Title: Circulating Supply / Outstanding - terminology question Post by: someone111 on April 20, 2017, 11:08:03 AM https://coinmarketcap.com/ "Circulating Supply" - is it the coins on the market or the coins that have been already mined?
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/tor/ what does "Outstanding" stand for? The coins that will yet be mined? Title: Re: Circulating Supply / Outstanding - terminology question Post by: BTCLovingDude on April 20, 2017, 11:27:15 AM in coinmarketcap, "Circulating Supply" means the supply that has been available. this can be through mining or other ways. some coins are 100% premined then distributed among people. or some other crazy ways some of these altcoins distribute!
in short it is sum of all the coins that has been created and are "circulating" the system. sorry i don't know what Outstanding is, i will take a look and if i came up with anything i will edit this. edit: i think it is a financial term they used (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/outstandingshares.asp) since when i compare the numbers, they are the same as Circulating Supply. for example for TorCoin that you linked the number is 1,212,985 TOR same as circulating supply in coinmarketcap. same for litecoin: 50,729,057 LTC Title: Re: Circulating Supply / Outstanding - terminology question Post by: Sundark on April 20, 2017, 11:40:10 AM https://chainz.cryptoid.info/tor/ what does "Outstanding" stand for? The coins that will yet be mined? I don't think so. There is help function integrated on that website and you can see description of every field.According to it, "Outstanding" is: Total number in the blockchain. When you click on that field you will see interactive Inflation Chart. |
