiNb6gXq4XsTZ7LvMsktsctBFv51nd (Active 'payout' wallet, holding around 8,629,180 CURE right now. Note that this address isn't online often, it is used to refill the true 'hot' wallet when necessary).

You can check out
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/cure/address.dws?BRTsnn5J8E61ep8mZM4YGuSLmV5wGeZU6N.htm and follow the premine from its source (that's the original premine address).
Right now, the 'cold storage' number is those addresses added together, plus a few hundred thousand sitting around waiting to be paid out for folding rewards.
Some of the coins on the payout pool might have staked, I don't keep up with that. Policy is (I believe) any staked coins from user balances left on the server are rolled into payouts, so it'll push back the folding halving date, or make the folding payouts stretch longer. At any rate, the folding pool payout model should (assuming cc2.0 works as planned) disappear sometime in 2015 and be replaced by a distributed method of coin generation. At that point, the remaining premine won't be transferred to the new chain.
