RE: How much of the total Steem SP is not voting?
Hi @crokkon
Good stuff!
An analysis that answers some questions and raises a few also.
This means that the total SteemPower that is voting per day is slightly increasing, despite the number of voters decreasing. I didn't do the math here since this is only a side effect in the context of this work, but correlating this with the network inflation could give additional insights here.
This sounds promising and it looks like good scope for future investigations.
Also, there's a "dip" around Oct. 24th - does anybody know what happened there? The number of voters did not change, but the overall vote value was significantly reduced?!
I see Paula found the answer as to what caused it, but do you have more info as to why vote values dipped?
Really interesting, well-written, and presented!

Thanks, Asher, also for the RS! As often, the analysis immediately raised some questions for a follow-up investigation. Yes, Paula's remarks on the update/release of Steem 0.20.6 fit exactly to the timestamp of the dip. Yet I haven't really understood why this change affected the total rshares on that day but not the number of distinct voters.
No worries.
Were there less votes on this day overall? Maybe the regular voters got at least 1 or 2 autos in before/after some downtime to the auto tools?
But this wouldn't reduce the size of votes?
Thank you for your review, @abh12345! Keep up the good work!
