Take a look at how the top 120 active witnesses have fared in the past week.
Why I am doing this?
We like to see witnesses taking part and engaging with the community. Someone said the other day... in a comment I can no longer find :P
The table below is the same format as the one I use to measure engagement and selflessness in the weekly post, which has received 498 comments and 603 views since Sunday.
The master list is taken from here: https://steemian.info/witnesses
A little bit of research has been done to try and find the 'main' accounts doing the engaging that are related to the witness account.
Many caveats
This data only assesses Blockchain engagement and loveliness and does not include:
- witnesses that haven't written a word on the Blockchain in the past week
- counseling sessions on discord
- promotional event headline speeches
- Shilling STEEM elsewhere on social media
- Lines of code written in the past week on a dazzling new app
- Works spoken in Vlogs
- Words spoken on the phone to other witnesses who are crapping their pants because their node is down and they dunno what to do
- Comment text, up-votes, self-votes made by accounts not on this list (alternate witness accounts)
This data only assesses Blockchain engagement and loveliness but does include:
- Comment text not manually written (e.g. steemitboard awards, jerrybanfield bid-bot thank you message
- Up-votes not manually given (utopian-io votes, good-karma via eSteem application)
- Data for the past 7 days
So basically this list is not perfect, but hopefully a reasonable indication witness engagement over the past week.
I have highlighted 'teams' of people which together form one witness account. At present they are:
exyle/s3rg3/eqko/bennierex = blockbrothers
sircork/rhondak/beanz = sircork
abh12345/paulag = steemcommunity
If you have corrections to the list, please let me know.
KEY:
- Posts (P)
- Comments - number of (C)
- Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R) (new this week)
- Comments - length in characters (C L)
- Witness votes (W)
- Up-votes to others (V)
- Unique account Up-votes (U V)
- Self-votes - a small minus score for this one sorry! (S V)
- Down votes - (D V)
The Witness Engagement Table
Data snapshot taken at 19/4/2018 10:30am UTC from steemsql by
But what does it mean?!
Those who take part in my weekly engagement league have an advantage here, but the KEY above the table should help.
As mentioned, a crap looking score for a witness on this least may not mean they are actually that. This witness could be busy coding away, or being very active and engaging on discord.
Also, a good looking score may also not mean the witness is awesome - programmed votes, bid-bot votes, and auto comments should be considered.
This is just one angle into engagement!
A little analysis and opinion
steemitboard, arcange, utopian-io, good-karma, steem-bounty) and jerrybanfield (and perhaps more) give both manual and programmed comments or up-votes, or both
The average 'SCORE' without the top 3 included is 446
The top 10 writers of comments further than level 2 in a comment thread
(e.g Post-comment1-comment2-we are here)
- Well done to the Witnesses with a positive score!
What do you think?
Would you, as a non-witness or a witness, like to see this list each week?
What do you think of the data you see?
Is engagement here on the blockchain important to you?
Could I make this post/list more useful?
Thanks you for your time
I am half of the
