Every post published via Utopian includes a %20 cut-off from author rewards to support the delegators of the project.
Considering Utopian bot gives huge upvotes, I am totally okay with it. That share looks fair enough for giving back to utopian backers.
However, steem interfaces (condenser, busy, utopian .etc) don't handle beneficiaries well. Potential payout values confuse authors.
You will see your potential payout drops a lot when the payout time comes. Especially with the beneficiaries.
In order to learn the true value of posts, I made a quick tool to find out what I will get from my contributions.
For example: An older post of mine looks like this at the moment:
When I use the estimator.steem.rocks, I can see the exact amount of author rewards.
With the current rate, It looks like I will get $15.46 for this post.
You can change your utopian/steemit/busy posts URL and write down http://estimator.steem.rocks instead to use it easily.
Example URL: @emrebeyler/introducing-utopy-utopian-curation-bot
It includes:
The project is open-source.
https://github.com/emre/reward_estimator
You can install it on your own and play with it.
I have a couple of ideas expanding this into a larger project:
Also, incoming post in the "steem-python for dummies" series will explain the code and calculation logic behind it.
