estimated altcoin supply over the next 10 years?
thanks
OK so estimating coin supply of DRKSLK in 10 years time with the 45,000,000 instamine for SILK swap taken into account:
There is a 42,000 block period where PoW mining can take place.
This doesn't mean that every block of the 42,000 block mining period is a PoW block because after 4 hours and 420 blocks the coins mined will mature and then can be staked and this will generate PoS blocks that go toward the tota 42,000 blocks where PoW mining can take place.
But let's imagine no PoS blocks are generated and every wallet doesn't stake (which won't happen but we are imagining):
5,256,000 minutes in 10 years (we are ignoring leap years).
PoW blocks are every 60 seconds and the block reward is 42.
42,000 x 42 = 1,764,000DRKSLK over the course of 42,000 minutes/PoW blocks/1 Month.
5,214,000 minutes remain of the 10 years in question and we have 1,764,000DRKSLK in circulation.
PoS blocks are every 64 seconds and are a static PoS reward of 1 and with split stake.
5,124,000 minutes / 64 seconds = 4,803,750DRKSLK produced from PoS.
So after 10 years the estimated amount to be in circulation is 51,567,750DRKSLK.
Bearing in mind PoS throws things out a bit.
So in 10 years time (estimated) this would leave 38,432,250DRKSLK which would equate to 73 more years till the total supply of 90,000,000DRKSLK is met.
83 years total for the total coin supply to be met from the zero hour (moment of launch).
What in fact will happen is that after 420 blocks stake will happen which will effectively knock the amount of PoW blocks generated during the 42,000 block period in half.
This would then in fact produce just 893,180DRKSLK roughly during that period from both PoW and PoS blocks. Add on the 4,803,750DRKSLK from PoS over 10 years and add on the 45,000,000DRKSLK premine/instamine we have 50,697,720DRKSLK in circulation in 10 years time.
Short answer, 50.7Million
However, the premine isn't a definite and the way the launch is handled is also not final.
