RE: Programming Diary #28: Thoughts on the problem of overvaluation

in Steem Dev2 months ago

ok. Our replies crossed in the mail😉. See my other reply. The web site just doesn't report the beneficiary numbers after payout time, but it did split 50/50.

Sort:  

That was what was confusing me. I'm glad I asked now; thank you for explaining. I was looking at it wrong. But see, it's things like this that go unanswered that further hurt this site. Without a way to ask questions, it gets left up to the imagination, which = people leaving in the process once frustration fully sets in.

Yes, after that I also moaned a lot ;-)) By the way, a good place to ask questions and get well-founded answers is the Talk Channel in the WOX... Mostly no one uses it.

Again, the problem is that we have to look at the comments of a post several times (as I did with this post :-) ). The questions that are usually raised in the post are less interesting for me.

Yeah, we can definitely use better documentation and places to ask questions. These are the sorts of things that we can do in a decentralized way if we grow the community enough, but it's sort of a catch-22. In the meantime, I'm happy to answer questions like these whenever I am able.

Coincidentally, this reporting with beneficiary rewards is exactly why I calculated the total the way I did in the browser extension. Here's what the curator's overlay shows for that post:

As described above:

Total value is calculated as total_pending_payout_value + 2 ( curator_payout_value ) in order to handle values before and after payout time and to also include the post value that went to beneficiaries at payout time.

As an approximate value, this calculation is absolutely fine.
