redacted did you buy 20k xpy in 1 block or did you accumulate it?
if you dont want to answer its ok but that kinda info would give a lot of insight and possibly could map how many real whale accounts they have/had
A great deal of it was mined via hashpoints by 6,000+ hashlet primes (purchased at an average of $29) and maybe 4k or 5k worth of other hashlets (mostly Zens) - my miners were spread across three different accounts. I bought 8 or 10 BTC worth of XPY off paybase via the credit card option when it was available, a bunch more in maybe 20 or 30 BTC chunks worth of XPY per day for a few weeks from various exchanges. I think my largest daily buy was around 75 BTC off Cryptsy when things were 'really rolling".
NB I was nowhere near being a top 10 account - I don't think any of my accounts ever even broke into top 100 spots on the richlist...
I also got stuck with many Th/s worth of Genesis hashlets when they shut those down.....
