Title: How many Bitcoins have never moved? Post by: SgtSpike on March 27, 2013, 05:53:53 PM Is there a tally of "unmoved" Bitcoins (never moved after they were mined) somewhere?

Well, the data is in the block chain that everyone has. I think some people pay attention to the early generation transactions and would mention it on the forums if they started moving, but I don't think I've ever seen an actual list or chart.

Sadly not up to date though. Title: Re: How many Bitcoins have never moved? Post by: kjj on March 28, 2013, 12:03:46 AM Keep in mind that neither of these last two links directly address the original question, as far as I can tell. I didn't re-read the whole paper, but I don't recall it giving a count of generation transactions outstanding.
Also, with multi-output generation transactions (p2pool and others), the notion of "untouched" gets a little less clear. I suppose you could add the outputs individually... |
