RE: SteemReports - About Witness Voting (and Proxy versus Direct Voting)
How many levels deep are you tracking proxy votes?
If account A proxies to account B which proxies to account C which votes for witness D, will you count A, B, and C or just C and B?
I've just tracked to 4 levels deep (after 3 there was no increase in proxy votes), and it did make a difference, but there are still a couple of adjacent transpositions. I haven't taken account of SP delegation, I wonder if this could be the missing factor.
Thanks for your help, the graph has been updated.
I thought I remember reading somewhere that delegated SP doesn't impact your witness vote, but I might be wrong about that. You could probably jump into steemit chat and get some answers from some devs there. Good luck!
I might do that. Thanks.
It's so close now that it could just be time differences on when the orders were calculated I guess.
Oh yes, I didn't think of going deeper that one level of proxy references, that could explain it. Thanks again!
I was assuming entering a proxy which was itself using a proxy wouldn't be permitted, but didn't try it. It's quite confusing if this is permitted, as that code would then have to check for circular references or assume a limited number of levels too wouldn't it, which makes the calculation quite obscure.
I might need to try and find the relevant C++ code at some point if I've time.
