Wow, it’s been a really long time without any movement or withdrawals.Did they not know about XEC, or did they deliberately keep it under wraps until today?
I have now ingested the entire XEC UTXO set and built a simple UI so I can ask questions like how much XEC has not moved since block 661647 (block right before BCH/XEC split) or block 478558 (block right before BTC/BCH split). Here's what I found: ~5.6T XEC have not moved since the BTC/BCH split. ~9.6T XEC have not moved since the BCH/XEC split. What this means is that after the BTC/BCH fork back in 2017, 5.6M BCH, and 5.6T XEC, never moved. This is a subset of the 9.6T XEC that hasn't moved since the BCH/XEC split in 2020. If you have any questions, let me know.
Which wallets are those, Sir?
It's not one address but a bunch of addresses where coins have not moved since a certain block height.

well, you have to assume 1.1T of that is Satoshi's. So that leaves about 4.5M BCH that was never claimed after the BTC/BCH fork, which sounds about right. I'm guessing a significant portion of that is lost private keys. Then the remaining 4T XEC that BCH holders didn't move is ei…
