Today I would like to introduce a brand new dashboard Curator Voting History the idea for which came out of the discussions about my
@seattlea/updates-to-my-hive-curators
post. This dashboard is brand new and is a work in progress. Some of the data has not been populated yet. The HAF SQL queries got a bit intense to retrieve the data on the current top 100 curators than go over all the authors that they voted on in the last five years and calculate KE for each of the authors then enrich the dataset with the KE data on the top one thousand authors they voted for.
The chart that you see above is the basic high level view of the total curation rewards earned by the top twenty Hive curators in the last five years. And as you know this is exactly the amount of curation rewards that these curators distributed in the last five years.
As we know from my other dashboard top twenty curators account for over 57% of all curation rewards distributed on Hive Weekly:
And top One Hundred curators that I am looking at here account for about 82% of weekly curation rewards on Hive! So once we looked at the top 100 we pretty much get a good picture of how curation rewards are distributed on Hive every week.
To view the details for a particular curator you need to select one from the dropdown pictured below as well as select the week you want to vie the results for:
In this case I have selected @smooth who is ranked at number five and I have selected the data for the latest week available and we can see that this curator earned and distributed 1,996,365 HP in curation rewards over the last five years. and the KE score is pretty good at only 2.51739. That might be due to the fact that smooth is mostly voting for HBD.funder and buildawhale:
Among top authors in the last five years that smooth has voted on is @blocktrades
@howo and
@quochuy in addition to hbd.funder and build a whale, which you can see from the chart above.
You can also see that smooth has voted on just the two accounts in the last week:
This contributes to his fairly low curation rewards Distribution rank of 94 out of a 100 top curators, basically most of the rewards are locked up among very few accounts. The question if that is good or bad is a matter of opinion, perhaps by voting on these initiatives above smooth is reducing Hive effective inflation by locking up the curation rewards where they are not likely to end up on exchanges. Blocktrades is doing the same thing by the way:
Here you can see that blocktrades who is ranked as a number three curator by the rewards earned in the last five years primarily distributed his curation rewards to hbd.funder:
Blocktrades weighted KE ratio is not as great though, probably because of these two accounts that he has upvoted over the last five years: anomadsoul and obaro:
If we take a look at the details of the selected week table for blocktrades we can see where his upvotes are going:
He is mostly upvoting the hbd.funder allocating over 90% of his curation towards that initiative and a total of almost seventeen thousand HP towards it and he throws some curation to @worldmappin project as well as
@detlev and
@acidyo but those are in the range of about 300 HP each this week. The rest are 90 HP and under as you can see from the table above.
If we select the number one curator by curation rewards in the last five years @appreciator we see a totally different picture:
Top recipients of curation rewards over the last five years are under 2% each compared to 50 to 90% for blocktrades and the current week shows a similar pattern:
This results in appreciator being ranked number three on curation rewards Distribution metric:
This is a fairly fresh dashboard and needs some testing, but you can already glean a lot of information on how Hive Curation is done... So go ahead and take a look: https://seattlea.z5.web.core.windows.net/curator-voting-history-dashboard.html
And let me know what you think in comments below.
I am a Hive Witness and would really appreciate your vote for me as a witness: https://vote.hive.uno/@seattlea
If you prefer your Hive Witnesses to never power down I am one of those Hive Witnesses. I believe that unless you are a top 20 witness and running more than just a Hive Witness node then you don't need to power down.
