RE: What is the reward pool share of vote sellers, bid bots and autovotes?

in #utopian-io7 years ago

Hi @crokkon

Thank you for another contribution in this area, which is consistently a hot topic and of personal interest to me as well.

I really nice approach on solving this part of the puzzle, innovative stuff :D

Once the transactions are available, the public key of the signer can be extracted with beem's Signed_Transaction class. This takes a couple of 10ms per transaction on my machine. There are ~700k votes per day, so that's going into hours of computing time per day even in the optimal case.

Ouch - this helps with understanding as to the relatively small data-set, but I think 1 day is quiet reasonable in the circumstances.

This list is led by steemauto with 268k votes! This means that more than 40% of all votes (by number) on that day were done by steemauto.

Considering Steemvoter is an older service, and i think the first (perhaps Streemian is older?), and if we could include self-scripted vote automation, I would suggest the grand total of auto-votes to be easily over half of all daily votes.

So the total reward pool share is looking to be around 30-35% each day, at present. It doesn't seem to have grown too much, if at all, since your/@paulag's/my previous attempts to uncover this figure. That's hopefully something positive at least?

My one small gripe is that the Pies are not big enough :D

Cheers!

Thank you for your review, @abh12345!

So far this week you've reviewed 1 contributions. Keep up the good work!

Hi @abh12345, thanks for the review! I also expect a good fraction of auto-votes not covered by this approach. Steemvoter is certainly one of the bigger players there, signing votes directly with the user's posting keys so they are indistinguishable from manual votes from their signature. I'm a bit hesitant to confirm that the reward pool share hasn't changed since the last analysis with a larger time scale. We've seen considerable fluctuations across days before, so there is still a chance that I hit a day with comparably high or low relative share.
I'll go for bigger pies next time :)

Fair enough, fingers crossed. And always go for bigger pies, they are very popular!
