, fixes for POW2 mining
, fixed SBD interest
, and a new informative welcome screen
.
Before I dive too far into the updates, I wanted to give a small status/personal update.
I've been pretty busy over the last week working on a lot of non-steem related things. I've only been working a couple hours a day on steem related projects, which isn't ideal. That's life though. On a positive note - I've had the opportunity to talk to a lot of new people in the steem community recently, and it's been incredible. The people surrounding this project have been nothing but awesome and supportive. Exciting days ahead, and I'm optimistic about the collective's trajectory.
Anyways, enough with the rambling, here's what just changed on steemstats.com!
Live Post Inspector
This is a feature I'm pretty excited about, thanks to @someguy123 for the inspiration to start the changes. This feature used to be the "Vote Distribution" popup, where you could see the impact of votes on a specific post. I've taken it one step further, and now it's a tool to monitor a post in real time.
One of the coolest features of this new panel (at least I think) is highlighted in the red box in the screenshot above. It's an estimated value of each vote, based on the round shares that the vote brought.
The header also includes some base statistics about the post itself. If you have additional ideas and information you'd like highlighted about a post as you're watching it, please let me know!
Incoming Witness Votes
As someone who started the witness process a couple days ago, I found the need for a way to monitor changes in approval votes. Now if you look in the "Incoming Votes" area under "Activity", you'll find any recent witness votes. This area now also allows you to filter witness votes, allowing for a bit more focus.
Improved Following/Followers Matrix
For each account, you can now see the relationship status between followers. There is a legend at the top of the page to highlight these new relationship statuses. Here's a brief rundown:
- If you're on the "Following" section:
- A checkmark means that the account on top is following the account on the left.
- A blue check in a box means that the accounts are following each other.
- If you're on the "Followed" section:
- A checkmark means that the account on the left is following the account on top.
- A blue check in a box means that the accounts are following each other.
I hope this makes it easier for those of you who keep track of these things!
Reputation
A relatively small change, but the sidebar now shows your reputation.

In closing, a thank you to everyone who has supported my witness application, replied and left feedback, voted on any of my posts, or spent their time chatting with me on steemit.chat.
Over the past month it's been a great pleasure to be a part of this community.
It's a nice job and informative.

I like your page but have a question. Once you start following someone's activity, can you unfollow them. I mean just on the Steemstats page not all of Steem.
You'd have to unfollow them through steemit.com or chainbb.com, or another interface. The steemstats interface doesn't allow interactions, and honestly hasn't been updated in ages :D
Ok. Thanks. I still want to follow the person, so I'll try to Unfollow and then Follow again after that.
Amazing stuff as always!
Another incredible job @jesta I cannot say it enough, the entire Steemit community owes you a huge debt. Your relentless work on steemstats helps everyone and is impressive by all measures. Keep it up and don't get burnt out. We need your talent and creativity for the long haul.
One thought: is there any way to put a vote button on the witness page to easily vote? It would be a nice way for steemstats fans to show their appreciation to be able to easily vote for you (or anyone else on the list).
Thank you @mrosenquist, I'm here for the long haul as far as I can tell ;)
I've thought about ways to add witness voting functionality like that, but currently I don't have any of the authentication style activities developed. Everything's anonymous so far. That's primarily why I added the link at the top to head on over to the witness page here on steemit.com.
Another problem I want to solve is seeing ALL the witnesses you're voting for, not just the top 50. Currently, you have to goto your page on steemd.com like so:
https://steemd.com/@jesta
And scroll down and look in the left column to see who you vote for and who votes for you. Now that I finally am paying attention to how and why witness voting is used, I hope to make a lot of this stuff a lot easier.
Talking future development: Logins is absolutely something I'd like to have. Eventually I would love if you could somehow login to the site if you wanted to use it for voting/posting activities. But it's not something I'll add unless I'm absolutely positive the users would be safe!
The security and privacy should be the paramount issue. You don't want to put your users at risk and tarnish your reputation because of login credential issues. I would not rush into that. It may likely take changes to Steemit.com which could bridge the authentication so users aren't logging into Steemstats directly, but to Steemit and getting a token passed to Steemstats to prove who they are. You would need to work with the Steemit devs and they probably have a mile long list of more important features & fixes.
Hit the nail on the head.
I've spoken with a few of the devs and I haven't been pushing for features like this simply because I know there are more important things to do. Logging into sites like steemstats is relatively low on the "make steemit.com successful" totem pole.
That's also why I'm trying to spend some time every week helping them clear off issues on steemit.com :)
i care your posts
You are thinking strategically and acting tactically. Good for you! (and for us too, as it turns out)
@jesta, thank you, after I looked live post inspector.. I realize the power of whale and dolphin... really.. now I understand about SP can impact your curation reward.... Nice :)
You have my vote others should follow! :)
I just saw it popup, love seeing new features in action :)
And thank you!
@jesta Fantastic. I only came across your contributions yesterday and they have already transformed my understanding of the Steemit platform. I had absolutely no idea I could vote for witnesses. How exciting👍
That's awesome to hear! One of the main reasons I started building steemstats was to really get a deep understanding of how this all worked, and I'm really glad to hear it helped show you the same things!
This looks great and can't wait to see the finish product. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
Hi, @jesta I have a question about the estimated growth stats, here's a post about it.
Basically is it correct that even stagnant accounts are getting >200% SP growth a year?
Hrm I saw your comments on your other post, it's very possible that my calculations are incorrect.
What the program is doing is watching your accounts as long as you have the page open, and determining how much SP per second you're increasing. Then it extrapolates that number out to a year worth of seconds.
I'm curious to know exactly why they say 100% but it looks like 200%+ as well.
Great catch!
wrote another article about it hoping to get some answers. could it be because a lot of SP is powering down, 7 out of 10 of the big holders.
