The numbers are roughly correct, but you need to understand how skewed Paycoin market is.
There are 12 million coins locked up. Only about 50-60k in the open market. So multiplying $11 or whatever it is by 12 million is meaningless. If hey had premined 1 billion coins would the market cap be higher than BTC?
So if i make a coin premine 100% 1 billion coins and sell a single coin to someone for $1 does that make my coins market cap $1 billion? Just curious if thats how it works. Wouldnt trade volume and executed tradesbe a better indicator... i.e transacted value per day?
Yes, it's the value of the coin multiplied by total number of existing coins. Works ok for normal coins, but the 96% premine sitting in "escrow" obviously screws that calculation up.
