Another discussion with 
We were trying to figure out if I was over-spending on my Steemit activities.
I have a tendency to get carried away with spending money, physical or crypto. Had I gone overboard with my SBD investment?
Using the approximately accurate math ( reward * 0.75 / 2 ) we can roughly determine the SBD I get back from an article.
payout=(( Amount(post["pending_payout_value"]).amount * 0.75) /2)
Therefore we can see what the actual reward was or forthcoming reward might be.
payout = (Amount(post["total_payout_value"]).amount - Amount(post["curator_payout_value"]).amount)
How do we tell how much I spent?
Code
from steem import Steem
s = Steem()
import time, random, os
rposts = s.get_account_history('makerhacks',-1,10000)
total = 0
for post in rposts:
operation = post[1]['op'][0]
if operation == "transfer":
if post[1]['op'][1]['from'] == "makerhacks" and not post[1]['op'][1]['to'] == "themarkymark":
print( post[1]['op'][1]['to'] + "\t\t\t" + str( post[1]['op'][1]['amount'] ))
total = total + float(post[1]['op'][1]['amount'].replace(' SBD',''))
print ("\n\n" + str(total) + " SBD \n\n\n")
This gets 10,000 transfers where I sent from my account but NOT to
Obviously you would need your own Steemit details and logic there.
