but I remember a couple of posts back John mentioned that he could produce a screenshot with 100,000,000
This was a response to a troll newbie account who stated he is a huge investor and who tried getting away with a bad html edited picture as a proof.
There is an emission curve in the original whitepaper:
http://vanillacoin.net/papers/vanillacoin.pdfThis is somewhat outdated since rewards drop currently every 50k blocks instead of the 40k that was the original number, but it can give you the rough picture. There is somewhere a better graph, but can't find it just now.
Total amount of coins now: 11734861
From the source code:
/**
* The maximum coin supply is 30717658.00 over 13 years
* Year 1: 15733333.00
* Year 2: 23409756.00
* Year 3: 27154646.00
* Year 4: 28981324.00
* Year 5: 29872224.00
*/
I don't think we will see 15.7 million by the end of the year, you just cannot measure Proof-of-Stake blocks. I think we are on track to see ~13 million instead. This is good in that incentive rewards will last for 150 years instead of only 9. Inflation will also drop quicker than estimated.
Thank you for your support.
