lol...
so i decided to implement a 'poorlist' display in my iquidus explorer code.
(aka Scurvied
)
it revealed an interesting address
NRwgBBzi54psLTNYT6TcMBUtvsLnALifzK
i really do hope its just a precision error in iquidus totalling things up.
otherwise in the FSM blockchain universe a rip has occured in the space around that address.
but if the FSM decrees it, so be it
you can enter that address in the official explorer too and see the same result (hint: balance)

http://coins.dognose.net:3001/richlistps:
i didnt implement the poorlist because i really thought people cared about addresses with dusty amounts, but rather to actually test for glitches in Iquidus code and/or reveal oddities in blockchains.
when i extended the size of the richlist up from 100 to 500 a few bugs were definitely revealed -- and probably why nobody ever increased that size before
the poorlist has already revealed, via significant negative balances, to me something i didnt expect it to reveal -- one blockchain i support i needed to run an Iquidus 'check' (addmissing) because the original database build failed on fetching some blocks (one of the very big weaknesses in the original Iquidus code.) the missing transactions in the database are what led to the negative balances. on very large/old blockchains a sysadmin tends to avoid running a 'check/addmissing' because it takes a long long time and prevents current updates from being done.
i actually support more than one obscure altcoin, and it has occured to me that there is no tool for 'average' crypto users to look at and determine the overall 'quality' of a coin's blockchain when making investment or divestment decisions.
or perhaps when an altcoin scandal is in the news and people are just curious to look for themselves.
i'm sure coders who do blockchain forensics in their sleep have all kinds of tools and scripts up their sleeves, but the average investor and news reader person really is in the dark and too reliant on what others say in forums.
i also plan on in the future implementing address grouping (showing all addresses likely owned by one person) and could likely be most useful in studying the activities of a crypto exchange or pool. again, something blockchain forensic nerds do all the time.
shady operators will never use my resulting Iquidus version
they're probably already avoiding the original Iquidus. one coin i'm into uses Abe explorer, while giving a rich listing does NOT give the in-your-face summary and graphic of the distribution of the richlist like Iquidus would.
it is very bad for a coin that old
Abe is a wise choice for them...
let me know if there is any type of info hiding in a blockchain you think would be useful to people in general, either easily viewed or summarized in some way.
