SteemWhales.com - History, graphs, and daily changes on your personal stats page
Two days ago I was introducing Steem Whales. The post received an astounding number of upvotes, and propulsed me from #~5500 to #1776 on my own website. Thanks to all upvoters. $300 is actually a respectable amount of money for me right now, but I think the right choice now for me is to convert ALL OF IT into STEEM POWER. Enough about me, let's talk about the website.
Now that we can sort steemians by anything, we need to know how things evolve through time. Now that we know who is on top or rock bottom, we need to know who is climbing and who is falling. As a consequence, SteemWhales.com now saves all the user stats every day, and gives public access to it, without anyone needing to replay the blockchain.
History graph, and daily changes stats
Consequently, I made individual pages that display and graph your stats through time! To see it, either you click a username from the list, or you can go directly to the url: http://steemwhales.com/heimindanger (see the nice jump yesterday). You can disable certain stats on the graphs by clicking on the legend, if you want to see more precisely.
I also believe a chart is not enough, sometimes data is easier to visualize in a table. So I just did that also, where you can see the daily changes on any stat. For any money type stats, I opted to display each daily change as a percentage increase, because that's how I like to see my money change, and it's probably the same for you if you are into cryptos.
As you can see, I have kept myself quite busy past few days. I'm usually not like that. And that's purely because of steem. I learnt about steem last week thanks to the +1000% market capitalization. I tried to read the white paper entirely, registered, lurked a lot of posts, tried a couple of shit posts/comments to figure things out, and now I'm hooked. I am really curious how it will turn out. Get hacked? Hyperinflation until 1STEEM = $0.01? Someone wins the game, gets all the coins and never upvotes anyone else but him? Or maybe just turn out as advertised (by the community) and become the new mainstream social network? Who knows.
In the future on SteemWhales.com
There is one thing I would like to collect more data on, and that is the upvotes. I want to know who upvotes who and how often. I want to see which users/bots are friends with each other and potentially colluding or auto upvoting each other.
Another thing that disturbs me also is the curation rewards. Sorting by it right now, will show you some very big whales, not the best curators. That's because curation rewards increase as your steem power increase. I am unsure how to do it yet, but I want to be able to find the technically best curators.
When Steem gets bigger and tags see more usage, I will make a feature to see statistics for a whole tag. Something kinda similar to reddit metrics. I think it is a bit a shame how tags work right now, and how we have no way to save our favorite tags. Tags even disappear after a while right now, and you can't access them without typing the url directly or finding an old post with this tag. Well I guess that's why there's a BETA sign next to the logo.
My previous post was short and straight to the point. And so were the comments. This time I went through my full train of thought for Steem Whales. I'm crossing my fingers for it to reflect in the comments and that I can get dozens of contructive feedback or new feature ideas, so that we can all improve the steem ecosystem hand-in-hand.
Did you find a way to be able to list the technically best curators? Thanks.
What is your criteria for technically best curators? If you're optimizing for performance, I suppose you could rank each user by (x/SP), where SP is their total steam power, and x is the average steem earned from curation in a given period (ie. past 7 days).
Very great website, great work !!!!
User friendly, i like e GUI. Thanks a lot @heimindanger for making this website. Thumbs UP!
Cool site, but it would even cooler if there were column with VESTS per account.
This is fantastic! Thank you! I was hoping to build something just like this, but you did a much better job than I ever would. It's beautiful and really functional. What a great tool!
@heimindanger: question, I was confused as to why it doesn't match up with what I see on the richlist on steemd. I noticed jamesc, for example, wasn't there. When I searched for him, I saw this message:
Does that mean only accounts with activity show up here?
Thanks again! You built a great tool I'll be using often.
Yep, it is now added. At the moment the website only tracks people that are active. Anyone with 0 post and 0 comments will be hard to find for it, just search it manually and it will add quickly.
Yeah, I just figured that out as well. Thanks! I was thinking I'll go through the top 500 and add any that are missing. :)
Actually you know what, I didn't know about the rich list before! I will add all the people in this list, probably go over 10k tracked users!
Also LOL about that comment plagiarism guy
@heimindanger: ah, okay. I was actually just about to write a little bash/curl script to do it, but if you're on it, I'll leave it to you. :)
And yeah, seriously. LOL indeed.
What do you use to determine the value of 1 STEEM?
I'm using the value of the steemit market for the rate. https://steemit.com/market
And estimated value = sbd + rate * (steem + steem_power)
So I guess the Estimated Value is in SB$ ?
I see. In theory, 1 SBD = 1 USD so this should be the same as estimated account value in USD. Right now though SBD is trading at ~28% premium (on Poloniex).
Thanks! Steamwhales.com is a great service. It's fun checking out my own stats, and I'm super curious to see how they change over time (but was too lazy to set up an excel sheet to track every day).
You'll certainly be getting my traffic.
Thanks for Steem Whales @heimindanger. I love your site and use it all the time to check my progress or better yet see other Steemians. The only issue is that when I bookmark my username it does not "work" because my value is a moving target for example:
http://steemwhales.com/?p=139&s=total&hl=coinz
Tomorrow or even in the next few hours my ranking will go up or down off of page 139.
Small inconvenience. You site is GREAT!
very good info! thanks @heimindanger
@heimindanger Thanks. I recently did an articles [EN, RU] about this tool too.
