Welcome to the 1st witness report of SteemitBoard.

Like all other witnesses, SteemitBoard will publish a regular report on its activity and how it helped the Steemit platform and its users to grow.

Introduction

SteemitBoard witness introduction has been made approximately 2 months ago. For those who don’t know why SteemitBoard is a witness, I highly recommend to read the introduction post. This one is full of information.

Work done

Notifications

Since 08.05.2017, SteemitBoard is sending notifications to inform users of their progress on Steemit.

Until yesterday, SteemitBoard has sent 144089 notifications, with the number of notifications sent everyday growing and nearing 3200 notifications per day.

Here a small chart to display this evolution

Of course, SteemitBoard suffered the bandwidth problems the platform has encountered mid july.

If SteemitBoard is able to send so many notifications per day, this is thanks to your support. Each time you vote on the notification, you increase SteemitBoard power and bandwidth, allowing it to notify users of their achievements more quickly.

Here an evolution of the support received on notifications

Notifications are really appreciated and users have sent a lot of positive feedback.

Thanks for all those who keep upvoting the notifications they receive.

Support from SteemitBoard to other users

Remember @steemitboard upvotes user’s post each time it send a notification.

At the very beginning, the upvote strength was 10% for every notification. But as there was more and more notifications sent, its voting power was depleting very quickly.

After some test and adjustments, voting process rules have been adapted as follow:

Action type	VP %	Description
“first” award	1	It has been reduced to avoid giving too much on new users that come and go
generated by user	0	It has been set to zero to avoid abuse by accounts generating a lot of informations with low value
generated by other (upvotes and comments)	2	This is the reward when others users appreciate your work
Special awards (Top xxx, Daily Author, Weekly Author, ...)	5	Voting power is set to reward committed users

Here a graph showing how the voting power has been distributed to users

And here's a chart with the number of votes made every day. You will notice that SteemitBoard has upvoted up to 2260 posts per day and is now on a lower average with approximately 1000 posts upvoted per day.

Actually, @SteemitBoard is not powerful enough to have a big effect on payout of the posts. Anyway, its upvotes already help to raise the active user’s reputation.

SteemitBoard is grateful when you support it

Some users already voted for @SteemitBoard as a delegate. This support is very appreciated and has been rewarded with a small gift: each supporter get the following award which is displayed on his/her personal page on SteemitBoard.

A special thank you to all who already voted for @SteemitBoard and already received their award.

If you want to make this award yours, that’s quite simple, support the project SteemitBoard and vote for @steemitboard as a witness here!

Please note that the award will stay on your board only if you keep your vote for the delegate. This will help the active supporter of SteemitBoard to recognize each others.
