Fun with Charts
I charted Net rshares (the Rewards Shares resulting from votes) against total post rewards from both before and after HF 19.
The extreme values of rShares really blows the X-axis out of proportion so I have taken a snip of the excel table and included it below.
Analysis
I took 4 posts from 4 different authors and 1 post from each author pre and post HF19. The chart clearly shows that HF19 has resulted in a linear rewards curve. The more interesting part is the more powerful votes with respect to rshares. Below are two votes for my own posts, one from pre-HF19 and one post:
Pre-HF19
Post-HF19
To be fair, my Steem Power has increased by 0.7% over that time period, but that is a 2.47 times increase in voting power. So now I understand why @Kingscrown's latest post has significantly more rShares as many users have probably not adjusted their voting power to the changes (damn autovotes :-p). I would also note that on an exponential curve his post would have received a far greater reward.
has indicated that the change in rewards is also due to a change to the rewards pool.
From Steemd.com, I see that the rewards pool currently sits at: 1,637,957.384 STEEM. I will now keep an eye on that value in my daily investor reports to see if it is increasing or decreasing over time. It appears that the rewards pool is a new metric to watch to gauge you post rewards.
