Title: Re: 10 millions Post by: mjc on March 06, 2013, 09:49:43 PM Actually: 10,864,575
http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/ But then there are even fewer as a result of something like 70% have never moved or have not moved in the past year. sometihngl ike that. So there are a number of 50 BTC blocks that exist and haven't moved. Then there are wallets with hundreds or thousands in a given wallet.

See http://statistics.ecdsa.org/ (http://statistics.ecdsa.org/), for example. I might be wrong though.
