RE: Historical rates for VESTS and STEEM
Interesting theory, but if that were the case we'd surely see more variability in the other days of the week too. I can't quite understand how power-down events affect this rate anyway? Perhaps the mechanics of the 102 week power-down are different in some way? In any case, if this data is valid, then some days are slightly better for powering down than others, which seems quite strange.
I have assumed linear interpolation between certain time points for the steemreports financial tools, so wanted to see how accurate that was, and this has confused me a bit! ;)
Well, VESTS are just a representation of your ownership over the
total_vesting_fund_steem, so when the vesting fund takes a massive hit (from a large powerdown), it's bound to affect the overall value of each VEST in some way. You'd think it would be proportional and wouldn't impact it - but maybe there's something strange happening here.I don't have a great answer, but due to the fact that it seems to be once a week (which correlates to a power down), it leads me to believe they're somehow related. Either that or someone is manually doing something else (powering up?) once a week like clockwork :)
Right, yes, it makes some sense to me, and the pattern fits the hypothesis. I'll have to think about it more though. Thanks.
