What is it?
The Hive Account Health Dashboard is a tool that gives an overview of a Hive account at a glance. It collects information about the account you lookup with the tool and plots the information in a dashboard.
Each metric has its own thresholds, and depending on the value, the metric box will change color to green, orange, or red.
For some metrics, tables with additional information will show up below the dashboard.
Why I made this?
Lately I've seen quite a lot of accounts spamming Hive to get a share of the reward pool to extract it immediately. I think it is important that we support users who add value to Hive instead of extracting value. And that is and it is not based on monetary factors alone. Engagement is very important too!
AI tools make it easy for scammers to create content that might seem valuable, but other metrics of these accounts may give a different view.
There are many metrics stored on the blockchain, but in the current front ends they are not always easy or quick to find, so I personally find it quite difficult to tell whether an account adds value to Hive or not.
And that's why I created this tool. It brings together the metrics that I personally find interesting into one dashboard, while also visually highlighting metrics that exceed certain thresholds.
One important thing I want to mention: based on feedback from the first users, some people noticed that one or more of their metrics were marked orange or red.
It is absolutely not my intention to make you only upvote accounts that have a completely green dashboard. The tool should be seen as a way to quickly get an overview of multiple metrics at the same time. It's up to anyone to interpret the warnings and values and draw their own conclusions.
The biggest advantage of this tool is that it brings multiple blockchain metrics together in one clear and easy-to-read dashboard. When an account triggers multiple warnings across several metrics, you might want to check these out.
The configured thresholds
I've been playing around a bit with the thresholds in the past days after receiving feedback from the community. These are probably not the final thresholds, but it will give you an insight in what they are.
If you have any suggestions; feel free to share them in the comments.
| Metric | GREEN | ORANGE | RED |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reputation | ≥ 25 | 10–24 | ≤ 10 |
| Account Age (days) | ≥ 31 | — | < 31 |
| Hive Power (HP) | ≥ 100 | — | < 100 |
| Delegated HP | ≤ 25,000 | 25,000–50,000 | > 50,000 |
| Delegation % | ≤ 25% | 25–50% | > 50% |
| Posts (7 days) | ≤ 7 | 8–10 | > 10 |
| Comments (7 days) | ≥ 14 | 7–13 | < 7 |
| Comment/Post Ratio | ≥ 0 | < 0 | — |
| Outgoing Transfers (30d) | ≤ 10 HIVE & ≤ 5 HBD | — | > 10 HIVE or > 5 HBD |
| Krampus Efficiency (KE) | < 2 | 2–5 | ≥ 5 |
| Blacklist | Not listed | — | Listed |
An example
I thought it might be interesting to show you some examples on how I use it.
Let me begin with my own account:
It shows an almost all green dashboard (not so strange for the one that configured the thresholds himself 😂).
There is one warning about an incoming downvote and a small outgoing transfer. The detail pages show the account that downvoted and where the transfer is going (my own account).
Second example
This is an example of one of the scammers accounts. This wave of scammers use account that have been registered for quite a while and already have a good reputation number. This shows that these figures alone aren't enough to determine whether an account adding value or not.
Here is an example of one of the posts. Note that the downvotes only appeared after the account was reported to Hivewatchers. You see this post had already received 110 upvotes before the downvotes.
The Hive Account Health Dashboard of this user shows a couple of red flags;
- A low active HP for an account that has been registered 785 days ago.
- A warning for a slightly high KE.
- Quite a low interaction (10 comments in 7 days)
- A small amount of extracted Hive towards an exchange
- Quite a lot of incoming downvotes. Most from spaminator, but also others.
- It's on the Hivewatchers blacklist.
Third example
This example of a user that have upvoted multiple times in the past. The dashboard shows a user that hasn't received any downvotes in the past 30 days, which is positive. But there are a couple of other metrics that I found interesting for this account.
To begin with; the Hiver hasn't interacted at in the comments. Not on its own blogs, nor others. Apart from that I see quite a large outgoing transfer to a known exchange. And the KE figure shows this is not the first time.
If I'm correct (and correct me if I'm wrong), a KE of 88 means that this user has extracted 88 times the amount of its active HP. So 371 time 88 = 32648 Hive which is almost $2000.
Yes, there can be reasons for extracting and everyone can do whatever he want, but my conclusion after seeing this was that I stopped upvoting this account.
Conclusion
It is just a tool and use it as such! I don't advise you to stop supporting accounts that don't have an 'all green' dashboard. There can be valid reasons why thresholds are exceeded.
I think it's a good tool to check up on accounts you're not familiar with to get a first glance of what they are doing on Hive based on the metrics in the dashboard.
I also use it to check some accounts I'm upvoting regularly to reconsider if I still think they deserve the support.
Play around with the tool, do your own research and make well-informed decisions based on what you consider important!
Feedback
I would love to hear what you think of the tool. Please start using it and share your opinions, suggestions, complaints. You can do this in the comments or visit the Discord Server I created for this project.
Regarding any changes or feature requests; these are welcome, but please keep in mind that I am not a developer. I built this tool with the help of AI, and I have already noticed that implementing new functionality can be challenging (I have already broken the tool several times).
Still, don’t let that stop you from sharing your requests.
Go and play with it: Hive Account Health Dashboard
