I give you my theory. The main pool is ghash.io.
According to this statement:
https://support.cex.io/entries/40043388-Phone-verification-and-2FAThey have over 100,000 cex.io users. Let's suppose each of them, on average, have something like 90 IXC in his online wallet, worth on average less then 10 $, it means:
100,000 * 90 = 9,000,000
If we add other 10 big holders having between 420,000 (2%) and 840,000 (4%) = 6,000,000
Plus an other 200 "small" holders having between 10,500 (0,05%) and 63,000 (0,3%) = 3,000,000
It means 50% of the coins have been simply forgotten by the holders, now progressively collected by cex.io in exchange of gh/s. An other 40% is in the hands of holders, big and small. The remaining 10% is what you see on the exchanges.
Conclusion: without cex.io's unaware holders, at least 50% of the coins are like lost, or unused.
That's a solid theory and it explains why there's never any big sellers.
So the CEX wallets, those belong to the individuals, right? Are all 100,000 accounts merge mining?
What about bitparking, they merge mined for a long time.
This is what I was trying to say. It would appear that iXcoin has well over 100,000 shareholders, holding more than half of the total coin supply.
This is a best case scenario which brings long term stability to a coin.
And this is the kind of distribution which has a massive synergistic effect in lifting up the colonists or colonies.
Over 100,000 holders versus a few thousand for BTC. iXcoin keeps getting better and better the more you look at it. There really is no coin with these stats out there.
This distribution advantage should be somewhere on the website cause it's yet one more thing no other coin can match.
