Visualizing the #KinesisMoney $KAU "Emissions account".

Kinesis says the "Emissions account" is supposed to be both the mint and the redeem address.

The on chain data looks different. Image
It's the "Root account" that seems to be the real mint along with the "Inflation account' and the "Other inflation account". These are the three accounts that transfer out tokens they never received in the first place. This is what would be traditionally thought of as "minting". Image
The Root account has no inflows, it only has outflows. The outflows go to the "Emissions account" (3,060,512 $KAU) and to the "Inflation account" (110 $KAU).

It looks like this 👇 Image
Here is the "Inflation account" it has 110.17 $KAU of inflows and 474,791.28 $KAU of outflows. Image
Here is the "Other inflation account". It has 26.91 $KAU of inflows and 475,648.52 $KAU of outflows.

It looks like this 👇 Image
In conclusion, the blockchain data appears to show less than 4 million $KAU that have been repeatedly cycled through the "Emissions account" to arrive at the figures of 48,976,675.9959 KAU minted and 47,568,311.2704 redeemed. Image
Most of this activity took place between audits of the gold and silver backing the system. This activity stopped abruptly with a very large 174,000 $KAU ($10.8 million) transaction just hours before the last audit (June 2022) began. 👇

Is the picture becoming clearer yet? ImageImage
To provide further perspective 👇

347,800 in $KAU fees were generated between November 2020 and June 2022 (92% of total $KAU fees).

53,400 in $KAG fees were generated during the same time period (75% of total $KAG fees).
Most of this volume which in turn generated the majority of all #KinesisMoney fees and revenue to date, was likely "mint cycling" 👇

👆Can we hereby christen this the #KinesisMoney "Mint Cycle Scheme"?

Similar, but definitely not the same as the "Flywheel Scheme," although they do have their own $KVT security token which does come into play.

@ParrotCapital After the fact that Kinesis had shifted more than 2/3 of their gold to Turkey and converted much of their LBMA holdings to non-LBMA Kinesis branded bars, they stopped reporting the distribution of their assets between vaults.
@ParrotCapital Stranger still, despite all the fanfare about Kinesis "big Indonesia project", none of their "audits" have ever indicated any gold stored in Indonesia and Indonesia specifically requires LBMA gold.

@ParrotCapital Read the audits for yourself and note that Kinesis continues to misrepresent ABX "audits" as Kinesis audits

Disninformation Derek is on a roll today

Kinesis' BS "blockchain" is fully centralized and fully operated and controlled by Kinesis. They change the code at will. Bitcoin it is not.

ABX is "audited" Kinesis is not.

forum.kinesis.money/threads/joe-br…

Image
ABX's "audit" doesn't even provide details on which vault stores which assets or the gross or fine weight of these assets.

Totally worthless "audit"

As of Jan 2023 (the last audit provided location detail) KInesis was shifting most holdings to Turkey.

How can a "decentralized* blockchain" forget to pay out the yields?

*not really but Kinesis says so in the whitepaper (pages 3, 6, 23)

kinesis.money/resources/kine…

Is Kinesis the company really claiming they are not a "central authority" at the center of their "monetary system" and their "blockchain"?

🤣🤡

If they are not a "central authority" why do they have to take some action to ensure the yields are paid?

kinesis.money/resources/kine…
If Kinesis is not a "central authority", how can they "freeze accounts" and "freeze assets" in their "monetary system"?

What's this?

Why are Kinesis Money users complaining that they haven't received their February yields yet?

There are blockchain transactions related to Feb 2023 yields on Mar 1 2023

How can the payout lag by a week or more?

What happened to this?

"Through Kinesis blockchain wallet technology, our users – whether an individual or organisation – can easily send digitised physical gold or silver anywhere in the world, with settlement times of just 3 seconds, 24/7."

The February fees look a little thin

1448 $KAU ($85,822) + 807 $KAG ($21,257 ) = $107,079

This is down over 98% from the peak

The peak was over $6 million, reached in April 2021

Does this look like a growing "monetary system"?

No that would be another Kinesis promise broken

$KVT yields were to be paid by the end of 2021

They're now 16 months in default on that

And what about the $KVT buy-back program?

Any news on that?

forum.kinesis.money/threads/yields…

kinesis.money/resources/kine…
5% of revenue* to date is about about $1.2 million USD. Has Kinesis spent $1.2 million USD buying back $KVT?

They're still giving $KVT away in exchange for creating artificial volume on their exchange and even selling some in a one-way market *claimed

If there was an open market for $KVT and the price dropped below 5% of "listing price" (whatever that is), Kinesis would be on the hook to spend 20% of revenue or almost $5 million USD to buy back $KVT

Look at that, the Kinesis community found still more Kinesis Money audit oddities!

forum.kinesis.money/threads/my-not…

A 100 gram bar was recorded as 10.967 ounces (341.112 grams)

Page 4 👇

kinesis.money/wp-content/upl…
dsr7654 didn't realize that 1,000 ounces silver bars don't weigh exactly 1,000 ounces

However, he or she points out that they did weigh 1,000 ounce bars

Page 51 & 52

kinesis.money/wp-content/upl…
This begs the question, why were none of the 974 1,000 ounce silver bars stored in Liechtenstein weighed?

That audit report is missing the "weighment" section entirely

That vault stores more than 1/3 of the silver
