Steem Power Growth - Chart Hack

in #steem5 years ago

I've been asked on numerous occasions to produce a chart showing Steem Power growth over time. It would be nice to see, and I'm aware that there is a chart at https://steempeak.com/me/dashboard that gives recent growth, but it seems to go back a few months in time - I've not clicked the 'load more data' button' to find out how far as yet.

Is there anywhere you can see a chart of your SP history?

After receiving confirmation from SteemSQL boss @arcange that the data isn't held in my favourite access point, I thought I'd have a go a putting something together anyway. This is another Post that almost hit the trash, but with a bit of glue and a lot of fudge, I have something reasonabily OK to present. That being said, this is NOT accurate and should only be seen as a guide.

  1. Add the power-downs together, stick a 'minus' in front and group by date
  2. Add the transfers_to_vesting together and group by date
  3. Add the rewards in VESTs together and group by date

The SQL bods among you will instantly notice where the fudge is, relating to (3) above:

select sum(sp), cast(month(timestamp) as varchar(20)) + '/' + cast(year(timestamp)as varchar(20)) from (
    select cast(left(deposited, len(deposited)-6) as float)*-1 as sp, timestamp from VOFillVestingWithdraws where from_account = 'abh12345' union all
    select amount as sp, timestamp from txtransfers where [from] = 'abh12345' and type = 'transfer_to_vesting' union all
    select reward_vests*515/1000000 as sp, timestamp from TxClaimRewardBalances where account = 'abh12345'
) x group by cast(month(timestamp) as varchar(20)) + '/' + cast(year(timestamp)as varchar(20))
order by cast(month(timestamp) as varchar(20)) + '/' + cast(year(timestamp)as varchar(20)) asc

Yep, I just made up the number for the STEEM per MVESTS. Today we are at around 498.5 STEEM per MVESTS, I suspect this number started almost 3 years ago at 450/460. I'm thinking that if I could find a history of STEEM per MVESTS, it would be possible to produce a more accurate chart....

Does anyone know if this STEEM/MVEST history is available anywhere?

Despite the inaccuracies, I can still see a couple of points of interest. August/September 2017 - full time to Steem and a nice move on the chart. September 2018/Now - Slow gains due to power-downs, and ending with a decline in February (so far).

I'm not as excited as I thought I would be to have this chart, probably because I know it's not accurate, and I can see visually that the last few months have been slow (when really they should be showing faster growth).

Alright, who wants a wonky chart? You get what you pay for I guess :P

I thought you could use VOFillVestingWithdraws to create a time-series of STEEM / MVEST ratio. When I actually tried it, I found some really crazy data, but it might still be worth a look if you scrub outliers from the data set.

I do love some crazy data :D

Yeah I think the link from dalz below is pointing that way. I'm not a BC coder though and would need a price history table somewhere to get hold of these values. However:

This data was derived from analyzing every fill_vesting_withdraw operation on the Steem blockchain and determining the rate at which each user was able to power down that day. It's not a perfect value obviously and there are variations for many different reasons. src

Seems it's not spot on, but could still be the best place to look.

Just as an fyi i have clicked for what seemed like an eternity and you can go back to the start of your account on steempeak. I have climbed that everest and I am a survivor.

I'm interested to see it

A seemingly slow start, were you powering down as you went or did it just take some time to gain traction?

Looking a it better recently though :)

I signed up and mainly lurked at the start. Wasn't really sure of my place here.

I have been looking in the STEEM/VESTS ratio recently and found this:

https://steemit.com/steemdev/@jesta/historical-rates-for-vests-and-steem

It is by @jesta ... but there is data only for 2016 and 2017 :)

There is a querie on the bottom of the post so maybe it can help. Although it is noticed in the post that this method is not a 100% accurate as well.
It seems that this is a hard number to find :)

Thanks @dalz!

Well at least we know that this number is a tricky one :)

Sadly that's code I'm not au fait with but perhaps someone can give me a an up to date list of the file presented. It would be nice to be able to scrape this list from somewhere too :)

Cheers!

@abh12345, Interesting chart. May be it's not perfect but in my opinion for your efforts to come up with this work is appreciable brother. Stay blessed.

Thank you @chireerocks, you are forever positive and credit to you for this :)

Welcome brother. And thank you so much for your kind and blessful response.

I wrote a post about a year ago
https://steemit.com/steemdev/@holger80/how-to-estimate-historic-steempermvests-values-for-converting-old-rewards-from-vest-to-steem
that might help in estimating the STEEM/MVEST history.

Nice work last year, and a good prediction too:

I have bookmarked. It's a similar method to the ones mentioned by dalz and joseph I think.

Estimations are OK, is there really no accurate way to plot SP from day 1?

Interesting stuff you bring up @abh12345!

I'm willing to take my chances here, although I expect mine to be a wonky zig-zaggy thing, due to a couple of major power-downs. Hopefully I'll be done with that, at last....

Thank you :)

Yes, not in trend with the others I've pulled up so far. I'm actually quite sad to see this, and hope that you can build back up again following needs-musts. It's also a stark reminder that I need to find some fiat income soon, or else the 'wilting flower' look my chart has could follow yours.

Ah well, hopefully better times ahead.

Holy crap! @denmarkguy. ¡Wadda Chart! Uhm yeah, now I feel the duty to give to you and to Asher some generous gulps of my 'Redbull Special' beverage to grow to both of you a good pair of strong wings asap. };)

Well that has woken me up!

If you listen very carefully, there is a rhythm, somewhere, I think!

Rhythm!! yeah, I think so mate! As long as you can also dance while reading simultaneously, you are done.

¿I already woke you up 'completely' now? :)

Yeah, I was afraid it would look like that. But thanks for running the numbers... the "obvious" culprit was simply large incoming expenses against a shrinking NON-crypto income from our businesses. The secondary culprit, however, was not having the time to rebuild as fast because I went from typically 2-3 posts per day and 40-odd comments to... two posts a week and rarely any time to comment.

The social part makes a huge difference, seriously. This would look a lot different if I still had the time/effort availability to generate a few $20-50 posts.

I fully intend to build this back up, though.

@denmarkguy you have the nub of it

not having the time to .... 2-3 posts per day and 40-odd comments to... two posts a week and rarely any time to comment.

My emphasis. I have spent the entire morning here and need to get on with thing. LOL

Yes please hit me up :) I think it should be relatively steady growth, I did a couple small powerdowns in there at various times for various reasons but have been relatively steady in posting for the most part.

It seems that your best gains were made when other charts were going pretty steady. The Powerdowns are barely noticeable also.

There are some comments above that could help make things a little more accurate. I'll wait for someone else to have a go now :)

that one big jump around dec/jan18 was actually an accident, I accidentally powered up my entire steem balance instead of the portion I intended to (I had just received a large bonus from Curie for one of my recommended curators performing exceptionally well over first 6 weeks). While I was earning a decent amount of Steem from Curie I was doing a mix of powering up and taking some off platform to invest in other coins (plus ~25% I donated through contest sponsorships and what not). For the most part there was an inverse relationship between earnings from Curie and earnings from my posting; the more time I spent at curie, the less time I spent at posting. So that helped keep my chart steady I think, no matter how I was spending my time on steem

EDIT - and now that I am spending my time more at @c-squared, that time doesn't actually result in any earnings for me so I have flattened off a bit lately with less posting

I noticed a big issue at the end of your chart!

That would be the 'wilting flower' look :(

😁

I see a decrease. 2 more years and you are Steem bankrupt 😜

I have been powering down for food n stuff.

However, interview next Tuesday so maybe that chart will brighten up again :D

Hi Asher, one wonky chart please.

Another fairly steady out of the blocks but some rather tasty gains in the last quarter of 2018. Cheers to that!

Thanks Asher. Looks right to me and not wonky at all.Tried to keep it steady, but musings cocked that line up lol.
