Tracking the HIVE supply is a challenge!
In theory the formula for calculating HIVE inflation:
Hive inflation = (978 - (head_block_number / 250000)) / 100 =
(978 – (59083816/250000))/100
Hive inflation = 7.42%
It rounds up at the end at 0.5% I think, so it should be 7.5% at the moment.
I have posted about the supply before here:
The HIVE Supply Is Going Down | A Breakdown Of The HIVE Historical Supply
But things are not as simple, especially when we add HBD into the equation and the constant flow of value between HIVE and HBD.
In summary we have this.
HIVE Created:
- Author rewards, HP and HIVE
- Curation rewards HP
- Witness rewards HP
- Staking rewards HP
- HBD to HIVE Conversions
HIVE Removed:
- HIVE transfers to null
- New accounts creation fee
- HIVE to HBD conversions
- HIVE ninja mine conversions in the DHF
- Instant HIVE to HBD conversions from HIVE transfers to DHF
I'm thinking to sum this ones for every month, and finally the start and the end of the HIVE supply for the month and the real inflation, or deflation :) and what has contributed the most towards that.
