Dear Latium Users,
Thank you for your immense support and activity throughout the first month Latium's existence. By spreading the word about Latium, you have introduced this revolutionary cryptocurrency to every corner of the globe and it's now truly an international sensation.
The Latium Development Team is dedicated improving the efficiency and transparency of the Latium system. In order to provide you with clear documentation on exactly how each Latium coin held by the development team is utilized, we have created Transparency Metrics. These Transparency Metrics will allow anyone, users or non-users, to see in real-time the status of every coin held by the development team. Users have requested more transparency and the Latium Development Team has responded. The goal of these Transparency Metrics is to increase awareness of how the Latium Team holds and distributes coins.
The formula used is very simple. The Latium Development team has designated 4 Wallets to operate the system:
These wallets consist of: 1) Pre-Mine Wallet - All coins in creation, with the exception of coins generated by Proof of Stake interest, originated in this wallet. This wallet's main purpose is to transfer funds to the holding wallet. Transactions coming out of this wallet will be less than 30 transactions per year
2) Holding Wallet: The holding wallet's purpose is to hold large amounts of coins in anticipation of distribution to the payment and administration wallets. Transactions coming from this wallet will be more frequent than the pre-mine wallet and will be paid as required based on the growth of the Latium Community. We anticipate these transactions being less than 10 per month.
3) Payment Wallet: The payment wallet is the heart of the Latium System. Every payment sent out to the Latium Community will be distributed from this wallet. Currently, this wallet pays out between 2,000-5,000 Latium per day. We anticipate this will grow over time.
4) Administrative Wallet: The administrative wallet's sole purpose is provide funds needed to maintain the Latium Network. Funds will be distributed to the Administrative wallet as needed, but as stated earlier, no administrative distributions have taken place to date. The Latium Development Team will always be transparent with notifications prior to administrative wallet distributions.
The total coin supply minus these 4 wallets (and minus any Coin-Kills**) equals total coins in circulation. We feel that providing this transparency allows users to monitor the potential for abuse of pre-mined coins clearly and on a real-time basis. To date, the administrative wallet has never been used OR funded because the Latium Development Team has yet to use any Latium or recoup any of its operating expenses. We do feel in coming months, the necessity of covering administrative costs by the network will be required. We hope the community welcomes this addition to the Latium System and we will continue to work tirelessly to innovate and respond to the demands of the Latium community.
**Coin-Kills: The Latium Development Team has built these transparency metrics keeping in mind the possible necessity of killing coins in the future. To date, no coins have been killed. Notification of any coin-kills will be release prior the coins being killed. We will provide validation of any coins killed.
