RE: Is the STEEM supply growth rate approaching a turning point?
Sorry, but I haven't had time to go into your puzzle yet.
So far I have been able to identify the following points that could be responsible for the deviations. Perhaps we can check this out in parallel.
- In the code, the basis for the new STEEM is the
virtual_supply. I guess you used thecurrent_supply. - Only the top witnesses get 461 VESTS. The reserve witnesses get around 2306 VESTS.
- Some calculations in
process_fundsare still giving me a headache at the moment, especially with regard to the witness-rewards. I need to do a little more work on that.
Ah, you're right on this point, too:
I got it from here, and I thought they were giving virtual supply, but looking now it's actually the current supply. (So now the question is, how do I get the virtual supply number from Dec. 6, 2016...)
Update:
Found it from November 27, 2016: 240,587,032.201. So, I'll estimate it at 243,000,000 for now.
Is there a reason to start from Dec 6 2016 rather than from whatever the current stats are?
Not really. Just curiosity. I'll update the top-level post with a new estimate starting from December 6, and a new estimate starting from today.
Ah... Thanks! this was most of it.
I knew that once, but forgot this morning.
I changed the vests per block to (20 * 461 + 2306)/21, and here's what I get...
So that gets it within 400 STEEM. Good enough for government work. ;-)
Ah, so that's how it works ;-))
If you use all decimal places for the witness vests, the difference becomes even smaller.
(for all non-government services ;-)
