It's been rumored that one entity contributed 3000 BTC. Is there any way to proove this? While it is not entirely possible to disproove it, maybe it would be possible to show how the rumour came to life, if it is, in fact, just a rumour.
If it is true, this entity holds the majority of coins at the moment.
It came to life when Sasha moved the first Bitcoins to the Coinbase wallet which were around 3k BTC. That's it. You can check it out on the blockchain.
Ok so lets say he moved them but Why is he able to touch the ico funds though? is Sasha the escrower? Why is he able to touch the btc?
For safekeeping of the funds Waves is using Coinbase Vault with 2of3 multisignature solution. The raised funds will be sent every 15 minutes with a script to the following BTC address. This should happen pretty soon. The majority of funds (3470 BTC out of 3500 BTC that were raised) are already on the deposit address of the vault.
You can check the amount of escrowed funds in real time here: https://blockexplorer.com/address/3DWBSSAue32YS8PcW2gLs6m52BCCv3UgDA
If you have questions regarding the escrow process please PM me, as I can't follow this whole thread (its super fast!).
