It looks like roughly 16MM gas worth of transactions has been getting through on the ethereum network per 10 minutes, because many 0 transaction blocks are getting mined
less than 3000 transactions to distribute all the ICN (assuming 500+ investors didn't provide a ETH withdrawal address)
Token-sending transactions use about ~3.5x the gas of a normal ETH sending transaction, so around ~75000 gas per transaction.
(75000 gas per transaction)×(3000 transactions) = 225MM gas
(225MM gas) ÷ (96MM gas per hour) = 2h 20m
It would take iconomi a minimum of 2h 20m to send out all the ICN withdrawals.
If they increase the gas price of their transactions to 20x the normal rate of 0.00000002 ETH per gas:
(225MM gas)×(0.00000040 ETH per gas) = 90 ETH
If they wanted to distribute all the ICN with the network in its' current state, I estimate they could do it in less than 4 hours for less than 90 ETH
LOL this change will be huge for ETH if they rise costs like 20x... From 1-side it will secure network but that makes using ETH network it will be HIGH cost.
And that was not planned by anyone who is using ETH for its system.
Imagine that cost of your rent goes up 20x... you will be pissed off hard.
I don't like when someone is changing business rules.
Imagine you planned business on ETH network your business plan got reck becouse your will have to pay 20x more now - brilliant solution
