1. Vote Counts

The following SQL query has been used to extract this data:

---

Total number of votes given in the past 7 days: 867

Number of votes given in the past 7 days for comments: 0

Daily average: 124

---

Total number of votes given in the past 30 days: 3449

Number of votes given in the past 30 days for comments: 9

Daily average: 115

---

Total number of votes given since 29th September (first vote): 4441

Number of votes given since 29th September for comments: 19

Daily average: 58

As we can see, @utopian-io has increased its daily number of votes over the past two and a half months and the average daily number of up-votes continue to rise. The 7 day average vote count is almost double the average since the start of the project 76 days ago.

2. Votes and Reputation

The vote count is on the vertical axis, and the reputation range on the horizontal axis.

---

Votes across Reputation over the past 7 days

To extract this data, the following SQL query has been used:

_{Note the calculation to refine the user reputation, and the joining of the 'Accounts' table and 'TxVotes' table.}

The average reputation here is 57.9

---

The average reputation here is 58.7

---

Its interesting to see the average reputation of contribution account still in the 50's, but is steadily increasing as time goes on.

---

Weight (Strength) of votes cast across reputation over the past 7 days

4. Analysis and Summary

The number of average daily votes has risen impressively since the beginning of the @utopian-io project. This shows the number of author posts relating to @utopian-io is increasing, and the accounts' willingness to support them.

The average reputation of post owner voted on is 58.8 across the lifetime of voting but averages at 57.9 in the past week. This shows a continuing trend from the last analysis of the data, whereby there is a constant influx of new authors for @utopian-io, who are looking to contribute and build their reputation here.

Vote weight has fallen in line with the increasing amount of contributions submitted and approved by @utopian-io. This is sensible and good to see as it shows there is consideration towards voting appropriately, both to keep the vote power of the bot at a high level, and reduce the time-frame between voting runs.

Also, with the sharp rise in the value of STEEM this past week, the vote weight can be lowered and still provide the contributors with an acceptable 'payment' for their work.

The most popular vote weight percentages this past week are 5, 8, 10, and 15%, with the maximum vote weight being 20%.

This is the first week since the inception of the project, that the vote weight has not surpassed 20%.

Only 14 submissions were rewarded with a vote weight higher than 15%

Overall, I think @utopian-io are using their Steem Power delegation appropriately. It is my feeling that in time, the vote weight for each category will fall further as the number of daily contributions increase further.

Without additional delegation, or a fall in the price of STEEM, some authors may consider their options when choosing to contribute via https://utopian.io. At this point in time, the future is looking bright for this project.
