Okay danke. Das heisst dann, dass 72 Millionen die finale Anzahl sein wird oder ist da eine Inflation eingebaut?
Noch eine andere Frage. Zum Start von Ethereum hatte coinmarketcap eine Gesamtanzahl der Coins von gut 60 Millionen ausgewiesen. Jetzt sind es 72 Mio. Was steckt dahinter? Ich dachte die Coin wäre POS
The Genesis block contained 72 Million. Out of this 60 Million was generated for the crowdsale contributors (who paid in BTC). Another 12 million was locked in a contract which has been "activated" recently.
So technically the initial supply was always 72 million. No surprised there.
There is no maximum. 60,102,216 ethers were created during the sale, plus 2x pools of 9.9% each. 26% of 60,102,216 will be created through mining every year. This means that 15,626,576 will be created every year on top of the 60m and the two pools.
After a while, 15,626,576 ether won't represent much of the total ether available, making the system dis-inflationary (i.e., inflation perpetually trending towards 0 but never reaching it).
