ERC20 Token successfully deploy without owner

Question

I have deployed my ERC20 token contract onto the Rospten network, when I checked on the Etherscan and I can't see my account appear in the Holder list. Why is that ?

Etherscan determines token balances by watching for the Transfer event. In your constructor function:

constructor()
    public
{
    totalSupply_ = INITIAL_SUPPLY;
    balances[msg.sender] = totalSupply_;
}

you are assigning the totalSupply_ to msg.sender's balance, but without emitting an event Etherscan is unaware of this.

The typical way to handle a token minting event is to show the transfer as originating from 0x00. Add the following line to the constructor and the balance should display properly on Etherescan and other block explorers.

emit Transfer(address(0), msg.sender, totalSupply_);
