In this post I look at the effect of STEEM and SBD prices on the US dollar value of 50/50 rewards. Below is an equation to express the US dollar value (Value_usd) of a 50/50 rewards payout of 1 STEEM as

This post is intended to be an improved version of my earlier post, Why the proposed two-way SBD peg is a very bad idea, and the goal of this post is to alert the Steem community about how the proposed

Update: There is an improved version of this post, The accumulate, pump, and convert strategy to show that the proposed two-way SBD peg can be abused. The Steem witnesses appear to be seriously considering

I set out to see what the total supply of SBD was over time, and I found it interesting to plot both the supply and the price of both SBD and Steem on the same graph. In order to fit them all on the same

One of my goals with these daily summaries was to learn about steemfollower along the way and document my findings. I had it in the back of my mind that I would eventually create one really nice summary

The 3x promotion feature I talked about in day 4 (see also days 1, 2, and 3), opened the floodgates of votes, but it really used up my steemfollower points quickly so I only plan to use the 3x promote

I was surprised to see that @mahdiyari commented on my day 3 summary; however, he wasn't too impressed with the summaries of my first three days (1, 2, and 3), and I don't think he'll be too impressed

Today is my day 3 summary of testing out steemfollower (see also day 1 and day 2). I still haven't received many votes, and I wasn't sure what I was going to write about tonight, but I noticed that the

Today is my day 2 summary of testing out steemfollower (click here for day 1). I've voted on a lot of posts by steemfollower users, and I've earned a lot of points, but so far I haven't seen a commensurate

A quick summary of steemfollower is that it is a system that incentivizes steemfollower users to vote for each other. It is kind of like how friends have social incentive to vote for each other except

Edit to add: I originally used the term "steemcleaners" to describe this concept because I didn't realize that steamcleaners was a term already being used to describe something different so I

In a couple earlier postss analyzed the inflation rate of SmartCash as well as historical SmartRewards payout percentages by month. In this post I attempt to estimate the SmartRewards payout percentages

There is an article written back in March of 2016 titled, How to Launch a Crypto Currency Legally while Raising Funds which appears to be written by Daniel Larimer, (i.e. @dantheman), and it gets me thinking

I was able to find an answer to a question I had in my SmartCash Inflation Rate post where I wanted to know if there was a place you could go to see the percentage SmartRewards ends up paying out each

I've been using Ubunto desktop on my primary computer for about 3 years now, and I can't imagine going back to Windows. I wanted to share my experience in case some of you are thinking about switching

I wasn't able to find any analysis of the inflation rate for the SmartCash SMART cryptocurrency so I decided to try and do some of my own analysis. Hopefully my work is accurate, and hopefully some of

I think a lot of forum owners would be interested in being able to use the chainBB.com system on their own domain name where it would work just like chainBB.com currently works except it would be on their

I typically don't pay attention to the mainstream media, but I took a quick look to see how they were covering the recent drop in cryptocurrencies, and I am somewhat surprised to see how little coverage

The fork in the road that eventually led me to create an account on Steemit was my wife asking me to buy her some bitcoin. The thought of buying bitcoin when it was over $2000 was very difficult for me
