Don't know what is wrong but if my math is right, BTX should be around the top50 coins in coinmarketcap at the moment.. The numbers are way off, weird.
very strange indeed
How clear does it need to be for you coinmarketcap? This perfectly explains it to you:
CMC lists an incorrect marketcap for quite a few coins.
Anyway.. to clear a few misconceptions, circulating supply means coins that have recently been sent or addresses known to be active (CMC gives no indication of the time cut-off however). A fairly stupid measuring metric to be honest.
Total marketcap are coins generated 'to date' or in existence at any given point.
If coins were sent to an address; and the owner lost the private key - this does not affect the marketcap total, as said coins still exist and are valid on the blockchain.
The Bitcoin holders 'forked' coins don't matter, if they were reimbursed with BTX due to the snapshot - the BTX they were sent already existed beforehand.
To find the to the minute (and correct) coinmarketcap:
Ensure your baking tray is lightly greased, along with a txindex'd copy of bitcored, mix with python 2.7 and gently stir python-bitcoinrpc library in (pip install python-bitcoinrpc). Don't forget to add your rpcuser/pass otherwise rpc comms will fail.
We can see as of block 95,338; a total of 16,678,946.0337BTX are in existence.

Nobody is asking you to count the airdrop wallet. Calculating the circulating supply should be a piece of cake, thanks.
