Total ether never accessed in ETH:
= 9,797,324.72 ether
= never accessed + accessed in ETC
= 9,295,269.6 (94.9%) + 502,055.11 (5.1%)

Accounts accessed in ETH
= 6,650
= never accessed in ETC + accessed
= 200 (3%) + 6450 (97%)

Total ether accessed in ETH
= 50,311,181.54 ether
= never accessed in ETC + accessed
= 6,484,054.51 (12.9%) + 43,827,127.03 (87.1%)
