How many total coins?
Here's something that might be worth knowing too.
Let's compare:
Expanse, 11,000,000 premine with 1,100,000 available immediately. Block target 1 minute and 8 EXP block reward. 4,207,680 EXP mined per year. Time to match premine = 2 years, 7 1/2 months
Ethereum, 72,000,000 premine to prerelease investors, devs, contributors, and their foundation. Block target 15 seconds and 5 Ether block reward. 10,519,200 Ether mined (and staked in future) per year. Time to match premine = 6 years 10 months
Shift, 250,000 premine. Block target 12 seconds (in theory, its first post says average blocktime is higher) and 3 SHF block reward. 7,889,400 (theoretical) mined (or staked in future) per year. Time to match premine = 12 days.
Edit: Shift target is 11 seconds, so math is slightly off, but you get the picture.
Yes, you're right, but there is one small detail, ETH and EXP are on Poloniex, where volume is.
I wrote above, lack of buyers=dump. Miners have bills to pay and they don't even know why should they hold.
Just one correction as I see someone was taking data from the pre announcement or early discussion for EXP, SHIFT does have a much lower premine/reserve and I wish the SHIFT team all the best, but the correct numbers are as follows for EXP -- Available Supply is: 337,207 EXP / Total Supply is: 11,337,207 EXP (Total supply is to be used over years and we are nowhere close to considering any of it being released, and it is time locked with smart contracts once it does start to be used in the future to pay for 3rd party development)
We are very much about cooperation and new open source developments based on the Ethereum Platform. I would not have commented again in this thread, other than this information above is incorrect for EXP. You can check Coinmarketcap. (It was considered that way early on, 1,100,000 available, but the community decided they would rather have more of it locked away for the future, so that is what we have done and that was changed before launch)
