On the forums and Discord channels there has been lots of conversation regarding the distribution and ownership of Safex coins.
I’ve taken on the task of compiling some statistics regarding the distribution of Safex. I plan to do this on a weekly (or monthly if weekly is OTT). I’ll also be comparing period-to-period to show how the distribution of Safex is going.
Please keep in mind, these statistics are by no means perfect. I’m working with the data given to me from Omni Wallet’s data API. Please keep in mind, many high volume holders store their Safex across multiple wallets. These statistics are based on wallet distribution, rather than individual ownership, which would be VERY difficult for me to work out.
Note - This list excludes the Bittrex Exchange address.
I’m open to suggestions of what other statistics you want to see. The Omni Wallet API is fairly limited, but if you can work out the logic i’m sure it can be gathered some how.
Can you create a column with percentage of each range? Doing that we can also monitor total percentage in Exchanges (100% - sum of total percentages on this table).
This is great data, but I’d be interested to know what this means in terms of voting power. It looks to me like maybe the top 50 or so control the market?
Wonderful idea! It’s great to see how Safex community is growing and how developers cooperate with contributors. As I understood Bittrex Safex holders are excluded from the list? Isn’t it a big chunk of all holders?
Yes Bittrex is removed from any statistics i do. It’s easy to see how much Safex is on Bittrex, and i’ll be closely monitoring how much the address holds daily. However, i’m not aware of any API on Bittrex i can tap into to work out how many individual holders there are within their platform.
First: These people don’t know each other and for 50 strangers to form some sort market controlling entity is very, very unlikely. 50 people in full agreement with each other is already very difficult.
Second: they don’t control the market. It wouldn’t be decentralised, wouldn’t it? The voting powers are more likely to be used for the direction of the whole safex project. 1 create safex, 2 create chille blockchain, 3 create market place, 4 create decentralised storage place, 5 who knows? (messengers, email, etc etc).
I am very curious to know what will happen with the airdrop and future distribution of the Chille dividends to the accounts of large quantities of Safex which my be lost, forgotten ,etc. A significant number of top 25 holders have had zero activity for over a year, which makes it seem that some of these early buyer have forgotten about there initial investment.
Will Ivana be able to determine if these accounts are still viable, and if not, will active accounts receive the Chille coins which would have been distributed to the lost accounts?
On a side note, it is unfortunate that an exchange like Bittrex would be paid dividends for Safex, as I’m sure a significant supply will remain on their exchange well after launch.
If I bought some SAFEX when it first launched and disappeared for 10 years I would be very unhappy to login 10 years in and find I didn’t have any chille coins
I wouldn’t mind seeing a breakdown of time since last transfer for addresses. Maybe a breakdown of Safex fund percentages moved in the last year, six months, 3 months, week, etc.
