you have to look at the convergence of those small 500 reward blocks in on a few addresses.
look at these transactions:
http://explorer.darkcoin.io/block/0000000006586ffdc84c36dd4f2c869d01da4fbd49a632ef0432118d885fe357...
not with the dataset quoted, because of the limit 15 there at the end, you are only seeing top 15.
mysql>
select dest_addr
, count(1)
, min(blocknum)
, max(blocknum)
, (select sum(val) from generation ig where ig.dest_addr = og.dest_addr and ig.blocknum < 4500) as mined...
my figures only touch 20 thousand blocks, but it's easy enough to restrict stuff to whatever block you like, for example. this is the earliest addresses show up in the block chain:
here, for example, is a list of when the top addresses appear.
min(blocknum) column is when the address first...
Ahem ?
I think that demonstrating the ability to follow transactions through the block chain, ability to infer connections from facts in the chain, being able to present a rational argument without getting personal, and possessing the skills necessary to obtain this kind of data for the kind of...
i forgot to mention, that if you keep following the money from that "mainnet address", eventually it leads you to this transaction: http://explorer.darkcoin.io/tx/634dcd5cc7f7a10f2a2216bd459e4e834bb9c60f478530461f27637e3eb61b0b#o0
where a bunch of the 500 DRK payouts converge from a single...
indeed.
you are correct.
however.
you can see the same address on the "old" chain explorer here: http://explorer.darkcoin.io/address/XgV8FpC6RhkLU1XAxG6yhwsypjvJVGTGez
amount: 144327.085 from this transaction...
furthermore. an address from the "rich list" here (http://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/), payments to top account can be traced back to block 3446, part of the production block chain. within about 4-5 steps.
simply because there's not a massive address at the top with tons of coin is not proof that...
this is false.
there appears to be two paths to the address:
for example, i'm part of a pool with payout going to:
XdjBEyPXHDnGd8XAM4ZVNdssc1TaYuToji (http://explorer.darkcoin.io/address/XdjBEyPXHDnGd8XAM4ZVNdssc1TaYuToji)
but if you take any of those amounts, and look at the block, the...
pardon ?
this info is from darkcoin's explorer that puts the start of the data at 1:40 am Jan 19th:
mysql> select ts, id, reward from blocks order by id limit 15;
+---------------------+------+----------------+
| ts | id | reward |...
It strikes me VERY odd that this was not pre-tested to gauge the payout, and see how the launch would go. There's absolutely NO reason for this kind of error to have made it past even basic eyeball testing. Especially for someone with a financial advisor license.
I think it's worth putting a...
