Good post. I like the attention to detail.

I would guess the market cap of PKR is $50. There are 5 coins in circulation with the highest and most recent buy order priced @ $10. (The 5 unmined coins don't factor in, afaik.)

I think market cap is determined more by how much someone is willing to pay for something, rather than what the buy/sell order is listed @. To make this more of a real world example, PKR could be traded on exchanges where there are no buy/sell commissions to move the price upwards without incurring costs. That tendency could partly explain how some alts and market caps become overinflated over time.

Good topic for discussion.
