RE: An Experiment in Visualizing Steem Voting Patterns (but not very well)
"Percent" is pretty clear, but "rshares" is sometimes zero on votes I've made, and I don't understand what "weight" actually means.
I notice you've voted on some older posts, are those the ones with zero rshares? Posts pay out once at seven days and then never again, so votes on posts older than that have no value. (They still count against voting power, though.)
I've seen "weight" mean several things in different spots, but I'm not sure what this one is.
Hm, I'd seen conflicting accounts of what happens after seven days, but I guess that answers it.
I can understand a bias towards recent posts, but as a publishing model having no back catalog kind of sucks. Particularly for applications like musing.io or for tutorials where somebody may have an old answer that is still relevant and I would like to reward.
Yeah, but witnesses processing active payouts for a geometrically-increasing amount of content also sucks. I think if you found a solution for that everyone would be thrilled.
